Default Update:Valve Cover :)

Found a awesome deal on this carbon fiber cover. Looks amazing and 75 bucks. For the price wasn't expecting the quality of the item. Got it and couldn't wait to put it on so BAM here it is. Ordered a strut bar and also a TRD oil fill cap to help make it a little nice under the hood. Soon headers will be on but need to repaint the car first.

Cleaned up the engine bay a little bit. nothing crazy just doesn't look as bad. Installed my unichip as well and ran the switch to the inside of the car underneath the steering wheel.

Do you have a V6? If not, then forget headers. An inline engine will support one and only one header. I've a header on mine (singular) and it works just fine .

Yeah, that's pretty clear, but it's still singular. Your usage, on the other hand, is correctly plural.

Just grammar dude, loads of people get this wrong, just because others don't get it, doesn't mean you have to partake ! So how's your ignition mod doing (saw it in your photos)? Came close to buying one of those, but am too cheap on gas .

I know its incorrect, but headers it what I say and will always say. Header just sounds weird to me. Every car I have owned/worked on has had headers not just a single header. So for me headers it is.

So, you don't give a **** about reality, fine, just expect to be regularly called out by people with a clue! Guess I'm not used to people that embrace misuse of vocabulary, still, whatever works for you bro!

Or its just not that big of a deal whatsoever. We are on a forum. Now if I was applying for a job in the header field or anything of the such I would pay more attention but this is the internet and a forum. Who CARESSS! Everyone has there things they do quick when on the internet wether its correct or not its not a big deal at all. If I was doing something that would require me to be completely correct grammatically then I would give a ____, but this is the internet and IDC enough to correct something so simple.

I have yes, but unfortunately the tune was WAY off when I got it compared to what was on my car. I met a friend who has all the tuning capabilities near me. So for a couple bucks he retuned it for me. When I was using the bad tune it actually completely shut the car off at one point. Was fast until then, but I took it out for awhile because I was afraid it was something other then just a simple tune. So as of last week I got it tuned and put back on. Had to empty the 87 octane and just putfresh 93 in today so I cant wait to run a good map

When I was looking at a used purchase, I concluded I'd need a specific tune (generic sounds good, but may not be something I can rely on), plus it would cost me a couple hundred bucks up in New Jersey. I chose as is, but remain interested in people's Unichip results. Would love to learn about your ongoing experience -- here's hoping it works out well !
