The participation level for this meet is crazy.
I am glad that you all have decided first; to come out and second; to support one of our newest member in his first meet.

Big *****ing Intake, its practically free, but its the best intake for sc400's because its a cold air box. and not just an intake pipe

I have a spare intake box already drilled up, only problem is its in colorado right now... i should have it shipped to me...

have any of you guys played/seen Doom? remember the BFG (Big F'n Gun)

well the BFI stands for Big F'n Intake and you make it like so...
http://planetsoarer.com/BFI3/bfi3.htm

instead of sticking a cone filter in your engine bay to suck up all that hot air, the idea is to increase the size of the stock Cold Air Intake by drilling it out and sealing a chamber to the bumper. Yes sc300/sc400 come stock with a cold air intake, its just that the whole to the bumper is very small.
there are writeups on CL sc forums about it too

**edit** aww you beat me too it, i'm down to install it though.
I'll even bring my drill =)

if you guys still have room during this meet.

um.. can someone help/change my abs sensor??? im not mechanically inclined so i have no idea how to do it. also is this part a special order thing?

the reason i say abs sensor is cuz i still have all my lights on in the dash. parking brake, abs, vsc, vsc off. its like a freaking christmas tree.

i changed out the brakes did the whole reset ecu thing. havent checked for codes cuz i dont have a reader. lmk if theres space. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've got a laptop and a USB-to-OBD-II cable...and the appropriate software. I'll bring it if someone needs it.

Reads codes as well as real-time engine performance data.

I'm in the process of adding digital gauges to the CarPC using the interface. Yeah, I'm a geek but...I'm OK with that!
