Mod update:
RK intake and mperformance pedals.
I know a bit of a weird combo, but modding can be impulsive. Speaking of impulse RK is currently running a ridiculous special on their intakes so I went for it. They shipped it 2nd day air to me, which was a welcomed surprise. Parts always take forever getting to Hawaii. Anyways the box arrived in one piece and everything was well packaged. I couldn't wait to install it so I put it on the same night it arrived. Hence the lack of complete pics. I do plan on adjusting the driver side some this weekend as I know I can do a better job on the install. My friend came over, beers were had, it got late, etc. I'm sure you guys know how that goes. So on to the pics:
Packaging plus filters:
The supplement components. I went with the water socks as I'm super paranoid about that stuff. Plus the black socks help to hide the filters behind the grills, which cleans ups the look imo.
Carbon Fiber
. Tubes of awesome and the quality is great:
Stock:
Gutted. I was surprised at just how easy it was to remove the kidneys and oem intakes. Maybe because the car is still new, but it went uncharacteristically smooth for me. One beer difficulty.
Maf transfer. Again I was surprised at just how easily the mafs went out and then into the RK tubes. In my limited experience maf housings have always been hit or miss intake wise so again a one beer difficulty.
Then it became night and the beer difficulty increased. The hardest part for me on the install was getting the elbows slid in and then fitting the tubes into the elbows. Of course I have no pictures of this. To busy being frustrated lol. It realy wasn't that bad now that I look at it, but night time is dark. That's my excuse anyways. I do have a couple pics of the cf tub going into the elbow.
This is looking through the opening next to the hood latches so forgive the quality. I wanted to give you guys an idea. All the oem plastic intake parts need to be yanked out in order to fir the RK stuff. This would be where the oem plastic elbow would be:
Another angle from below the RK tube:
This pic is of the elbow coming out into the kidney area. It already has the metal connecting tube and filter installed. I adjusted the filter clamp after so no worries:
Black socks are black:
Some final pics from the following day:
I'm using the usmillworks tow hook mount for those curious:
Here is one pic of the mperformance pedals. Install was easy and they match the oem dead pedal well imo.
That's it for now. KW is working on a replacement set of clubsports for me and I have an Eisenmann black series race with gloss 102's showing up on Friday. Hoping to get the noise boxes installed this Saturday.
