My Fahrenheit Build Thread

[glifahrenheitcameron]

You may find the spacer very annoying. I know when I hear a car with one it is pretty annoying. It makes a hiss every time you touch the gas essentially. I had one and never installed it. So happy I didn't. It also adds no positive gains.

If its too bad then ill just take it back off, thanks for the tip

No problem. I heard one on a CC at a BBQ a couple weeks ago and I wanted to punch myself in the d*ck.

Adding an intake alone will give you the shhhhh noise, without doing a spacer. Doing the spacer allows the air go atmospheric, and doesn't recirculate like do system was designed to do.

Yeah i know that, the noise doesnt bother me at all currently with the intake, but likr i said ill remove the spacer if its too annoying. And i know, it doesnt let all of the air go atmosphere though so its not 100% bad lol

well i got tired of waiting for the boost tap clip to come in the mail, so i started to install the dv spacer, and as soon as i got the old dv unscrewed, mail came and so did the clip, so perfect timing =) got the dv, spacer, and boost tap installed...everything zip tied down and blah blah. the bsh pcv cap doesnt fit the end of the boost tap good at all but i managed to get it held on for now. dont really wanna do any grinding, so does anyone feel like posting a link for a cap that will fit?






coilovers hopefully going in on sunday, having a friend come over with a case or 2 of

[Ferd Burfel]

Progress is looking good man. And I'll be in Ocean Isle next month, so maybe we can have lunch somewhere and talk cars for a few minutes.

[NmyGLi_06]

Just by sliding the the cap on it will wiggle, you got to use ALOT of force to get it over the lip, once it is over, hold it in very tightly and screw down the alien screws, 1 at a time, equally all the way around. You can also use a rubber hammer to tap it on, just do it CAREFULLY! It's a pita to get it over that lip. If it slides over that lip with ease, check and make sure there is an O Ring inside the cap

well the coilover install was a fail, could not for the life of me get the bottom bolt off the rear shocks, just gonna find someone to do it. prolly shootin for black forest industries. if i get enough time ill go and do that this week.

tried to do the brakes today...didnt realize u need a special tool to do that
so im going tuesday to get that done, along with spark plugs.

the only successful thing ive done was replace the cabin air filter

Yeah the brakes are a nightmare, I'm the same way I just let someone else do them... As for the spare plugs, those are pretty easy. Make sure to get iridium spark plugs and gap them to .032. Be very careful with them because the prob is VERY fragile. You can go to autozone to get a spark plug removal socket and an extension and then you're golden. Just unplug the coil packs, pry them up and off and then start changing the plugs. When you tighten them, just do it hand tight, don't over tighten. I had never done plugs before till 2 weeks ago and I was surprised to how easy it was

well since im taking it somewhere to get the brakes done, i might as well get the guy to do the spark plugs as well, i know the guy so he shouldnt charge any extra. and since he'll be taking the wheels off anyways to change the brakes, might as well get him to rotate the tires front to back

and yeah i got ngk iridium spark plugs

ill have some pics posted throughout the week.....i need to wait about 200 miles after getting the coilovers to get an alignment because the springs need to settle right?

In a sense, yes... Make sure that it is the height you want and then go get an alignment. Make sure everything is all dialed in.

I run Denso iridium in mine, they are a well known plug too. This is my second set and they still run strong, but i have heard ngk is better but both very comparable to each other

Autozone and pep boys sell them so if you have them they should carry them...
