re: Huh? this is like a movie of the week ...OP disappeared - like a show does during the long commercial break...

re: sig - that came up after another thread discussion on what would shift faster and be better for 1/4 mile on an FI car. There was someone saying they cold outshift any AT...

..It's been a while...I SHOULD change it though...thanks for pointing it out...DUDE!!

 

ahh ok.

well i'm a lazy motherfuccer plus since i'm a girl, no one ever thought it would be useful to teach me how to drive stick. AT ftw!

 

over protective father, huh?

 

hahah.....while i know what you mean, actually no.....not at all.

 

Wow - almost worried...what happened to the OP????

 

im telling you....his car blew up. or maybe the swamp thing ate him.

 

He ate too many hot dogs...

 

He got sucked into that vacuum leak ....... HE FOUND IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yayyyyyy !!!!!

 

nah hes still alive. I installed the spacer. The car ran like crap for the first day and it settled out. I also installed a nismo cold air intake. The intake was real close to the strut bar but I figured it would be fine. Guess not. The op is now looking to remove the spacer in exchange for the stock set up. So for those of you looking for a spacer hit him up. later mike

 

Sounds like install didn't go well...no real reason to remove the performance parts...re-install better? Adjust the bar? Reset the ECU?

did you use the spacers for the strut bar that came with the plenum spacer?

 

Nah no spacers op bought it from a g35 (no strut bar). So I might just throw wahsers under the strut bar.

 

yeah uhh.....i'm not sure how you fit the strut bar back on over the upper plenum without the spacers to begin with. it doesn't fit.

 

I feel your pain, I did everything myself to avoid friendly errors. Even though I broke a bolt, I was able to put everything back together and now I can't be even more happier. Maybe it's the MAF, I would check if it looks normal, I remember being very cautious with the MAF, since it is so important to the air intake.

 

i didnt get sucked in yet. Im gonna remove the strut and see what happends, if that doent fix it ill check for the leak. Well i guess you live and learn, btw mikes good with this **** so i dont think its a leak.....ANd if that doent fix it ill be selling locally for 100.00. i ll keep u updated..

 

Finally,,The car runs freaking sick now... No vibration no anything. It was the strut that was rubbing against the plenum i mean you could actually see the marks on the strut from the grind. ANd again i give mike mad props.. .ANd thanks to all that gave input and help me fix this simple but frickin annoying problem, that sounded like a riced out civic.

 

I've got a thought...time to close thread?

 

NO! i must be able to hijack threads at will!!!!

 

Hahahahahahahha

Dude!!!

 

what man?!
