Actually some punks in a Civic drove by it while it was recording, but they wouldn't have gotten far

Nothing! Cut 2 wires deep, stretched it over, and hosed clamped it - Same as my SLE and personally I think it works great with no leaks. Trust me, it'* rock solid on there.

When I was interning this past summer, I lived in Wheaton. Most of those pics are in that area. I need to find some good places to take pics, but it seems like everything is too crowded - besides the cemetary

Bob -

The car looks great.

One question, where did you relocate the IAT sensor to? (Mine is getting heatsoaked being right next to the TB and above the crossover pipe)

The outside of the IAT is sealed with "liquid electrical tape." It'* super snug in there though.

That'* a shaved down 3.5" O.D. PVC pipe until I find something better. It'* still nice and thin with tapered edges. When/if I get something new, the IAT is isolated so it'* easy to swap couplers. I spliced and extended the IAT wires to reach. My FWI is ghetto but I honestly think it works fine - and it only cost $60.
