Well after about 45ish hours the install is finally complete! What a horrible experience it was and I never,never want to do it again as long as I live!! I actually installed in twice really because I would always have to take it apart and do it again{step by step} to make sure every thing goes on correctly.
I just took the car out for a spin,nearly crashing into a tree at about 3 mph coming down my steep,twisty snow covered driveway.Thank god I managed to avoid it! Anyways I drove down a big open road {in the country} and let it rip! All I have to say is the car is a monster now!! It's hard to control because for#1, the car hops like a ****,from first gear, next{#2} it pulls to the right and left pretty hard when you floor it in first or second. I looked down at my speedo when I was traveling at 40MPH and snaped it into second gear and in about a second the car was at 60MPH{scary}. The car will definatly take a lot of getting use to before I can drive with confendence again. BTW it makes my 95 Maxima feel like a slug!,and I thought it was quick. I can't wait to go out and race some Mustangs or something and just slaughter them{there are exeptions of course}.

I seem to have 1 minor problem, the car seems to shank a little when I am going 60+MPH. Could it be I need a colder spark plug or something? Please help me if you know.
BTW if any one has a ?? about the install or ever needs advice about installing a SC feel free to ask me. Later

 

45 hours? congrats

 

congrats man...you gotta love all that extra power on tap..i had a question, i recall you mentioning i30's having 150 extra pounds of sound deadening materials..well i was in a junkyard the other day and i sawan i30 . the guts looked identical to my max. did you car seem quieter to you than the max you previously had?

 

it yourself.

 

.. At the green signal, unleash hell....

watching too much gladiator

CONGRATS MAN!!!!! Good job... what's next?

 

with it and it works all good )

Kick a$$!

I've gained back almost all the respect I lost for you when I saw that chrome tape on the sides of your Max.

(ITS A JOKE NOT A FLAME...calm down)

I'm just jealous 'cause I cant afford boost.

I figured out why my car was a little shacky, it was because I had pact Ice and snow in my rims. I took it out for a spin this morning and no more vibration

Sweet sound, I am not a 100% positive what the extra weight is but I do know the car weighs 3150 LB's. I do believe some of the extra weight can be contributed to extra sound detinating material. As for is it quiter then my max? I really can't recall because the max was so loud the last time I drove it because of the exaust system.

Confused, I may get a body kit shortly but I am not sure. I also plan on getting a 3" RT cat soon I am also starting a fund for a 96-97 Jeep Grand Cherokee for the winter because my I30 will be to low and I want to keep the miles down so that it will last a long time to come.

Dany, I have to ask, do I know my $hit now? Haha, just busten around.

 

Congrats! Woohoo!!!

 

Congrats, you got my respects as a mechanic!

 

And you did all 45 hours in the freakin' cold too! Congrats!!
Just remember to let the engine warm up first before mashing the pedal. After reading the oil thread suggestions for the S/C I'm thinking about switching to either Mobile 1 or Castrol. How about you?

 

YOU DA MAN !!

 

Vandanno, I personaly only use Amsoil and amsoil oil filters. I have been thinking about switching over to Royal Purple{$$$}. I also like redline but I have never tried there engine oil.

 

Congratulations on your new SC. Do be careful, not to scare the Mustangs too much. I'm still waiting for the quote on the Diana kit. He's still looking around for a good deal on them. I will get back to you ASAP.
