Default Truely my first upgrade on my '03 Z

Hey everybody,

Yesterday I truly put my first upgrade on my car. Even though I have Hotchkins Sway bars on the car, I did not put them on myself.

I put the Injen Cold Air Intake on myself yesterday. The removal of the stock intake and installing the Injen Cold Air Intake was not bad. The pain in the *** was the bumper. Well, it was the first time doing something like this and I want to learn about the car as much as I can.

Like it so far especially the sound. I'm going to see what happens when I do the Qualcomm RaceLegal Drags next week. If i have any issues I definitely will being searching the forum.

Later

Rember though you live in Georgia. When they say it's going to rain it rains. When they say it's going to Rain in San Diego it's not rain. It's sprinkles and all the news agencies call it storm watch 2007 lol.

I will watch out for that though

Any cold air intake faces the possibility of it. Hydrolock = bad **** happens when too much water gets in the intake
Just get a bypass valve and sleep well at night
