I'd love to see some AITs from before and after with the wrapped intake.

Took her for a cruise and hit some exit ramps pretty hard. No rubbing whatsoever. Even the front was good with 1.5 degree camber. Now time to make a front mudflap to connect to side diffuser. Too many rocks flying around


Just went through your thread, and man your car is beautiful! How do you like the RE-71Rs? Have you had any experiences with RE-11s, if so, any major differences? Pros and Cons?

@vincent. Thank you. Yes, ive had re-11 and re-11a. Theyre impressive, good grip, great in rain, quiet. The re-71 are so much stickier than re-11. They are louder and not as great in the rain. If you daily your s re11. If you just want the best all out tire go re-71. Both use a lower cold pressure.

Gotcha. AFAIK any standalone ECU will be able to read and log intake temps. From personal experience, I would recommend a Haltech unit, but I've heard rave reviews of the AEM Infiniti as well. Getting the car tuned does wonders for changing the character of the car to something truly aggressive. Makes zero sense to have all those bolt-ons and no tune to exploit them.

the spoiler a nice touch. I can read intake temps from your OEM ECU with my scanner if you ever want to play with it.

ricky I agree haltech is the way to go love mine easies software to use. but aem just as good I would go with whatever the tuner your going to uses likes. but I got to agree with jst he really doesn't need a standalone kpro a better option for him.

Kpro is more expensive and more of a pain in the ass to install. Haltech is 100% PnP, and is super easy to tune. AEM Infinity is even easier to tune. Either one will keep your car running like stock with a good tune.
