Plus, i'm cheap and don't see a point in wasting money on installation costs when i'm capable No but really, just being an enthusiast, I enjoy learning the car as I work on it.

Agreed 100%

Are you planning on getting this kit? Perhaps we can do a local NY get together/install session, similar to what the Houston gang did.

If you guys need any help let me know I gotta make my way down to NY soon anyway...

I have the tools/know-how to do this, and I'm still thinking about hiring someone to do it for me just so I don't have to! LOL

You've inspired me to just go ahead and do it myself... Guess it's time to send Visconti more money.

Yeah I decided to do the self install cause of so many reasons. One is so I can undo it if anything goes wrong, save around 800 bucks (wheels/tires), and the rush of excitement accomplishment at the end was good too haha

if you do decide to install it and run to any problems like shit might not seem to fit pm me. I ran to that problem a few times and eventually found a way to fit things.

Hey I have been getting a lot of pm from people in the NoVA area about seeing the kit. Would you guys like me to arrange a meet so you can all see it simultaneously? OR maybe someone can help me arrange one haha

I am really trying to stay away from F/I I doubt that it will happen though. Even if it does it probably won't be for a while. I've been going OD on buying crap for this car.

I'm down to meet up and help/hang out though!

Yes, that would be cool. Why don't you pick a Day and Time that you are free and a Location that works for you and see how many people are interested in showing up.

Yeah, I definitely hear you on that. My desire to have someone do it for me was more along the lines of making sure it was done right, and if it wasn't, someone other than me would have to man up to it But yeah, the knowledge of doing it so that you can undo it later (or address any minor issues) is worth doing it yourself.

Appreciate your offer of guidance if need be!

I still haven't put any money down on a kit - but I know I'm going to definitely go FI over the next few months. Leaning towards the relatively plug/play effort of the Vortech and the numbers are right at the point where I can justify it. If a local group of folks are planning on getting it and would like to do a group installation effort, I'll definitely be up for that and would enjoy having you you guys come out and help/hang.

The look on your face is priceless man.

Also, I hope you took the painters tape off the intake snorkel!

the tape over the snorkle makes me laugh, because the tape there is absolutely useless.
