How hard was it to install that little antenna? I need a new one because someone (my dad) broke mine off so I can't tune in a station to save my life. Nice car btw. Also I'm a big fan of the intercooler, it may be a bit over kill but it looks sexy:D

Unscrew old one, screw in new one...easy as that! And thanks!

can you drive it on the road without the bumper? like...legaly?

I don't know how legal it is, but I passed quite a few cops and none of them seemed to care, so I guess it's fine, at least in my area. I don't plan on driving it like that for very long though.

Have any issues with the MAF being so close to the throttle body?
VERY clean car. Well thought out and executed.

Doesn't seem to be causing any issues...it actually runs really smooth...no stalling, no sputtering ever. The idle is almost dead flat and smooth...kinda goes up and down a little every now and then, but overall it seems to work great!

Stock red....I don't know the paint code for it, sorry. You should do that...it'll be sweet!

Thanks again for the positive comments!!

Driving w/o the bumper cover should be no problem, but you'll probably get some attention haha. But, because the bumper support was cut to fit the intercooler, that might be a problem. Like previously mentioned, connect your bumper support together somehow, so those internals will be saved in case of a wreck.

Besides the ride hight, this is one of the cleanest looking 240's I've seen. I like!

Clean lookin car man! Nice setup.
Really stands out from the crowd with that radiator-sized FMIC..good lord!..what's the specs on that thing?
I'm rollin' the 501's minus the center caps, but they don't look too bad there..hmmm.

Haha yeah the intercooler is kinda huge...specs are ummm...it's big.
501 crew unite haha yeah...i like those wheels. I thought about not putting on the centercaps, but obviously I went with using them and I'm think they look pretty good.

Thanks dude...I wish I could point ya in the right direction to get an antenna like that one, but I can only guess ebay or just googling "short antenna's". I don't know though. I got mine from a buddy...he just had a few and was selling them for $10 a piece so I grabbed one. Good luck man, I'm sure they can't be that hard to find.

Rebuilt ported head w/Colt turbo cam
Ported intake w/no butterflies
ARP head bolts
Nismo Motor and Tranny mounts
Garrett 50trim T3
Log Manifold

AEM EUGO wideband
Autometer boost, oil pressure, and water temp gauges

Oh, and the flex pipe is temporary, but it actually is working quite well.

looks clean. Get you drop done as soon as possible to make it look like it should.

Re: Whore time! :-) (simmode1)

ca18detgabby — 2008-05-15T10:52:34-08:00

I like how you intergrated the MAF in to the cold side.

looks good. Not a fan of the flex pipe as intake, but w/e floats your boat.

Re: Whore time! :-) (gizzerd)

simmode1 — 2008-05-15T10:31:09-08:00

Yep, cleanest KAE-t I've seen... What's up on the internals? Built or stock? You know WD's been looking for clean KA turbos to feature as ROTM, right? Go post your's in the KA-T forum...
