pretty sweet ride you got there haha. and congrats on your P's! sucks that you cant drive yet though. I drove at least about 200kms on the day after i got mine :D but im not sure if thats a CAI, its sitting in the engine compartment where the stock airbox usually is. the air wouldnt really be cold with the pod sitting there

So you would call that a pod, not an intake? I'm pretty sure it is, i'm no pro at this kind of stuff though so don't doubt me. I removed the old stock air intake which was just a normal k&n no pod on it, and added the pipe to it? So if its not a CAI what would you call it then haha?

Update; Sprayed my calipers black and installed my cold air intake! SRI

1. Seeing as my car is on stands I decided take the opportunity to spray the calipers black, as they were faded orange and looked out of shape. Took me around 3-4 hours with sanding them down and then using some paint stripper to get the finaly parts off, Had to use god damn ear budds to get into the hard places. Was a prick to get rid of the last hard to get too spots. Finaly got to spraying them and masking it all up, let it drive over night and then added some gloss to it the next day.

2. My brother decided he would buy me a CAI for my 18th , Seen it at the front door when i woke up and had nothing better to do but install it. The cars still on stands as they wheels are getting resprayed and are taking forever Opened the box and started to install it, was pretty straight forward but as i'm kind of a noobie with this i couldn't tell if the sound coming from the intake was the way it was suppose to sound ( dumb of me but i really had no clue ) So i called up a friend and he had a look at it and said thats how it is meant to be.

I couldn't even play with it after i installed it -____- so i have to just sit and wait.. Pics are down below!

Only seen this thread today so;

I installed my CAI today, couldn't help but open the box and start installing it as it came too my door on my birthday! and also sprayed my calipers black last weekend ,took a good amount of time. I'll put some pics up later on my thread.

Welcome to the club mate! Should make a topic and show some pics in the Members rides sub forum.

Good to see another 04 stivo join the club

Not car related-

1. Put your headphones into your pocket when you are done listening to them, pull them back out to find you have a f#@!ng jungle to unwire.

2. People who don't allow someone getting off transport to get off, they just step straight onto the bus/train/tram.

3. Idiots that speak so god damn loud on their phones on a bus/train.

Car related-

1. PEOPLE WHO DONT ALLOW YOU TO MERGE ON THE FREEWAY.

2. I hate trucks :(

Hows the k&n intake sound? Installed mine today, cars on stands waiting for my wheels to get back so couldn't hear it properly.

Love the look of this thing :D

Wow that looks mean mate. Love it!

Oh my lord so many parts lmao. Good luck selling!

Free bump

Wow that looks tuff as guts. Loving the stickers on the back to

stock rims??????????????????????

No not stock rims lmao. The rims that are on the car in the pics!

i know the guy, he got a garage at the back right? he IS really good. he fixed my buckled wheel to 95% and no air leaks. i even tracked with them and got a 5 second improvement :P

I hope he is as good as you say, Just 3 weeks to paint for wheels? I got my p's today and i can't even drive my car, the moment that everyone looks forward to. Kind of bs but o well better be worth the wait!

Welcome to the forums! Good to see some more stivo's joining

powdercoating is not the same as spray painting. where did u get the sports pedals?

They arn't genuine, just bought a pair from Centeral Auto. Added an extra hole in the accelerator, clutch and brake just fit on easy. Still look great though.

I called the bloke about my wheels today, (he works from home in coburg) apparently he is really good but it has taken two weeks just to respray the wheels. Apparently he had a problem with the humitity going on here in melbourne and that has stuffed up the paint.

2 weeks to respray my wheels, what the fk! I'm so annoyed. Does anyone know if this is normal? i was thinking atleast 3-4 days at the most.

Sounds great! Welcome to the forums buddy.

If you are willing to part out, shot gun springs

Good luck selling it dude, i'm sure it will be gone in no time!

That thing looks so mean!

Oh myyyy godd looks so mint! ^_^

Can't wait for the yearly cruise!

Well you can see the wheels so its kind of not invisible! :)

But still a great idea haha love it!

on crappy pay but u "mod smart" mate ;)

Modding smart as in waiting for your birthday for money and other random days from family? Thats what I've only got untill i get another job part time then i can start saving for some more mods on the car!

Thats smart :D

Looks clean as man! Loving the new mods ^__^ how much did the king springs set you back?

looks great mate, nice and clean! Do the genreal mods first i.e

- Lower the car, coilovers/springs etc.

- HID headlights/foggies

- Rims

- CAI

- TINT

If you need parts keep your eye on the buy & sell sub forum!

Looks tuff! Good job :D

Starting to look good mate.

What future mods do you hope to do? Need a set of HID foggies myself

haha go for it, foggies help heaps :P And I'm thinking of investing in coils/rims/brakes next, not anytime soon though since i got a major service (120,000km) lined up very soon and i start uni :(

Ahh your in the same boat as me ^_^ Uni and part time jobs are crap for doing mods! Where'd you get the foggies from? online?

yeah i bought them from ****** Australia, a number of people on these forums have something bad to say about them but they've been pretty good to me so far :P But I'd say get em off eBay, the places here probably import them from china anyway and raise the price cos they're based in Australia. And don't worry mate, I'm working at maccas. I think thats the worst it gets :P

Exact same god damn position as me LMFAO omg its horrible, need a new job asap!
