Love the drop, glad the install went smoothly!

**scheides** · 02-20-2011

Pics look great of the porting; when you isntall, snap a pic of the gasket up to the head to get an idea of what the sections that don't quite line up (gasket matched) really mean. I'm trying to remember if my head was fully gasket matched or how this port job would line up on my car.

Can you bolt/zip tie the TB up to the manifold and then flip the butterfly open (and get a pic)? This porting is awesome, I'm jonesin to get it done on my car

It went from a soccer mom's lancer with no tints, stock rims, and stock ride height to an aggressive evo with the tints, rims, and drop.

Edit --

It looks good, even the rain guards aren't an eye sore.

On your front fender behind your wheel... there is what appears to be a vent but is probably just aesthetics. Is that after market? Looks less like a plastic piece as your first picture illustrates and more like a paint job with a clear coat on the second picture..., looks good non the less.

Thanks for the comments.

That fender vent actually has some purpose although I'm not sure what it is exactly. The fender has 2 holes in it which the vent sits on. In the first picture, this is what the vent looks like except black in the GSR's cases (it's color matched on the MRs).

The fender vents I have on the car are carbon fiber from Rexpeed and look like this:

Kracka and I will definitely take pictures during the installs. As for your request on the IM/TB, I'll see what I can do.

Mondo's new coated parts from SPC in Arlington, TX are done!

PPI Extreme ported exhaust manifold

Cobb 3" downpipe

DSM_421 · 02-21-2011

Sexy downpipe!

rexspeed CF fender vent is better than the stock non painted piece for sure too.

I don't think that is too uncommon, especially on a piece AFTER the turbo.

Some people have had problems on their manifolds where the coating has flaked off from the inside due to a sub-par coat job and caused problems on the turbo.

**Halon** · 02-21-2011

Lookin good. I prefer all my parts coated in and out

It looks like they are even though we said not to. Kracka will have to reply since he has the parts.

**mlomker** · 02-21-2011

I have a set of the fender vents for this Spring as well. The GSR ones aren't much to look at.

Owned · 02-21-2011

The vent install needs some more attention imo. Good look on parts and drop btw.

Ok Scheides...I did the best I could with this. It's not perfect. It's not too great a picture, but it's what you wanted. Hopefully it's good enough!

**scheides** · 02-21-2011

Do I need to ask about the *pink* pencils? facepalm....

On the flip side, looks hawt! Nice smooth opening and transition ...hrm, stock is 59mm? area=2732 sq mm....this is 64mm, area=3215 sq mm which is a 17% increase in area...nice

*Sigh* If you must...

All those pencils must be like 10 years old. Mom keeps pens, pencils, etc in a cup on the microwave. They are my sister's. I always used mechanical pencils.

Your math looks about right to me!

**scheides** · 02-21-2011

Pink pencils and you just admitted to still living with your mom? Man points dude, man points...

Seriously though, when is this stuff going on?
