What size is the blue coupler that connects from the the z-tube to the air filter? Also what size are the clamps that's holds it together. Currently in Bangkok and found a shopping mall with all car accessories and found these Samco hoses but just don't know the sizes.

Should be 3 inch, or about 70-80mm couplers!

So subtle and clean.

What did you do for the hood close sensor? Just unplug and good to go?
Where did you get the rubber gasket coming out of the battery box? Yours is not like everyone else

it plugs into the oem ecu. Since I have a CF I can open it without the car being unlocked and cause the alarm to activate.

How do you guys get your upper plenum so clean?

I'm finally looking into giving the engine some love. Already ordered the MREV2 and 5/16.

I'm looking to swap out my strut bar as well as bolts around the engine. I'd like to get the plenum polished, but I'd rather have a new strut bar and maybe a rare jdm harness cover first. Going to be searching for a titanium ARC strut bar, probably pretty hard to find now.
