    Its Finally Done!!!

    We finished the Injen CAI today!!! It was well worth it! All the dirt in the eyes, dirt in the nails, blood on the hands and nails up the , we did it!

    The entire install took 4hrs. We did not have to take off the bumper or wheel well. Yea! With little hands it can be done!!! ;)

    Today was the most beautiful day!:sunsmile:

    We did some fabrication to the styrofome, we cut out a chunk of it so the intake filter could fit and then had to cut it and put it back in to protect the intake filter from water exposure.

    All in all my partner in crime (Jennifer in the picture) and I had a great time. Did I mention we are both GIRLS??? YES GIRLS ARE VERY CAPABLE OF MODIFYING CARS!!!

    Thanks Joe and Rick for the encouragement!!!

    Looks good! Be careful of your MAF sticking straight up like that. I had mine that way and it was poking a small indention in the hood insulation.
    We (me and Rugs) turned it 180 degrees and put it on the bottom.

    Hood up at the next meeting!

    Way to go!
    It's amazing you didn't have to remove the Bumper or Inner Fender....Like you said, must be the small hands...
    when you say you put the foam back in front of the filter to protect it from water damage. I hope you didn't block off too much incoming air. That's partially how the cold air intake works. Being exposed to cool incoming air, kinda like a Ram-Air effect. It's probably fine...
    I'll be sure to check it out at the meet...Nice Work...

    OH Chops, we did notice that before we shut the hood. The thing is, if you look at the diagram pictures it shows it like that. We loosened it and turned it 45degrees to the left. So its clear now. Good eyes Chops. Yes siree! HOODS UP!!!

    Yea I had a scary moment there thinking about hydrolocking. That's why we put the styrofoam in front of it. It can be removed tho. It would be hard. I think its cool, b/c the cover underneath protects it from big splash ups.

    Looks like you and your helper (w/the movie star looks) did a stellar job. Can you sense a difference in performance? Can you hear the intake vacuum when you get on it? GOOD JOB!

    Thanks Jazz! I can feel some difference, the sound diffrence is incredible. At 5k rpms the thing screams!!! Best $250 I've spent. I found it a few dollars cheaper but I ordered it from my guy and he got it to me in two days versus a week. Oh I know the mod gods will be inspecting my work. I hope I get an A+.

    Britt-I was taking the pictures. Plus, it wasn't a great hair day for me. There are pictures of me somewhere on this site.

    One thing to be careful about when working on your engine ( I noticed you friend leaning over the side), Make sure that you are not wearing a belt. I know someone who scratched the out of their car doing that. They sell mechanics mats for protection also.

    Thumbs up About installing britt's intake

    For everyone who doesn't know me I'm cicklet's partner in crime. Well I was wearing sweat pants while working on the car so no need to worry about belts scratching the paint. Also, britt actually did about half the work so I can't take credit for it all. Yes it was a success and I know she is happy to have it installed and I was just gald to not have to remove the bumper or the wheel well to get it in. Also it was a pleasure to work on the G because all I have ever worked on are honda, mitsubishi, and toyota. Well I look forward to meeting all of you on the 21st.
