some mod pics

Hey guys, here are some new pics of my cars + the mods that me and my brother helped install, some are my uncle's shop and some are at home

I had to reinstall the K&N v.2 only to find out that the problem (which I posted on the issues forum) is caused by the pulley, which I have to get new pulley belts because the ones I got were the wrong size, so I reinstalled the stock pulleys and the problem is gone

here goes

I put a buncha foils to cover the intake from the engine bay, at least it runs good, even if it looks retarded

so you have a ground kit connected to your negative terminal and a voltage stabilizer to your positive? exactly what does the voltage stabilizer do? and have you had any problems with your car ever since those things have been installed?

no.....the voltage stabilizer is connected to both the positive and the negative

for what I can experience, a bit better throttle response, and I hope it would result in longer battery life

nice mods, does that foil really work? did your K&N intake not come with the heat shield or something?

the typhoon v2 does come with the heat shield, just not the top heat shield (idk, 305wankel sold me his, and I hope that he was being honest) anyhow, I swear to you the foil works, I swear on my car's life

looks like you're about to bake the filter. and god damn, that ground thing just looks ridiculous.

reminds me of an old article in sport compact car magazine when they made an intake out of a 2 liter soda bottle and dryer tube.

I actually like the wheels! Lowering springs should be your next purchase.
