I will tell you that the non R/t NGC gives me about 4.2-ish degrees of adjustment retard to advance. Past that its impossible to start dependably and will throw limp mode sporadically. within 2.1- and 2.1+ Im fine and you can definitely be able to feel the powerband move within .5 a degree. Yours however with the R/t ECM might have slightly more breathing room as the ECM is meant to handle and pull more timing then the non R/ts.

Either way you made a wise purchase

Yeah I'm kinda hoping for just a little lope but oh well if it doesn't! Think ill wait till after auto school to start messing with advancing and retarding the timing and all that good stuff lol. Anyways though did this tonight!
Here's the wiper cowl (no screen yet) also somehow grabbed the semi gloss by accident oh well I love it!!

Another pic of my new found love

Already had this planned out

And what I did for the majority of the night, mom and dad's floor!

Enjoy!!!

Got tons of work done today worked pretty much steady from 7 to 6. tranny out, water pump changed new cam in now I need parts before I can finish! Damnnnnn... Lol broke the tensioner for timing belt and the throw out bearing I got was missing a tab to hold it in place so I'm gonna see if the stealer ship will exchange it!? Anyways here's the pics!!!

No tranny in there and a engine crane makes for an easy and much safer job!!!

Belt looked nearly brand new and water pump was perfect! But better safe than sorry eh?? Cam install was super easy!! Get parts this week and finish up the car next weekend! Enjoy guys!

I know that you have done more important things but the gloss on the cowl looks great- should have come factory like that.

You'd think they would make them a little thicker or something!?! The parts guy said he'd try to get warranty for me if not I guess I'll have to fork out another 75$ good thing I kept the parts car too cause I'm not paying 243$ for a timing belt tensioner unless I really have too!! I'm gonna steal the one outa the parts car engine it's already out of the car so it'll be simple to snatch up!!

More pics of some things!

Intake mani

Obx mega flow filter. Didn't like the screen idea on the end of the come so I silicone'd it and it said ou don't have to oil but I oiled it with k&n filter oil. So I guess it's not really "megaflow" anymore lol

Half shaft mod (need a 1gn throttle plate still but the plastic 2gn will work fine)

Fuse box cover

And lastly yes please ill take one of these! Lol I wish!!

Once again enjoy guys and gals!

some carbon fibre vinyl work i just did pretty proud of it for my first time it was alot easier than i thought!

clear coat is drying on the other peices ill post up installed pics tomorrow. and heres something else im working on its a rc drift car just a cheapy but its a lancer evo ( my next car lol i wish) im deciding on a color for it right now but so far ive primed it and and nightshaded the head/taillights. im gonna carbon fibre the trunk, roof and hood then maybe rally it up with some decals or something. anyways though you can probably tell im bored its to snowy/ wet to drive my car, and im just waiting to move into my new house on may 1st, cant spend money on the car anymore life is pretty rough lol

Yellow04r/t · Post by **Yellow04r/t** » Mon Apr 15, 2013 11:26 pm

had these for a while never got around to putting it on looks pretty cool i think put one on each side one in the front and one in the wiper cowl ( wires to short to reach the rear and i didnt feel like splicing them)

also made some eyelids, they look alright but could be better.

here comes the first part of 5...

next up comes repair/ buy a new factory rear bumper, then a factory front bumper, then a lip kit followed with lowering springs/coil overs down the road and take off the srt wing (maybe) after its lowered!! super pumped the r/t should look sick!!!!
Here are some pics of the busted up rear I'm trying to fix

And here's what hoping to end up looking like but rocking yellow and black instead

maybe not as low though lol
