Update on my car! PICS!

So just found out that the brand new Tourqe Dampnder i just bought won't work for my engine mount so I guess i'll be using only the tranny mounts that i bought from TTR. I also got the 2.4 intake manifold and installed it. To be honest I like it. the pull up top deffinitely feels good. So here are you pics of my mods:

NMU & Lines in wirelooms




Shot tap



2.4 manifold



Fuel tap and all wires in wireloom



All switches



B&M and Window switch



Mounted bottle



Purge



Dash Hawk



LED tail lights

Oh and as for the Intake install. I found that the intake ports needed a little cleaning so to all that are running the laughing gas you might want to take your intake mani off to clean you ports. makes a worls of a difference with gas mileage, life of engine, throttle response, and probably more! I couldn't find my camera when i was doing it so i couldn't make a "how-to"....turns out my sis had it hiddne in her room. Install was very easy though. time consuming but easy.

Theres a yellow ss/sc lives down the street from me that got a nice surprise. I kept with him when he was stock. i believe he has a stage system now. and a 07 2.2l with a huge fart can and a aftermarket wing (yes, deffinite shame to the cobalts) got spanked....bad!

What size of a shot are you running? Did you hook the zex kit up with the TPS and window switch? I hooked my kit up in my old malibu with just a TPS. I dunno if you can do both though.

I'd like to know since I might be getting another shot for my car. I'd go with wet nitrous this time too.

I also found a lot of build up on the intake ports. Kinda freaked me out with only 25,000 miles. Guess a tear down at 100k might be worth it.

85 wet shot and yes you can use both TPS and window swtich. the NMU they provide is a TPS

engine also has a different sound now with the 2.4 intake mani. I think i like it. does't sound like a honda so its all good

thats okay you don't need that TD anyway, mounts are where its at to stop wheel hop.

now you just gotta paint that Zex NMU black and you'll be good.

what are your LTFT's and STFT's like on the Dashhawk now with this manifold? positive or negative numbers?
