[TRDYUS]

Received mine today, Thank you for a great group buy! Looking forward to future deals.

Your time is gladly appreciated Xploshun cheers dude.

[XploShun]

you're welcome guys :D

now you guys have to organise the pick up...

and oncy.. you can take your time man (hahaha bet you wont tho).. coz i cant pick it up until this weekend.. or early next week..

btw.. anyone installed it yet???????

anyone took Bit Racer's advice? reckon we should :)

There is one bracket that holds the cai to a bolt near the end of the fuse box that needs a little section cut off of it. In my opinion, that bracket doesn't need to be fitted because the other brackets pretty much keep the cai in place. I think someone here experienced some wires shorting out because this bracket has sharp edges and cut through the wiring in that area.

A few other things to watch out for based on previous people's experience is to not tighten the clamps up too tight otherwise the rubber elbow will split. Buy some single sided adhesive foam tape from Jaycar and stick it down on the end of the cai tube where it rubs against the chassis ie. just above the pod filter so it doesn't wear a hole into the cai tube. The TRD Pod filter is quite long, it just fits on a pre face lift by a bit of force and pushing it up all the way up the tube and will rest on the fog light. I don't know whether face lift's white box will get in the way.

im gonna buy a can of those electronic contact cleaner to clean the MAF sensor as well... always wanted to do it... but didnt know how.. :P.. you guys should try it since we're installing the CAI anyway...

hey! i did a search

both :

PT901-17802-01

PTR05 - 12030-01

are for 03 Matrix XRS

so it should be right.

did you mean the filter is too big?... if its the case... i would rather try it with smaller K&N filter..

taking it to a mechanic... it'll cost more!

can anyone help phoboi?

hey fellas

i installed today !!

fkn its loud as ay ..... nice top end gain but its not as punchy as my SRI !!

it has made the transition of cams alot smoother and LIFT just keeps pulling its nice but would be better if u could have the same responce as an SRi

phoboi install the TRD pod its a b*tch ive bent all the mesh and sh*t on the pod but it fit JUST...oh and i managed to do it on my own took about 40 mins

i can help others but i dont have much time on my hands >> ill be wokring all weekend

so yeh i dunno what use wanna do ... should all meet up and can help each other ...

cheers

[oncy]

in reagrds to bitracers post

yes that bracket DONT USE IT

i mean u dont need it becoz its quite secure with out it

and definately put something between the chassis and the pipe coz it sits on the metal and it will rub and wear .... ive only taped a bit of cardbaord to the CAI atm but ill be going to by some sort of rubber or silicon to stop rubbing metal on metal

[anthoboi]

atm my mechanic does it for me cheap... plus im not willing to buy something extra for this when i already spent 300 odd $$$ for it :P

ive just got my TRD cai installed this morning by Bel Garage..ive got a facelift stivo and it was good...just a bit tight but its all good. The TRD pod filter can fit with no troubles..!

The intake sounds insane mann! love it!!! much more grunt and screams alot louder.

anyways yeah...it could be done on a face-lifted stivo without cutting or anything. =]
