Dont' forget to wrap that header. How's it treating you though? I've always kinda been tempted to get one, but never wanted to cough up the cash.

I can DEFINITELY feel the difference when I put my foot down. Worth the money. When I was pulling out from a stoplight today, I gave it about 3/4 throttle (I drive aggressive... biggrin.gif ) and it seemed like I flooring it before. Like 3/4 now is full throttle before... Idk, hard to explain haha, but you can feel the difference.

How's it sound? I've been told it's like the intake, how you don't really hear it unless you are in the throttle.

Honestly I didn't hear much of a sound difference at all. I have the stock exhaust, that may be why. The only sound difference I hear is that it sounds like the intake is taking in more air.. Like before I could make my car sound completely stock by just easing on the throttle, but now you can hear the intake even when just barely pressing the gas.

Maybe my imagination though, I dunno.

Was the gasket any good? I heard ebay gaskets are ****ty and leak. And would be better off getting a toyota gasket than having to go in the touble to change it the 2nd time round when it leaks. Anyways i like coming to this thread so see pretty pics of mods and parts. Any clues on whats next?

You sure? I think my car is going to be 'TRUCKIN', haha. I'm pretty sure it will sit about an inch higher...

Anyone wanna give me some lowering springs? I'll pay for shipping! biggrin.gif

What are you talking about? Your car looks like it was meant to be a little high. Looks like a race car haha. I want a white celi so bad kindasad.gif

You're a lucky guy.

Mine's just going to look like a guy who doesn't have enough money for lowering springs so I sit like 4 feet from the ground frown.gif

Looks great man...I know the feeling of elation at having rims. And you've got an intake, header, more horses out of the box, and 5 gears...lucky guy. Now give that sucker a drop and it'll look finished.

What do you do for work?

Are all your streets always empty? You always seem to be able to take pics when your car is half turned at a intersection?

Okay, I assume the latter is pretty damn good business. I just wonder where the hell you make all the cash flow. Pretty cool that you can do it yourself though. I also have a little wash and wax type deal going on, but it's not taking off as much as I thought it might.

A housing company started building streets and stoplights and everything for a new housing development they were building, and then got shut down because they didn't have a permit to build on wetlands. So all the roads out there are just empty. It's pretty awesome, if you ask me biggrin.gif

Try asking some of your family members. That's what I did. I detailed my aunts car, grandmas car, etc, then then tell their friends.. etc etc. I have more business that I can keep up with most of the time! laugh.gif

Not really an "update" but I removed that heat shielding under the hood... Looks like they forgot to paint :[

The next project will be painting it black to make it look decent.

Now that you have those rims, aren't you glad you didn't paint the stockers?
