Today (well, yesterday) I made a "Cooler" mod for my IAT/MAF ...

http://www.box.net/shared/static/jdq6t5shdk.jpg

Just wrapped up the MAF/IAT with a professionally made automotive heat blanket. No crazy drilling, no time consuming relocating, no insane wire cutting.

Simple. Un-intrusive. Inexpensive. Obviously Effective (withstands 2000 degrees of radiant heat).

Next (and last) the SLP Blackhawk tube/filter. ;)

Well.. actually, sent it off to the frame shop last monday....... no progress yet, but we'll see..... ordered new PS pump, res, and pulley so I can put the front of the engine back together with the belt too...

Saturday took the beast out for a much needed drive to get my "fix". Came home and did not cover her up. On Sunday gave her a good hand wash and covered her backup. Great weekend!!

yesterday i washed my car and put the ghost armor on my radio face, it looks real good, can't even tell it's there

PAUL SS 08-02-2010 12:16 PM

Washed and waxed yesterday. Today I put blue vynil on my front and rear bow ties. I will put up pictures tonight when I get home.

Also went to four digits on the odometer, passed the 1,000 mile mark.

Mine was 6 months old yesterday and gave it the first handwash with Adams! It's not my daily driver, just turned 1,600 miles on it and it's never been driven in the rain. So all I've had to do up 'till now is dust 'er off after each outing.
But it had a bunch of the brake dust on the inner part of the rims that I needed to get outta there, so I felt the need to give it a real good handwash. Looks awesome!

Gave it a quick detail via "Meguiars Ultimate Quick Detailer" and man does she look good! Leaving it in the garage, looks like it might rain.

Thanks, I had it painted at my dealership. They have a great body shop. Cost was $54.

A local sign & vinyl graphic shop did the inlays for $40. Now I thought that was a little steep but I'm very happy with the results.

Sevn86 08-04-2010 06:57 AM

I switched my license plate lights to blue led bulbs...

2SS BUMBLBE 08-04-2010 11:43 PM

Picked it up from the paint shop. Looks good. They told me that there are 16 variations in the yellow!

The door chip is gone. And they were able to get the underside of the fascia where I curbed it at the coffee shop.

Last week I had a replacement FM module installed (under warranty) because my FM reception sucks. When the dealership pulled the head liner, they found that the antenna module has frayed wires (the culprit). Next week back to the dealer for a new antenna module. Fingers crossed, please. More to follow....

It's done! Going down to Illinois to go pick it up today after all the mods.
Actually,the bulk of the work was wrapped up on Tuesday and all they had to do yesterday was recharge the A/C,dyno,and road test.
Can not wait til later this morning to hear it and feel the extra HP and TQ.
