Installing new parts, ordered more :)

[M-Ten]

Getting my UMI SFC's welded in tomorrow at 830am and I just ordered a Tru Fiber WS6 hood, SLP Lid, and FTRA kit.. can't wait for them to arrive! I'm thinking I'll do exhaust after this...

[t-rock]

tru fiber ws6 hood? how much did that cost?

[M-Ten]

i got it for like $585.. free shipping on the hood. I was gonna order the glasstek when i called the guy to ask him about it, he said he recommends this one instead. Plus for $585 shipped it's not bad..

How much are you paying to have the SFC's welded on?

[M-Ten]

oh god.. about the sfc's.. been running ALL over today.. the place i was supposed to go at 830, didn't even have the equipment they told me they had.. then i've been running all over the city for the last 3 1/2 hours trying to get prices on welding them on..

All of them were outrageously high so I'm going to the place that welded my dads cam on his SHO... a place called fordspeed, they're gonna do it for $200.

[99DROPTOPZ]

$200 is still a lot I didn't think it was that much. Good luck on that! Keep us posted on how it turns out.

[M-Ten]

yeah well i just called my exhuast guy.. gonna stop by there in an hour and see if he can do it or not.. hopefully for less than $100.. i know 200 is a lot... i'll let you know though

[ls1blackbeauty98]

im so jealous!
im making a thread when i get my parts!
good luck and ur mods sound good!

[M-Ten]

yea well unfortunately the exhaust guy can't do it, his welder isn't powerful enough.. so it's gonna cost me $200 to get them tomorrow... it better be worth it

blackbeauty your car is all stock now?

[M-Ten]

ahh, just got them welded in finally!! cost me $200 but it was worth it.. the car feels so much more solid than it did before.. i could feel it twist and bend when i would accelerate fast but now there is none of that.. feels like the car is one single unit now.. not a bunch of different things going different ways.. hard to explain but it's a great item.. the guy did a great job putting them on too..

[M-Ten]

oh also my SLP lid should arrive tomorrow according to the email that LMPerformance sent me.. I hope it does that will be my first HP mod yet.

[M-Ten]

ok just got done puttin on the SLP lid that came today... pain in the ass to get it on.. took about an hour and a half.. the little plug you put in the side of the airbox was the first problem.. would NOT go in and we had to trim it down a little bit to get it in...

Then the MAF was near impossible to get into the new lid... took about 45 mins of twisting / pushing and banging with a bigg hammer and a 2x4 for us to finally get it in right..

After all the troubles, it finally got in. it does fit nice and snug now and has no problems staying down.. didn't really get to test it out because it started raining right when we finished installing it, but i'll test it out thoroughly tomorrow and let you guys know

Had the same problem with mine just a few minutes with a blow dryer and it just slid in with a little push

[M-Ten]

heh even if i did have a hair dryer i wouldn't have thought of that... just got a 2x4 and a hammer and banged on it in diff ways for a LONG time..

i hope i'm never gonna have to take out the MAF for some reason, idk how i'm gonna do it.

[TempleU_WS6]

Haha, yeah i had the same problem with mine but not that bad. The part that took the longest was when i opened the package and the rubber piece rolled down my friends driveway and we couldnt find it for about 5 minutes

[M-Ten]

lol i wish that woulda been my biggest problem... i didn't think i was even going to be able to get it in.. was ridiculous.

[third_shift|studios]

are you painting the hood, please say yes

[M-Ten]

lol yes of course... got a guy who's gonna do it for around $250

[bigboykilroy]

I put on the UMI Weld In SFC also. Very nice completely happy with them.

[M-Ten]

yeah i like them... how much did you pay to get them installed?
