Just recently replaced my dirty filter element with a limited edition RED filter. I think it looks good cause it matches the rest of the car now opposed to the yellow element the kit comes with. Also wrapped my AC line with thermal wrapping. My AC seems to run a little cooler inside now. I highly reccomend doing this mod.

Here's a link to the original thread:

I like the red filter

Nice clean engine bay. Your carbon fibre covers are nice too!

thanks for the comments. The install of the AC wrapping took 10 minutes to do. I just made a template first before cutting. If you do this I reccomend waiting atleast a few hours before your car cools down (if your engine is hot) because the heat will make you sweat. HAHAH

very clean...are you gonna get the ms front brace to match the rest of that carbon fiber?

XDEEDUBBX

i was thinking about that but im looking into getting the autoexe front and rear strut bars.

ECHO1

man, i wish i had a disposable income! all these parts with no money. well, at least money the mrs. will let me touch....how well does the autoexe red match the VR?

XDEEDUBBX

i don't have the best income i just don't eat for a couple of months..hahaha

as far as the matching, not to sure, i've only seen it on a white 8

Ware did you get that from? ive been looking for a decent filter/intake for a while.
And also how much did that set you back.

i am most interested in the thermal wrap. where did you get it, and what was it called. I am having no luck finding any here in ATL.

It's the HKS Racing Suction. It's been out for a while now. You can order it from their authorized dealers. Here's a link to their website. Just punch in your city and state and it will find you a local vendor.

Here's a link to my thread a while back when i installed it

And this is how it sounds like with the Legamax exhaust:

It's actually the same wrapping used on turbo's and exhaust manifolds. My buddy had some left over so he just gave it to me. Your local speed shop "should" have some.

Hi,

I just got a used HKS intake.. I mean RS. While the filter element is OK... I know it needs a good cleaning. However based on this post, I might just get a new one... Is it the 150 or 200 mm filter? Looking a blue but can't find it in the sites here in Northern California...

Any advice?

Thanks
Carlos

Carlos,

I made it real easy for ya! I went ahead and took some pix of the bag it came in and also the part number of the product. If you want the blue one you might have to call HKS directly and get the part number for that. Again, this can be ordered directly from any authorized HKS dealer. Hope this helps.

You are da Man!!

Thanks,
Carlos
