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

i also had to cut the chrome pipe a little shorter cause it was to long but it worked out well

i went to ebay and got my whole setup for under 15.00 us dollars. Looks just like the above
02-09-2013
Yea u can get some good deals on there

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?
02-09-2013
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

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.
02-09-2013
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 gottenOriginally Posted by spazzz

Turns out its a bad alternator...tested when I went to pick up battery...o wel
02-09-2013
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.
02-09-2013
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
02-09-2013
that would drive me nuts, what you do with the old alt? i need one to get rebuilt
02-09-2013
Edit: I also got a brand new alt not a reman
I was gonna return it for the core. Advanced auto has a core of 60

02-11-2013
Slowly but surely all my replacement parts are coming in...and my tools are starting to move into the locker...and out of random nooks and crannys of the room

nothing is wrong with mine, i just can have one sent out to be upgraded. cheaper than trying to buy a whole new one.
02-12-2013
I see nothing in that closet that is retrofit-related.
02-12-2013
