TRD CAI [Group Buy]

[sportiyo]

for those that cant wait for the kit, heres some interesting bit that was stated in the menu

"The system will not affect your vehicle's normal driving characteristics in any way. the added power and torque will become evident during part-to full- throttle conditions"

"the system will exhibit an aggressive, throaty intake sound during part- to full- throttle conditions. you may also hear air being purged from the intake runners following engine shut down. this is caused by the less restricted intake channel and free - flow air filter and actually enhances the performance character of your vehicle"

it sound awsome! i cant wait to put this on and feel the difference

HAHA!

More like: "Emitting from under the bonnet will be a defeaning blast typical of a 16th-century Royal Trumpeteer"

Am I right? Am I right? ... yeah :D

seanious, right?

foose... u werent there to take it...

and fad is still coming

[Seano]

Yup sure did, picked them up on Monday, gave Scrolla his today and then spent a good part of the night installing it :)

Edited November 6, 2007 by Seanious

[BRU15]

how did u find installing in Seanious?

Hahah yeah xploshun im so happy that its finally almost here, im sooo impatient hey

Oh and does any one know if the kit comes with the 6.5mm vacuum hose needed to bloke off the spout on the intake? cos it wasnt supplied or something ( reading in other threads)?

[Seano]

install wasn't to bad bit my old man helped me. I highly recommend having a second person cause it took us about a 2 hours

Also we only blocked off one pipe (after the blue grommet), we re=used both VSVs and didn't need to block anything else off. If you take your time and do it properly you should be fine and you won't need any extra bits. Only things to note are the strut tower bracket needs to be bent forward and the brace for the intake pipe (the one that uses the bolt for your fuse box) needs to have the top bit hack sawed off.

Just take your time, and don't kill anything that you don't need to, and be mindful of remebering where everything goes and you'll be fine :)

2 people FTW!
