Wow, the HR really has 40hp+ on the DE? I thought it was...

287hp and 306hp
274tq and 268tq

My calculator says... HR has +18hp and -6tq

And cant 18hp be made with i/h/e, new plenum and spacer etc.

 

Great ride, congrats and welcome from Ontario Canada.

I got my spacer installed. it was fairly straight forward, accept the 2 "guide bolts" on the left and right side once I installed the spacer there was no tread, so they have no nuts on them. seems to be 100% fine, no CEL, smooth and quiet idle =)

Is the car supposta sound "meaner" or louder? It honestly sounds the same to me, actually its quieter now. And what RPM's should I feel an increase in?





I saw a white S2000 with some mexican teenager in it on my test drive after installing it, was tempted to give him a go =P

 

Usually mid to high rpm "suppose" to notice a pick up.

 

I have noticed my Z doesnt really "hit hard" until 3k+ but up until 3k it feels very "meh" and then 3rd gear and up it seems to kick harder.

My plenum was pretty dirty inside, I didnt know what to clean it with, I wish I had though it was the perfect time to do it, oh well.

 

Paper towels
Put a catch can on.

 

How much is a good catch can?

 

You can make one for 20$

 

But will it LOOK like I made it for 20 bux lol I saw a really nice one online for $75 its chrome NRG is the brand

 

Good looking car!

 

Im so freaking pissed. I went to the car wash today and the stupid ***** in front of me pressed her brakes or something and I was like "why isnt this chick moving?" and sure enough the little track thats moving our cars makes me bump into her dumb *** and she starts honking. Now I have 3 1/2 inch scratches on my front bumper and I had to order some touch up paint online.

Women drivers man. Who presses their brakes in a car wash?

 

Rubbing compound.

 

why are you going through a car wash? hand wash is the best, and least abrasive to your paint

 

I dont think the rubbing compound will help it went through the paint and clear coat, the black plastic is exposed.

Im gonna hit the area with some compound, then the touch up paint then let it sit for a day and then hit it with a buff/was the next day. My front bumper has rock chips and scratches etc anyways its an 11 year old car lol

 

Tidy looking car, especially for the year. Welcome to the forum.
