i don't want to keep putting up new threads so i am just going to start making this a progressive or build thread for my car....
keeping posted of what i am working on.

now that the suspension is on, i dont feel so strange taking pictures.. still looking for rims. and need to price factory fog lights and do the cruise mod..



flash forward: Wheels, debadged, DIY headlights




Hayabusa muffler:





last picture shows how i attached the flange and mated the pipe. there is still a flange right on the other side of the axle.


Cold Air intake:



Taken from a 92ish honda accord (discussed in another thread) cut down the pipes, and the couplers are all the right size.
I would recommend multiple fitments, and making your own brackets.

And Fog Lights! :




The car is missing enough of the factory harness that i decided against using any of it. After investigating, i could have entered the factory harness at the junction box beside the battery. But who really wants to take that all apart, and then spend @ $60 for a factory headlight switch? So i ran a relayed harness and switch, i have temp fogs in place until the chrome rings come in at the dealer though, still might order the correct Aveo5 foglights, or just modify the sedan ones i have. Also the switch does well in the spot, if it had the little fog light picture on it then it would appear factory, even though the picture makes it off. (if you install the switch there, you need to take that piece out, and unplug the power mirror switch harness from the back of it.)

how does that work with the busa muffler?

Just a little warning, if you go into a puddle big enough, water will get sucked into your intake and f*ck up your engine...

Pray nothing bad happens if it rains where you live.

Good to have you back gOast.

i have fog lights in there now, and that cai is no where near as low as some mof the cai i have had in the past.

How's the power-band increase with that CAI? I'm gonna do a Short Ram w/ heat shield and paint the whole intake with ceramic paint. I'm painting my calipers competition orange, so I think I'll do my air intake and my engine cover competition orange too. I keep my aveo up there pretty high in the rpm range, so a short ram would serve me best so long as I make it heat-resistant.

i drive in the 3500-5000 rpm range most of the time, car pulls like hell compared to stock in that range. with the exhaust it growls a little. i like it.

I keep her a little closer to the 6000rpm range. Naw, only like 35% of the time.

lol my aveo never gets under 4k rpm, though i should take it a little easy sometimes, it just sounds awesome at about 5000 and up

my best sound is at 3K
