eh, I have some pics I took during my install, here are a couple of them. It's all I've got on me at the moment. If you want a shot of something specific, lemme know, I'll try and nab it.

I have to say thank you to Esmeril! THANK YOU for making a good kit at a nice price and power level! I hear the X is locked, how does this get tuned?

yes the rebar will fit around it. it was an issue brought up when they first debuted the kit and they listened to the people here and kept it.

have to agree - few kits do this .
Don't like the air intake position - but don't see any other options ...

The bumper support still fits, however, the catch is that you need to file/grind down a couple of bungs on the side that faces to cooler because they will interfere. This is some heavy duty metal so it can be quite tough. Personally, I just forked it over to a machine shop that I was going to anyway and had them lop them off because my tools were just not up to that task.

... And then I ended taking it out anyway because I like the way it looks without the grill, also potentially saving a few pounds, since the kit adds weight too. (just trying to rationalize a purely cosmetic decision with other junk)

Another dyno is still in our sights. In the meantime we have been working on new videos, website updates, most importantly new product testing, and more. It has been exciting around here

I hope Esmeril doesn't stop posting... gives us some more tasty little treats! With kits like the Esmeril and BHR/MM at a great price it realy will put this car in a different league. I only wish someone could do a real side by side coparo of two different FI's for all to see.

We all know too well about that thread.... Yea what I would like to see is a side by side video as to how the all perform. Some are great power but way up high not to be seen in much everyday driving. Some down low and run out of air if you push it a bit. If we could just see how they work in a real world and not just dyno results. Also compared to a modern high po car. Ya know.
