He guy's
Today did some work on the FX again.
I've installed the 5/16 plenum spacer.....it really is a good bang for the buck.
Been revving it a bit on the road and it pulls better then before.
Together with the Takeda intake and Invidia exhaust it makes a great sound too.
Now, it does say in the instructions that the throttle body reset is not really required but is it good to do this anyway or doesn't make any difference?
As in the instructions i had the negative side of the battery disconnected during the install so maybe it's back to basic settings anyway?
I do not have any lights burning in the gauge cluster so the ECM doesn't see any trouble.
Just curious.
Also yesterday i got a wheel alignment done, what a difference.
This guy is really pro with all laser equipment etc. and set it at a more direct and sporty driving style, also adjusted the rears and the car handles much better then before.
He told me the tyres will wear a bit faster but that's the price you pay he said.
Monday i need to go back to work for 3 weeks but when i will come home i will get the front rotors re-machined and install my Ferodo brake pads and get the wheels balanced and when that is done i guess the car will drive perfectly again.
Lots of time and money spent but the improvement is worth it!!!!!!
Oh yeah, almost forgot the sport tail lights installed today as well :smile (2):
