Any issues with powdercoating these? I have heard that it is a bad idea before but would love a gloss black one to match my plenum/valve cover.Quote:

how you tried putting anything over microphone hole to keep the sound from clipping? I heard a band-aid works well to kill wind noise.
Guessing this is actually referred to me. Yea, does the job, lol. Handbrake handle slips over and is secured with allen set screws. It's for an EVO, was a gift at MOD, as was that oil temp gauge that replaces the drain plug.Quote:

I started it last night, tuning tonight.
drove the car today again after switching the the evo 9 bov. Part throttle driveability seems improved. I keep expecting the car to stutter, not idle right, etc, and instead it runs fine.
Going to take a while to stop waiting for the thing to blow up or die. 50 miles on the rebuild
Go Forest, Go :Clap:Quote:

And then drop in the half lowered assembly and your done! Tricky, but not impossible with a lil patience, it fit a lot easier than i thought it was going to
I didn't have any problems doing them.. what did you hear? I just made sure to use heat tape so I didn't get powder where it would cause issues.Quote:
