TRD CAI Install and Photoshoot

[MT]

Evening All,

bADbOYz and myself decided that it was about time that rob finally modified his car, so i went over and helped him install the CAI. Once we were done, we couldnt help but take a few pics.

Enjoy!!

the front lip is sitting in the workshop waiting for me to get off my a$$, sand it down, fill it in a little and send it off to get painted. along with the eyelids and front grille.

I'm certainly holding up my end of that bargain! FTW!

Looking good boys. You guys are JDMing to the max. Rob I think you should make friends with Alan and get a strutbrace now.

Also it's interesting to see the design differences between CAI's, in partiulcar the giant elbow in the AEM. Though it didn't seem to impede Dylan's 14.3 :P

*** I'd rather perform a wisdom tooth extraction on myself than clean an engine bay.

It'd just get dirty again within days as well.

I still feel bad about the dog Mick. Poor fella :(

Canberra also takes the cake for the toughest water restrictions over the longest period of time :P

besides... whats the point in cleaning the engine bay? it'll just get dirty again

well I guess the same goes for the exterior,interior and underbody.

But then again clean cars sell easier too.....

[xoom]

looking good fellas ....... got a tear in my eye ..... my ex-exhaust and my ex-cai ...... the memories .... hahahahahahahaha

[skriblez]

HIJACKED! sorry

While you guys we're installing your CAI's we at the same time we're doing door-sills, and just like us, we couldnt resist posing :)

What is that? is that a sportivo badge on the grill?

We didnt even get any fotos of our newly installed sills haha

Not trying to sound like an a$$ here, but perhaps making your own thread would have been suffice.

in that last pic, you should have a rubber mount thats threaded both ends, one screws into the car and the other has a washer/nut on it. It holds the CAI in place and takes the strain off the rubber throttle blody join...

edit found a pic.

edit #2 found a pic of the mounts.
