[/QUOTE] hey we have the same intake system what did yours cost
Re: My 06 GP GXP Her names Delilah
i duuno right off...it was a mixture of things. the rubber like couplings were a few bucks from local auto parts store along with the clamps. the filter was 9.99 on ebay and
the chrome pipe came from this
Brand New 93 97 Toyota Corolla 1 6L Cold Air Intake Chrome Polished 3" Tube Pipe | eBay
and i just pieced it all together
Re: My 06 GP GXP Her names Delilah
i also had to cut the chrome pipe a little shorter cause it was to long but it worked out well
Re: My 06 GP GXP Her names Delilah
i went to ebay and got my whole setup for under 15.00 us dollars. Looks just like the above

Re: My 06 GP GXP Her names Delilah
Yea u can get some good deals on there
Re: My 06 GP GXP Her names Delilah
I thought RPerry would know what solder would be best, and just thought maybe your brother in Arms(Shemmue) might be switching over to coils soon...Therefore not needing his SSCs....
That sucks they only do group buys on those GXP springs now....but you'ld be alright with the 1.7s that would get you were you wanna be for now.
This site does help a person spend his money, but wisely right?
Re: My 06 GP GXP Her names Delilah
Wisely...maybe...the cars fine the way it was before mods. But o well. And he didn't say he had SSC springs. He said he had some other brand or type. But either way he don't get back till after I wanna do all this work
Re: My 06 GP GXP Her names Delilah

Re: My 06 GP GXP Her names Delilah
Hang on to that receipt, some of those red-tops go funk. I guess they changed their manufacturing plant years ago.. they seemed to have mixed reviews these days. I have had one for 5 years no problems, until I put my HIDs in and didn't make a good connection(DUH), but remedied and no problems.

Yup I always keep my receipts.. 50 bucks off was a nice savings even though that's the 6th time I've used in in two weeks. I have a box of receipts from parts I've gotten
Re: My 06 GP GXP Her names Delilah
Turns out its a bad alternator...tested when I went to pick up battery...o wel
Re: My 06 GP GXP Her names Delilah
Bingo I was right again on alternator lol. Yea keep that receipt well advance stores in for a few years in there system just in case..those red tops can be defective. I bought one brand new had to swap in 3x before I got one that wouldn't lose a charge.
Re: My 06 GP GXP Her names Delilah
Haha and yea I think its the regulator in the alternator cause it'll keep the system running just barely over 12 volts but low enough for battery saver mode to kick in
Re: My 06 GP GXP Her names Delilah
that would drive me nuts, what you do with the old alt? i need one to get rebuilt

Re: My 06 GP GXP Her names Delilah
nothing is wrong with mine, i just can have one sent out to be upgraded. cheaper than trying to buy a whole new one.
Re: My 06 GP GXP Her names Delilah
I see nothing in that closet that is retrofit-related.
