Summer Mods

Postby Number2 » Mon Jul 23, 2012 9:14

Wuddup speeders?!

I thought I would post what I've been up to this summer to the speed. Other than than waxing her of course ;O)

Trunk Mat - Yes I know it's the '3' but hey, it beats the wirey carpet.
Image

Knee Pads
Image

...and for the passenger
Image

Synapse Diverter Valve. This thing is a boss.
Image

Took off the bumper...
Image

Image

So I could have my tint guy do the lower bumper.
Image

I also threw on a new plastic 'moustache' with no pre-drilled holes, as well as plasti-dipping the 'M'.
Image


More to come on Saturday :)

Nice! Where did you get the Diverter Valve from? I may be interested in getting one. I like the front lip painted too.

It's not painted...it's vinyl wrap. I removed the honey comb insert to make sure it goes back all the way.

The diverter valve is the new design from Synapse. It sounds awesome and releases pressure at even the smallest of boost levels, even 1200k rpms. It can be set for push (standard) or pull (high boost applications). It's also much, much smaller than the original synapse BPV and can be customized with different cap colors. Collect the whole set!

Installed a TWM short throw shifter this weekend. Thanks to Alain for the help.

I also redid the HomeDepot lip. I took pictures along the way:

And then I applied the Colorado Batman sticker :)

You did a lot more than you let on yesterday lol. I love the Home Depot lip. So simple and inexpensive and you wouldn't even know what it really was. Awesome. Seems like a lot of people are using Plasti-Dip these days too.

Good to see you again yesterday btw.
