Nice on the steering wheel and strut mod. For the strut, how were you able to put the cover back on under the bracket?

Your RC looks great! Nice mods. Did you notice any mpg gains from the Takeda?

Looks good! What size spacers are you running?

dychang174

For the struct the cover does not fit so my cousin cut the cover a little down and covered the cables as much as he could then started to duct tape everthing nicely........it does not cover completely like before but it covers most stuff and it is not water proof but i hope it wont be a problem in the future

just put the Takeda on today so i wont know till 2 weeks but ill post back........it does sound a lot louder......loudest intake ive ever heard on a car

spacers are 15mm front and 20mm back hubcentric spacers

ill take more pictures of the cover under the strut when i can but its nothing special just cut the plastic and wrap duct tape

I have Tanane springs waiting to go on with OEM wheels also, and am considering the same size spacers. Have you had any issues with the tires rubbing?

lexual_rc

With tanabe springs, your OEM wheel with spacers will not rub guaranteed. I have the exact same thing for my winter setup. Even with 20' vossens on the tanabe's and it still doesn't rub.

Your steering wheel looks pretty cool. Welcome and nice car!

Sounds good. Thanks! Can't wait to get the springs on!

for the MPG honestly i don't really notice much of a difference, but I do only drive like less than 5miles a day commute to work.......but i live in Houston, TX so a lot of highway driving to get around every where and in a tank i think the computer said i was getting around 22 or 23mpg

Car looks beautiful! Did you replace your radio *****? Doesn't look like the ugly silver plain ones but the NX ones. Where'd you get them if so?

Looks like you are running an amp wire from your battery....do you have a system installed...I see a factory head unit though. What setup is this?

You can buy and have added high low coverters to a factory sound system, in order to incorporate RCA inputs for amplifiers. If you just want to add a sub to your stock system etc., you don't HAVE to change your OEM head unit, but to optimize the best sound quality it's recommended. More frequency controls and high volt outputs with digital processors for better sound quality are some of the benefits of aftermarket head units.

It looks like he's running an 8 gauge power kit, so probably just a sub amp and not a 4 channel too.

Just to confirm dychang174, your car is not ML (Mark Levinson) equipped right? Based on the appearance of your radio *****. I want those...
