What a long morning. The other day I got a few things from LMR. Man I love that place, I don’t shop anywhere else really.
The defroster vents went in easily and look good
The cai was a nightmare. Everything that could go wrong did. The coupler from the tb to the cai was too small for my 75mm tb so I had to use one I had lying around. At first I couldn’t get the maf wires through the fender. The plastic push pin for the fender liner wouldn’t come off so I pulled the liner around it without breaking anything. I had to pretty much use one hand to hold the air filter up and tighten the clamp. I got a nice paper cut on my shin lol. And I scratched up the intake while moving it around the fender. Geez.
Then I installed the tune. Its only a canned tune but I was very impressed with the results. I already had a tb and plenum and the intake had the silencer removed so I wasn’t expecting much but I could feel a difference in throttle response and power throughout the rpms. With the ac on it felt great and the drop in rpms when shifting into 5th wasn’t like before. I’m impressed. I only got it because it saved me money on the tuner and intake because I got the combo and I’ll eventually need it for when I coyote swap the car.
Now for the JLT intake. I always thought it looked cool but I’ve been in the 2v world for years and know cold air intakes aren’t worth anything except for sound and looks. On asthetics alone the JLT looks like crap in person. Maybe with some tire shine it’ll look better. The heat shield is made out of thin plastic and looks cheesy. Overall its just not what I expected. If it was 150 or less I’d buy it again but at its current price definitely not.
Also I’ve been doing some touch up painting on spots that have gotten bad like the side scoops and random paint ships. Even for a rattle can I think it looks pretty good. What do you guys think?
