Takeda Long Tube Intake, installed!

IDK how you could realistically do this without A) Dropping the bumper, and B) opening up the intake inlets with a dremel. Sure, you could squeeze them in, but they would be all contorted. It's all plastic that needs trimmed, so it's an easy job.

Unfortunately, I can't drive my car, because.....I put the rear up on jackstands and took the wheels off to drop off and have new tires mounted and balanced. We all do that, right? And they couldn't get to it today So, tomorrow by 10:00 AM.

And while I was at it, I painted my grille. I tried vinyl wrapping the chrome on the midnight grille. That wasn't happening. So I washed and sanded down the OE grille, cleaned it up, put 5 coats of primer on, and I'm on my 6th coat of gloss black. Clear coat tomorrow. IDK, I think it's actually coming out pretty good

Well this was kind of a pain, but when my dremel bit was staying on that part went smoothly. Believe it or not the clamps were my least favorite part. Took me about 4 hours.

Dont feel bad, thats how long it took to do my first time, also make sure your cold air intake does not rest on AC line which has 2 aluminum hoses, right below right side tube as it passes through the hole you had to open up.

Long story short, after 2 years my intake tube wore out 1 mm hole which leaked out the AC. Replacing it wasnt fun. I still have pic.

The green stuff you see was fluorescent leak tester, **** was expired, while I was looking for leak by spraying this stuff into AC line, gauge blew up and sprayed this expired **** allover my engine bay and me, stuff smelled worst than ****, took me long time to clean it up.

Thanks Bro. I'm running Niche Concave Machined Finish, Staggered set-up. 8.5 wrapped in 245/35/20 in the front and 10.5 255/35/20 (stretch so there's no rubbing) in the rear. I'm dropped on Eibach Pro-Kits, everything fits so perfectly, looks like I'm on coilovers.

Tonight replaced the left side valve cover/ spark plug gasket, it was in worst shape than the right. 4 hours including cleaning old engine oil build up around engine and valve cover.
I also cleaned my intake cones with K & N cleaner its drying now, and also cleaned MAF sensors, left it drying over night. ( it dries in like 10min but too tired to do anything else)
