FI for real...

Great thread btw tyeayo!

[CondeNast78]

how does it look! do you have any pics yet yayo? what kind of test pipes did you go with good brother?

[tyeayo]

I like the drop, alot!! no pics yet....still have a couple more things to do....and I got the cheapo kinetix test pipes...not sure how i will like em, so I wont feel to bad if I have to take em off and use em for snort straws for booger sugar

[tyeayo]

Popped in my test pipes....sounds much different....def. deeper and more of an idle growl...sounds the pitch and tone sounds the same as stock, just louder

[jookyshank]

Any rasp at WOT?

[jookyshank]

Today I CD2'd the engine bay! That stuff is MAGIC the rest of the detailing may yet take place...but I'm feelin pretty lazy atm...

not really....at first, before the copper sealant cured completely it did a lil bit, but no real change in the tone or anything

You just wait Tim.. you will notice the rasp soon enough.. it reminds me of the sharp coughs i had when i had pneumonia

[tyeayo]

ermmmmm........so damn, I went out to take a late night drive through a local set of un populated twisties....and that buzz I thought was an exhaust leak is sounding more and more like this rasp you speak of....I'm gonna lift it up tomorrow and reseal all the joints....I'm hoping that something knocked loose somewhere....otherwise, the stock vaginas are going back on

[CondeNast78]

I hope it's just a leak Tim! Jooky what's CD2? I need a good engine cleaner for grease that won't kill all my polished aluminum...

[jookyshank]

CD2 is a turtlewax product for detailing engines. It won't harm your polished items and really makes the bay spiffy! The DIY on cleaning your engine bay is very helpful on a de-greaser free method for cleaning "under there"

So be smarter than me and read the DIY...also...don't detail your car BEFORE you do this process...you're about to spray the car with water! (read on)
Just protect your filter, spray down the engine bay with a hose, use some soap/water brush to get most the dust/grime off. dry the bay slightly (no need to go OCD here) then hit EVERYTHING with the CD2 (sans filter of course) start up your car for about 10 mins or so, this wil burn off the major excess. Then wipe down the puddles and BAM!! (Emeril ftw)

I just got back from the dealership... I had both of my lower cushion seats replaced under warranty and waiting for my new transmission to come in. Which will also be replaced under warranty. I had a tear on the corners like the TSB and about 75% of the time I have a slight grind going into 2nd. My warranty will be over in December so I'm taking advantage of it.

[CondeNast78]

Good thinking Brian! Is your G at Infiniti until the transmission comes in?

Jooky thanks for the info on the CD2 =D
