Looking fresh man!

They are a pain to remove because the 3M adhesive is very stick.
If you pull them off right like the window seal they will com off clean. If it did leave residue, you could just wipe it off with a little rubbing alcohol.
Where the stick is inside out of view.
If your tinting the windows,do the tint first. I'll have to take them off if I tint my windows.

Once it was protuned I hit 17.5-18.5.psi. 17.6 has been pretty consistent.
It was spiking a little bit when I was running Cobb OTS maps.

I appreciate the advice.
I'm getting a DW65c fuel pump and ID1000cc injectors. But my next mod will be the Process West TMIC.
Once TMIC is installed then I'll do injectors and pump. I'm trying to gain some more power, but maintain daily driver capabilities.

My black side badges came today!
I got a quote from my tuner to finish my build. $2,400.
That's a Process West TMIC, ID1000 injectors, DW65c fuel pump and a retune.
What do you guys think is that a worthwhile deal?
The price seems correct lets get some opinions!
 
#22 ·
That's the price for the parts AND labor AND retune? Hook me up with this guy!
 
#23 ·
Wow, $2400? Does that include labor on their end?

EDIT: this is me saying that I think this is high for just parts and a tune. If this includes labor than it seems to be a fair price.

It might take me a little time, my brother totaled his Chevy Silverado last night.
He's ok , but truck is wrecked.
And he took out a used car dealership (6 cars anyway) and destroyed his truck.
The truck I have put $5,000 into in the past 6 months. Now it's sitting in my second driveway at my house all messed up. I'm not happy about that. :sadwave:

That's no good, hopefully all is well. Don't feel obligated to rush into your build. Family always comes first as it seems you already know.

I found a 96 Civic cheap 271,000 but hey if it runs good. So I'll probably end up buying him a car.
He's my baby brother and I have been Dad since I was 16 and he was 9 after my Dad died I have another brother age wise his in between, he's married and drives a Forester. The funny part is they both look 10+ years older than me. I'm 34 and look like I'm 20.

Subbed. Love what you are doing, and can't wait to see what you do/get ideas of what I should do.

Also, you are a great man for what you do/have done for your family. My wife was in a similar setting after her mother passed away. If only there were more people like you guys!
