I learned that phrase when I was in 5th grade. That's the only thing I know how to say in Spanish!

Spanish is supposed to be a romantic language, go up to a random chick, say it, and watch her panties drop/drip (which ever you prefer).

I got kicked out of Spanish the first day of High School. I had a friend who was fluent and he was lounging around in the back listening to music with the hidden speaker he had in his backpack. I was laughing at him arguing with the teacher about turning it off and we both ended up getting kicked out of class.

Talked to my counselor and ended up taking some floral class instead (it counted as foreign art credit) where I had to make floral arrangements and deliver them to girls around campus. I say it was a win/win.

Ukrainian was my first language. I had a similar issue in my Ukrainian HS classes, counsellor ended up giving me 2 years credit and I didn't have to do anything.

This is actually exactly why I came over here. I was on g35driver and trying to tell people I'm disappointed in this mod. I got a CEL cuz I cleaned my TB running it with no MAF , so I had to reset. CEL is gone, but the power they advertise is just not there. I felt more power increase from my last plug change. It sounds super sexy now tho. Like really exotic. Engine seems smoother, cabin is quieter, but more power?...I dunno.

I know I gotta wait 100 miles for it to feel like it should cuz the computer is relearning, but I'm at 70mi now and still complaining (installed it yesterday). Hoping for a magic trick at that 100mi mark.

Other intake/exhaust mods: magnaflow muffler, resonator delete, z-tube, k&n panel filer and of course now the md spacer.

people seem to lay it out over and over again. Instead of either listening, or leaving; they fight it.
It'd be like if I had a hole in my block, and I asked how to fix it and how much it'd cost. Then getting mad at you that you gave me the answer I asked for.

How are you guys having so much problems? It's a simple job. You don't have to disconnect any sensors or anything. You just remove the strut bar, remove engine cover, remove bolts around plenum, take the spacer and gasket and shove that b!tch underneath there making sure it's lined up. Put everything back how it was.

Why the hell are you messing with the throttle body and MAF for? You don't need to touch any of that stuff. I had no CEL and after about 25 miles of driving I felt the torque in the low end. You guys did too much extra ****. That's why you dun goofed.
