I just thought about something. You have an 04, so you shouldn't have fog lights.
I don't remember what the room looks like on the front bumper, but you might be able to re route the intake to where the driver side fog light should be, so its like a ram air style and it acts as a shield.

 

I looked up what a hydro shield was, and priced out one... But, as an alternative, I think I'll make one myself, and save the 30-something bucks for something else. Like fuel. I'm still in the "honeymoon phase" of car ownership, meaning I still quite frequently sample the sweet combo of the exhaust and the supercharger whine, and my fuel economy is suffering accordingly...

Off subject a little, but I already have the one dumb co-worker who wants to actually thinks he's faster... He has two vehicles:
2014 Chevy Sonic LT, 1.4T/auto
2009 Dodge Ram 1500, quad cab, 4wd, 5.7L, auto...

he simply doesn't understand that were I feeling frisky, I could blow his doors off...

 

You may be better off making it yourself.
And believe me, I understand that feeling.
The sound+feeling gets addicting. I have a hard time not punching it when I do drive it.


No offense, but your co worker is an idiot. That sonic may have a chance if its fully built with full bolt ons.
And the Ram....don't waste the gas.


In for kill vids though

 

I can't mount my iPad in a camera setup, so probably no kill videos in near future...

And I don't really wanna waste my time with the co-worker... both his vehicles are stock, and I feel that I would soundly thrash either of them...

 

Dont blame yuh.
Waste the gas in an ss/sc or tc, cts-v, gt, something good. Lmao

 

The issue is that there is almost nothing good around here... The most playing I've done so far has been solo, against benchmarks set in my ranger...

 

I somewhat have the same issue.
I don't stand a chance around anyone here.
All vettes and stangs.
Until I get tuned, I wont even be able to keep up.

 

Okay, so my redline needs a tune really bad... It's been running rich enough to set a CEL, and I am noticing power falling off when under boost(generally most noticeable between 3.5-5k in third)... Makes me think she's fouling her plugs... My fuel mileage has been crap lately too... I got 23mpg coming through the mountains, and romping on it, and now, I'm getting 17-ish, maybe less, and driving it somewhat gentle... Don't get me wrong, I still play, but I now have five hills to cross on the way to work, and am driving reasonable maybe 75% of the time...

 

Yea, you need a tune.
Go with 1 step colder plugs. (can get those off zzp)
and we need to find you a tuner. You may need to drive a bit for it. Not sure what the price will be. I know its 2-300 when your pcm hasn't been unlocked, so not sure when it has been.

 

Yeah, she needs some small stuff, but good daily driver potential nonetheless...

Anyway, I think I'll hold onto the ranger for a little while, in case something happens with my redline... I smelled clutch the other day, I was turning onto my road, and one of the shift cables popped loose, leaving me in 4th(I think), and I tried moving to a widespot under its own power. I stopped when I realized it wasn't going to work, but it smelled bad for a minute or two... It still grabs pretty hard when shifting though, so I think I'm fine...
