Enginyr, the pics look great. Hey, I'm glad your going to do the plexi top with the neon lighting. Should look awesome. If you've seen my car pics, you know I love neon. Take lots of pics with the new top.

enginyr - thanks for the great pics. Very helpful. Looks like a nice piece, although the CAB looks a bit cheap looking.

enginyr,

Looks really nice.. Fine choice in colour to compliment your Spectra Blue GS.. How was the install of the Intake?? Any problems or was it very easy?? No check engine light??

Leo,

Is that group buy still in effect for the Intake+CAB for the GS and do you have an intake yet for the SC430??
If so drop me a PM please.. THANKS!

Ken

Do you use the old dragon filter or the new 2002 dragon filter?

Hp gains at all RPM. Kinda feels like when I first got the car.... Getting used to the extra horsepower.

Thanks...I'm surprised I haven't seen your car around Northridge. I live in Tarzana now, but I lived there for 3 years (Vincenes/Reseda). Hope to see you at the next meet.

It infact is "cheap". 1/16th" Sheet Aluminum is very thin and flimsy. At least they could have made it of thin Sheet metal.

I was thinking about Chrome plating it :eek: :eek:

Instal was actually not too bad considering I am a Mechanical Engineer. I would definitly give your self a full day to do it in. It took me 3 hours including a quick run to pep-boys for a nipple-coupler that WAS NOT INCLUDED. You wouldn't need the coupler if the tubing was 1 foot longer.

No check engine lights. Just remember to unplug the fuse to the ECU.

2002 Dragon Filter....I will post pics of it with the window in. Very impressive the way they designed it and chromed the plastic.

Well I finally got my intake installed. Had trouble with the box so I did not install it though. Anyone have a instruction set or write up on how to do it? I need help bad!!! Also the intake works great but sounds a little loud. Anything that I can do about this? Please help.
