Okay so this is the engine now

The pettit intake is so damn ugly, cant wait till get my cf autoexe intake. Plans are polished feed elbow, polished uim, secondary intake pipe and tb, unsure on smic and unsure on radiator. CF battery cover and CF radiator cooling panel. Red vacuum lines,all new couplers and clamps. Since the paint is all dull i was thinking about sanding it down and polishing it, thought that would be pretty unique. Nice and simple, at 12psi and a streetport should be more than enough for a dd.

Tom knew someone here in town, works at the shop next to the Pontiac dealership. He painted Toms car and applied his sideskirts. I'll try to get a hold of Tom for a contact for you.

just a little tip. do not go for red vac hoses, thats to much red on a red car, and after a while it looks really nasty
black or blue looks much cleaner

Hey Pure,
Are you gonna stick with the stock throttle body elbow or go with a greddy one? As far as a smic, I got the M2 medium which I like very much, but I'm not sure how the fitment would be with the Autoexe intake. I think some people have had good luck with ebay intercoolers using the Pettit Duct, but again depending on how much room the intake takes up.

I can't wait to see the engine bay when it's done. I'm about to start polishing some parts of my engine bay as well.


Edit: Doh!... Should have seen you said Feed elbow

I still have the cf hood for sale, price is $600, no chips or cracks. Will have an authentic ad9 hood in two to three weeks. Will give you a 5% finders fee if your buyer purchases it.

Lots of updates this weekend, front bumper and headlights are going on.

Great, buyer is local too so no shipping. Will just want to see if it fits right with his set up. What are you going to do with the old bumper?

The burnout front bumper? That is for sale for $150 and is available now, I will throw in a cwest rear bumper for free if he wants it. The hood will be available in two to three weeks when my new hood comes in.

Local buyer is a huge convenience for me, hope this works out.

That is okay, as the hood wont be in till than anyways.

Yah I was, but the feed sides are just so clean looking, and if i were to get to sideskirts than I would want them molded in, which is a PITA. So the feed cf sides will stay.


Got the front bumper on, like I said someone sold me broken headlight covers so I am hoping he will refund my money. I really think the feed lens is going to make the difference, as the 99spec lights look out of place.

you've lost your signature look but your car looks so much better now w/ the FEED front than the burnout w/ rotary run lights.
