Nice. I wish I had half the enthusiasm to keep my engine bay as clean as you do.

No i didnt polish the IC yet, maybe later. I was just content to get it installed for now.



Ok the story is..



As you guys may or may not know. I had a PFS smic which I sold for $600. Then I bought an older style greddy 3 row for $500.

After alot of debating I decided that I didnt want to mess with mounting the greddy. So Rikki introduced me to this guy who called his shop that was looking for a 3 row. We agreed to trade our IC set ups. He was to send me a m2 large w/ the duct and the pipes. I was sending him the 3 row with the pipes.

Well the guy ripped me off and only sent me the IC ( no duct or pipes). I hassled him for at least a month and a half to tell me that he ripped me off. He was and is a big chickenshit and didnt have the ***** to tell me that he shafted me. His name is Jesse. He posted here once looking for installation instructions for the IC. His screen name was JesseCo. or something. So never do business with him if you ever meet his sorry ***. He is a big ******* poser anyway and doesnt know **** about cars and it was very obvious everytime I spoke with him.



HEY JESSE, YOUR A PIECE OF **** AND YOU COULDN'T REBUILD A ******* PAPER AIRPLANE!! EAT A DICK, AND THOSE DIPSHITS IN DENVER ARE GONNA **** YOUR P.O.S. UP EVEN WORSE THAN IT ALREADY IS. I BET YOU NEVER BREAK A ******* 12.5 YOU'R A ******* JOKE. DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR AND SELL YOUR CAR.......OH YEA, BIG BOOSTING DONKEY DICK





Anyway So j9fd3s hooked me witha duct for $40, Rikki gave me one pipe and Ray Wilson sold me the other one for $75.

So I get the parts and go to install it and big shocker the duct doesnt fit with the new radiator and the stock cooling fans.****.

So I had to cut about the enrtie bottom of the duct off, trim 3" off the sides and re fiberglass the bottom back on.

After that I had to fabricate a alluminum duct to catch off the bottom of the IC duct to get the air in the nose. The one that was there to begin with got hacked up when I cut he duct up to fit it.



So two sliced knuckels, a scorched red back and two days later the bastard is in.



It fits like a champ now though I can even lay the hood prop down in it's latch and it doesnt even touch the duct.



Now Im jsut waiting on these intake pipes and I have to mount the ast, cause right now it's friggin zip tied
