Default Installed MODS on Weekend

Well they are not the most impressive MODS, but they were my first (excluding the black lettering in the back).

1. I added the Halltech Stinger. Easy installation after getting the original air filter system out of there.

2. Put in the CLB. I thought this would be the hard one since I had to take apart the car to do it, but in 45 mins or so I had the CLB in and no codes....

So next will be the exhaust... I am moving up on the challenge list!!

Nice job on the mods. Nothing better than crossing a couple of things off the todo list.

I am waiting on the CLB myself. Can't wait to get that out of the way.

I used these instructions for my 01 MN6. It is best if you can print them in color to see the wires that you need to connect to. I have wirelesss internet connection in my garage so I just turned on my laptop and followed the instructions....

Good luck it is not that hard. Oh one thing make sure you put the metal clips that hold the bottom screws in place before putting the knee plate panel back on, otherwise you will have to fumble around trying to line them up later - that added a few mins. to my install...

No guts, no glory cut those bushings and put in longer bolts...great for racking the leaves!



Congrats on the starting down the mod road - may apologies to your checkbook for its future grief!

on the check book issue. I jumped right in and did the exhaust in my garage for my first mod. Now I look for any reason to take the car apart and put on new stuff! I'm waiting for my Halltech Stinger that will be arriving in the mail at the end of the week. No better way to spend the weekend then working in the garage!
