so i went out and did the bambi mod, wow is the light a big difference, and then i did the free intake mod, hacked up the housing and noticed a good difference between old and new...

sorry for the darkness, the flash wasnt working due to a low battery

using a drummel take a cut off wheel, and cut a U shape from above the pegs that hold it in about a inch away from the clamp, then leave a small section on the bottom for the peg supports...thats it, its a air box mod.

bambi mod:

Disconnect the battery.

In the kick panel on the passenger side, locate the center top relay, i think its 202 but i am prob. wrong. its the one with that jumper wire coming out

Get a female blade connector, crimp it to a piece of 18g wire and bend back the male blade at the top right if you looking at it above...

Take some of the plastic out of the fuse box around the relay to make room for the female clip.

Ground out the wire on the body.

Reconnect battery and enjoy.

ty there are a few things that i am going to try and finish tomorrow, banged out a oil change and stuff today...painted a few things, i got this idea from the famed Paul Byrd (sorry if i missed the last name's spelling) and his cobra, sick build btw if you get the chance catch it on corral.net, but anyways i figure its better to do this...so people can check it and go oo cool

well i got my kit today, i started painting it, for theme and for corrosion prevention

as i live in socal now but i will be moving back to boston eventually, and i think its best to protect things anyways....

its a 3 inch single in to 2.25 dual out cat back with a turbo muffler, its not a bad kit, im painting tonight and if i can, then i will be tossing it on tomorrow....depends on if i can get a lift or not, i hate working on my back..

anyways heres a few pics to hold you guys over until tomorrow...
