Heres the finished product. Looks awesome.

With the R2C intake i can tell the car is breathing much better. And oh man when you open the throttle it rattles my ear drums. Easy to install, besides one vacum hose i have to fix (since its a bit crimped). Anyways looks great, sounds great, it FEELS faster, but that could be placebo + ECU reset + how much louder the intake it.

Grounding kit, super easy to instal, i have never worked on a car engine before, took me about half an hour because of my noob status. i can tell that shifts seems smoother as well as idling. But that is probably the ecu reset. Ive noticed less throttle lag, and smoothing up/down shifts (7AT). looks awesome too!

Your grounding wires look amazing! Excellent craftsmanship. :biggthumpup:

lol at Black Betty :)

Looks good!

i checked, black betty makes his wires from pure gold, that being said they are a great deal!

Looks great man! Nice work for a noob. BB of course will compliment the looks. He counts on it. You picked a good color since it really stands out nicely.

Nice man, and a noob question, does grounding kits help if mines an AT? And i heard that if i have a new car, theres not much difference.. umm mind chiming in since you got it installed? Thanks.

^^Actually....arguably it only does something if your car is AT.

ive got 6000km on my g, and i can tell the shifts are smoother, the idle is smoother, and the DS manual shifting is much more responsive. Seems like throttle response is better too.

+1, I agree the craftsmanship is impeccable.

Love the R2C intakes great choice man,

I think im gonna get some polished titanium dress up bolts and a strut bar this week, then the engine bay will be completed (for now :))

Thanks for the info man


Nice... ok, i guess i will look into this soon. Thanks man... you make me wanna buy BB's grounding kit too haha

I've had my betty wires since like week one of owner ship. I remember the car did feel much better after install. Now after 6 months, I kinda forgot how oem shifts and car felt.

for sure, BB is a god among men :P

I always thought the grounding wires stuff was all hype? Sounds like you guys really like the BB stuff though. Hmm. Guess it cant hurt.

to the op >> you mentioned an ECU reset. Do you simply mean disconnecting the battery or are you talking about an ECU reflash/tune?
