I did the same thing with my intake. however, I just plugged up the hole in the intake side...It's already getting air from the main intake filter. It looks phat too!

OK, OK, again I PLUGGED THE HOLE ON THE INTAKE, THE FILTER IS ON THE VALVE COVER. LOOK AT THE PIC UNDER THE ONE OF THE HEADER IN THE OVEN. This is a good pic showing the bolt that plugs the intake bung.

Updated with pics of the RS LIP.
I know they are dark, I took them with my phone today after work. I will try to get some better with my real camera later.

There has been some talk about turn signal bulbs that are clear or "chrome" then light up amber well in the last pic you can see them. In some of the earlier pics they are lit up.

Let me know what you guys (and gals if there are any) think.

Morning bump.

I think blacked out headlights would look better.

Alpha 5 · 06-02-2007

I am thinking about it. I just paid soooo much for these from Password. I am thinking of picking up some oem on Ebay or some thing and playing around. Just a thought.

Looks good Alpha, don't like the rim personally, but its your car not mine. I think that hood would actually work for my goofy wastegate placement. If you were to give it me, I wouldn't turn it down. Think of the weight savings and extra cooling effect on your engine.....I'm really doing you a favor.

Otherwise, you've got nice setup. I agree on the BO headlights though.

Alpha 5 · 07-24-2007

Thanks for the kind words.

When I get some extra $ (HA,HA) I plan on replacing the wheels, I had hubcaps and stealies. So these are better than that.

I would trade you hoods but you would just paint this CF one also, I can't have that. LOL

I am going to buy another set of lights just to Black out. I do not want to ruin these. I paid WAAAAYYYYY tooo much for them from Passwordjdm...

Here is a more recent pic. I am parked out in front of the stereo shop that I am sponsored by.

UPS dropped something off today. Check it out. LOL

Ups @ My House!!!!!

hey how does your evo hood work with your sri? like do u keep that little plate under it off when it rains or do u put it on and take it off depending on the weather??

Alpha 5 · 08-05-2007

Unless it is just raining like crazy, I leave it off. I figure it is going to get wet anyway so.....I mean when you drive threw a puddle or just driving in the rain it gets wet.
Here is a better question. If you look at the hood there are two vents (one on either side of the cheese grater) these vents look like mini ram air scoops. The one on the passenger side is right in front of the intake. So even with the shield on the cheese grater the other vent blows air or water right at the intake filter. What can I do about that?
Last month Southern Oklahoma got something like 20" of rain. I drove my car every day. I have no problems the car runs fine.

So a friend of mine just purchased a camera:
Canon EOS 10.5 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera
Model: EOS 40D

And he has no idea how to use it. So I suggested we go take some pictures of my car. That way he can practice and I can have more pics to show off. Now, as I mentioned he has no idea how to use this thing so some of the pics look like crap and yes in most of the pics he was using a tripod. We went down to the old town square which has orange lights so that made most of the pics look funny anyway.

Well here are the pics, comments as usual are expected.
Lastly: I KNOW I NEED A DROP.

This is for foos. LOL

looks damn good

MURDOCK · 10-01-2007

Hey Alpha 5 we need some day time pics but looks very nice from what I see.
Once you lower your car it will look 10xs better. Man I still need to lower mine, but shit at least you have the suspension ready to go in If I had all the parts I'd have it lowered tomorrow.
