hmmm. I think I like the top one more...although the other one looks cool too, but has the huga braille emblem on it...I'm down for having the name of my parts be very visible, but that woud be the biggest logo in your engine bay...and frankly braille isn't doing enough in your engine bay to warrant that big of a logo. I think they should send you money with the tie down to pay for their huge logo. They should also send me money because I like money.

I guess when it boils down to it...you engine bay is getting so crazy that you should start leasing sticker positioning on the inside of the hood, the strut towers, maybe even the small spot behind the headlights. you could put some 4 inch stickers there...thats gotta be worth like 50 bones. right?

meh...its not even cf. I mean, its just added to the outside of the battery...so actually it weighs more...not much more, but it does weigh more.

Pink mounting bracket and you dont like my yellow one!!!!??? I can't win. apparently pink owns yellow. although I too would rather bang the pink ranger vs the yellow ranger...and I even like asian girls.

Chris give me 30 dollars and I will give you the sickest mounting bracket that no one has seen since its custom made.

I had it when I ran my braille battery, but no longer have the braille in my car since I don't drive the car much and it would die on me.

Ask Ian about the mount, Dave (Stee) made it for me but now it just sits in my closet not being used.

EDIT: Heres a pic

There is no such thing as harmless bling Chris! It is just bling!

I heard the red ranger turned out to a gay. and the yellow ranger just died. she was permorming during the opening ceremonies in Beijing and messed up on her routine. They killed her, her family, and even her zord.

Billy - Once the up-pipe is all finished, and both the up-pipe and header go to get their sexy black ceramic coating then shipped to my house, tear down begins! In the meantime I keep finding lil things to buy to help the build. I still have to take my throttle body off, just been busy with work and the gym. I am thinking September EVERYTHING will be installed and tuned. Thats my goal.

At the moment though, I talked to Steve at SMC Enterprise, and have some interesting info! He was nice enough (as always) to send me the washer/seals needed to get the M15 meth nozzle installed in my APS intercooler pipe. I was also talking to him about a fail safe. He told me of a company that has the unit already and an AMAZING price, honestly, this is too good! They sell the unit that works perfectly with the SMC Meth kit with brass fittings, and even have a boost bypass kit to cut boost if the flow is low! More to come on this, I will be ordering this soon today. Heres some info:

IFS-20 - Alcohol Injection Fail Safe
BBK-10 - Boost Bypass Kit

They used to make products for Snow Performance, trust me, they know their stuff and you can add this to ANY meth injection system and have a FAILSAFE for less than $200.00 So all you SMC Meth Injection owners, your question of Fail Safe systems have been answered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh almost forgot. I bought a Gates Racing Performance AC Belt from a member here. I will also be buying the Gates Racing Performance Alternator & Power Steering Belt. The belts on my car are the OEM ones since the first day I got the car, and my car has roughly 33k miles on. Figured why not since I am taking them off for this buku turbo install!
