LoL your correct . I will change my comment to "I will try not to buy anymore mods" now I don't look like I have a real mod buying problem.

Dam I just thought of a way to raise more mod. money for Spike III. Just like the places for drug & alcohol rehabilation . I could start one for mod addiction.

Are you going to have them painted the same color as the car? And the throttle body are you going to keep yours and but a new one or swap yours out?

What kind of catch can? I would also get the TB paint matched, it has a clean look.

I guess I have to add one someday finally. I had one before and it was great, then I bought a Rx stage II and installed it once I put my sc on. My car lost a crap load of power for some reason. MikeSS also had a similar problem with his, his check valve went and his car wasn't running right. I never would of believed a catch can, could throw off a tune like it did. But before I had my tune and mods, I added my first catch can and it was great.

I wonder if it only effects cars with aftermarket tunes on the car.

most likely will have them painted to match. there is a core charge on the TB so will most likely send mine back to them.

Apex has a new catch can for the v6 if they ever get the brackets finished...otherwise i'll go with the Elite one since it can be opened and cleaned out. no plans on getting a tune anytime soon but exhaust is another mod that i am in need of doing.

The apex catch can is real nice I too am waiting on them making a bracket for the v6 so I can swap out my Rx one.

Yup! I ended up removing the check valve and installed a new NPT fitting in its place!

A buddy of mine I met on here. Hooked me up with a company that made me a custome pulley (needed a certain size). It came out great and was about 1/3 the price other people quoted me at.

If anyone ever needs pulleys made. Please let me know.

The guy sent me a quick pic, before it gets sent out for its black finish.

[Ron_Robinson1]

Oh side note, just picked up today.

Just a little nip and tuck, nothing to worry about should run cooler if that gives you any indication
