I like how you can tell that the air filter has gotten dirtier and dirtier as the stages have gone by :D

Sad part is, I clean that air filter bi-weekly with the K&N Filter cleaning kit.....I need to get a cover for it.

How about getting one of those pre-filter condom thingys? That should make it at least look cleaner for shows and such :)

Meh, your car isn't that great... :tardbang: :lol:

Yeah thats what I'm talking about. Right now I have two Perrin SRIs. The one thats in the car and one sitting here next to me. I'm going to just swap them for shows because its easier doing it that way. I still need to measure the filter and see if I can get the K&N Pre-filter in the proper size. Because its foam, its rounded and not cone like, so finding a perfect fit might be more difficult than it should be.

What would have been cool is to have a time lapse video showing the progression. Maybe I'll try that for my next car.

Wow, lucious was super sexy all black.

You know, the AVS would be more true to the original AAR spoiler style. Why'd you get rid of it?

Posted: Mon Jan 05, 2009 8:38 am
by LilSparkPlug
Didn't care for the AVS that much. I wanted to keep the SRT's style and mix it with the AAR. I love the SRT spoiler. And that AVS I sold back in 2005. I had one of the first ones. Now they are a dime a dozen....I'm glad I got rid of it.

Hoods laying around lol no. I have a winter hood (the CBD OEM CF one painted flat black thats on the car right now) and a summer one (the TruFiber Mini Cuda painted flat black thats sitting next to me right now). Wheels: I sold the Katanas 12/07, the stockers were borrowed. I currently have the Zinik's for summer and the steelies for winter. If all goes as planned I'll have a daily driver this year so I won't need the winter/summer stuff anymore.

No pink HIDS, I need to see, so 4300k in the retros for summer and 6000k in the stock headlights for winter.

Thanks for the comments/compliments guys :)

The Pink setup was SICK!! w/ polished IC piping and Pink couplers on a stone white SRT... :-k

CAM are you related by chance to the people that make Marzocchi forks, and other bike parts? Because you don't come across that last name every day...
