Like how much? I probably won't keep it and I want that other hood. I don't exactly have room to keep the ws6 hood lying around.

Wish I could tell ya man, car came like that off the dealership. All I do know is the shocks/struts are still the stock (decarbon?) orange ones. I'm assuming the springs were cut, but how much I couldn't tell ya. I love the ride height though. Does it look alright? Or when I finally get the actual set up should I go lower or higher?

Yeah It looks pretty sick. I contemplated doing the tail lights and/or fogs too but I like the fog lights... and the tails lol. I didn't want a stereotypical murdered out car, just wanted to get rid of the orange/red markers mainly because they ruined the flow. The 3rd brake light looks better black imo for the wing and the reverse... well that was a toss up. Idc either way :P.
I don't have any picturs with the lights on atm but I can take some tonight so you can see. I've never seen the reverse lights or 3rd brake light in person but I asked buddies and they said they show up fine. The turn signals on the other hand look MEAN. I mean usually they were that orange color but now it's a deep deep red and only in the center kind of. A co-worker of mine after the closing shift saw me hit my lights and his exact words were "Dude that looks evil." lol.

I finally got my car back from my mechanic, had a vacuum leak fixed that I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Also,insurance fixed my shifter because the tow truck driver messed it up, although I was kinda hoping the transmission would have been screwed up so I could get a performance built one and the insurance would basically pay for it

. Then I washed my car, it had greasy finger prints all over it. I'll post up pictures later. I still need to figure out where this weird electrical whine like noise is coming from, it only happens when I slightly put my foot on the gas, if I lay off it stops and if I push more it stops. It's kinda weird.

***SMWS6TA*** · 07-14-2011, 09:46 AM

where was the leak?

Also anybody know that if you polish the clear coat on FRC's will the vinyl lettering still stick to the paint? I'm almost done clearing them and not sure if I should polish or leave alone.

The gaskets weren't on totally right. I would imagine they wouldn't stick, because when you put vinyls on you are suppose to clean any dirt,wax, or grease off. You could polish it after the vinyl is on or clear coat over the vinyl and then polish it.

***SMWS6TA*** · 07-14-2011, 11:16 AM

which gaskets?

**TransAmX2** · 07-14-2011, 12:20 PM

Finally got her back on the road after another round of mods and 1-2 weeks of riding my ZX10r to and from work in 95+ humid weather and usually rain; LS6 intake, Catch Can mod (both painted gunmetal silver), PCV redone, UMI 3-point SFC, UMI Adj. Torque arm with DSL, an updated Frost Tune, Updated Knock sensors, repaced the fragile OPSU my fat fingers broke.....I think that's it

The intake gasket. Here's some pictures of it washed, sorry it is really sunny.

Purchased an AC Delco battery. The ugly green Interstate finally crapped out on me.

**Ant71130** · 07-15-2011, 05:55 AM

Believe someone wanted to see what it looked like with the lights on in a different thread so, just postin' these

Got my SLP lid and hi flow filter from Speed Inc today. Got it all installed, and wow...I could really tell a difference. Great mod for a little over a $100 (with the filter and shipping.) Also put a white "Trans Am" and bird logo on my rear panel...looks really nice with the arctic white paint. Coming soon, blue blackbird stripes.

**LSCyaL8R** · 07-15-2011, 02:21 PM

i didn't bother with any kind of fancy filter with my lid. just keep a clean one in there and it should be almost the same. I would recommend going to home depot and getting fernco coupling in place of the factory accordion bellows. cheaper than the SLP 60 dollar job and gets the same thing done.
