I felt like taking a couple of new engine bay shots.

Thanks to Andy@MyNismo for the great deal on the ARC parts. Ordered the ARC V.2 catch can, radiator cap and cooling panel.

Thanks to Andy@MyNismo for the great deal on the ARC parts. I ordered the ARC V.2 catch can, radiator cap and cooling panel and they had everything in stock and shipped out the next day.

And thank to Sam@GT Motorsports. GTM's JWT TT cold air intake setup, radiator shroud and fans are top notch...

 

How was the install on the ARC can? I assume you had to take the plumbing off on the right to side to get back the lines? Did you move the bracket mount? Your bracket looks longer than mine lol

 

Lookin' nice in the engine bay! Need some rims though unless your goin' for the sleeper look haha! Love the ARC catch can too!

Take care

 

What happened to the Piaa wheels?

 

engine bay looks nuts. but i agree, yo need wheels. im assuming you either sold your wheels for new ones, sold them to pay for motor work (lol), or just took them off for the work getting done?

 

thats sickkkkkkk

 

What does the ARC catch can do? Sorry for the noob question.

 

A catch can, ARC, Greddy, Cusco, etc..., catches any "blow-by"(excess oil, bad for the engine) in the intake before it enters the intake manifold. Blow-by usually occurs in F/I cars rather than stock N/A cars.

 

that looks so sick! i could only imgaine how much that cost!!

 

Thanks for the comments guys. haha, I knew eveyone was gonna say "wtf, stock wheels?"

Hey Calvin - I sold my 19" PIAA Super Rozza's because of my traction issues since Sam(GTM) tuned my car 2 months ago. I'm saving up for some new 18" Enkei GTC-01's and still debating on the tire setup, leaning towards Falken Azenis and just put some drag radials on the stock wheels for when i go to the track.

I need some help picking the correct tire size for 18X9F & 18X10R wheels on my 04' coupe. Does anyone have any experience with 18's on a lowered coupe? I was thinking 255/45F and 295/40R or 285/45R or 305/40R but cant decide and dont know if they will look right on my car?

Thanks,
Derek

 

damn crazy sleeper rolling on them stock 18's. did you notice a difference in power going from the piaa 19's back to the stock 18's?

 

No, no power increase when switching wheels. 618lbs of torque is unbelievable on the street.

 

Very nice install. I like the the new home for the fuel return system..

 

Thank you. Yeah, the fuel system gets the job done, the only downside is the smell inside the cabin and the noise. The aeromotive pump is pretty loud but on the flipside the car sounds like a jet which I dont mind.
