    Haha I kinda assumed so. But then I got really convinced that for some reason the door cards were only the back portion :loco: couldn't quite explain why

      Well I installed the fogs and ducts and stuff today. Passenger side works but I think the bulb in the driver side is shot.


















      No my plate isn't crooked. My bumper is...

          If you mean the camber plate, those didn't come with the JOMs they were separate

              Sorry, I don't actually know the brand. Bought them from a friend but they are pretty nice.

              Hit up a local dyno day and got my whizzy on the dyno! I don't like the way my torque curve looks but I'm hoping that with an actual tune it gets a lot better. Right now it is just making about as much power as an m20b25 which saddens me a little.

              Mods:
              2.7 bottom end w/ 885 stock head
              272 cam
              eGay headers
              Ostrich 2.0 running some generic tune

              Video:



              The smoke at the end is from an exhaust leak. One of the header tubes is too close to the stud and I can't get a bolt on it. So it is pretty bad.

                Cool thread. Any reason you went with the later valance over the eS/iS air dam?

                  Just read the entire thread. You have done some very cool things with this car.

                  I agree that the torque curve looks kind of strange. With that eta bottom end it ought to be much higher at 3K. AF ratio looks pretty good.

                  Hopefully the tuning will help. Good luck

                    AF ratio is over 15 to 1 at 3k and that is not pretty good. This engine will have a much better torque (and hp) curve when the fueling is corrected.

                      I personally just like the late valance over the early valance. I think on a 4 door the eS/iS would have just looked a little off.

                      Like LJ851 said, it isn't really tuned for my motor yet. I'm sure it'll look very different once I adjust fueling/timing

                        I lost my camera charger and wasn't going to hold this up because of an internet forum.

                        Before:


                        bumper removed: kinda looks like a 2002


                        Damn AC hose went behind this little tab, had to disconnect the fitting to get the panel off. Oh well, no need for AC at this time and it's an excuse to go get it fixed :)



                        Tried cutting off the tow hooks with a sawzall... took too long


                        Cutting wheel worked better :)


                        Got the valance bolted up, still a few kinks to work out


                        After:
                        Did you try drilling the spot welds? I took mine off to spray, and ended up getting the piece off with a drill, screwdriver and hammer. Just putting it out there for if you need to do it again. Great Progress!

                                No they don't, if they did I would be all over them! I appreciate the kind words :)
