Just finished installing the AWE Tuning CF intake system and re-installed my NM Power Module. The intake looks and sounds great. Thanks to Josh at AWE for the great customer service. I didn't realize how much I missed my power module until I re-installed it. Put about 30-40 miles on it so the ECU could relearn and it screams again! :eek::nod::thumbsup:
Next up is installing all the suspension goodies. They won't arrive for a few days anyway, but I'm still gonna wait until Helix releases their adjustable control arms before I start on the suspension. Eric says they should be out for the Dragon. Correction: That means the Helix intercooler is next up, since I'm taking delivery and having it installed at the Dragon. Attachment 144027 Attachment 144028 |
Looking Great. Did the stock mini wheel centers fit your new ones?

Eventually I'm having a red pinstripe added to the outside edge of the wheels and will probably just have them paint the center caps at the same time. |
This is all too good!!

Lovin' that AWE CF Intake Whitey. :thumbsup:
(a shame the bonnet covers it). It's only money and they're printing more. :lol: |
A few more mods in the works. Just have to wait until after MOTD to get everything installed. I have on hand NM springs, rear sway bar, end links, and adjustable rear control arms. On order as of today is the JCW big brake kit, NM stainless brake lines. RSe05 17" wheels, strut bar, and billet mounts with grease fittings for the 22mm rear sway bar.
I should be able to swap out the wheels before the Dragon. While I'm there Helix will be installing one of their new intercoolers and doing some coding for me. I'll post pics of the work as it progresses. After this I'll probably do a couple of cosmetic adjustments and that should finish the car mods for a while. |
Looks great. What rear sway bar and end links did you go with?
|
NM 22mm solid with the NM end links.
|
Does installing a power module effect the gas mileage you get?
|
It all depends on how heavy your right foot is.

The Brown Truck was good to me today.

Had time today to get the wheels changed. They'll look better with the Brembo brakes. Maybe next week. Gotta get ready to leave for the Dragon now.

Really like wheels.
Go slay the Dragon bud, but do so safely :thumbsup: |
Be careful down there , say goodbye to the tire tread after the dragon ;)

While at MOTD I had Helix install one of their new intercoolers for me. :grin:
In the beginning... hidden behind this not so subtle imitation of a Hoover vacuum lies the stock I/C. Attachment 143528 The bare front end after stock I/C was removed. Attachment 143529 The two I/C's side by side. Helix on the left. Attachment 143530 Preparing to mount the new I/C and the last pic is as they were cinching it down. Attachment 143531 Attachment 143532 Thanks to the guys at Helix for a seamless install and some great coding, and thanks Eric for the great deal on the pre-order of the new I/C. |
What benefits are gained in putting in a new intercooler? Less chance of your car over-heating?
