kinda a dumb question, but how do you pop the door panel off? one of the wires is rattling against the panel whenever i turn up the bass and i cant quite reach it by just popping off the panel by the door handle inside.

 

i believe there are 3 screws,
2 behind the handle trim piece
1 behind the locking/door opener handle

then you just pull really hard

 

just got a check engine light with takeda CAI

dont get it until further notice

 

Darnit, I already have it arriving tomorrow!!!

 

May I ask why you purchased this intake? Did you read the reviews about this intake? Did you just want something different?

 

Personally, I wasn't sure about the build quality/design of the descendant. Also not a huge fan of the manipulation of the MAF with the injen. And didn't want a short ram, so weapon r was out of the question. Plus I know aFe makes good products and liked their dyno results.

 

-i've heard good reviews about takeda and wanted something different

-i liked the dyno chart not because of the gains but that it starts to kick in a lower RPMs which it definitely does. You feel the power as low as 3500rpms

im still not 100% sure why i got the check engine light, it may have been because I was driving through part of the Irene storm? I reset the code and we'll see how long it will take to come back if at all, I do however have the injen water filter so IDK, time will tell

 

What do you use to reset CEL codes?

 

my fiend has a code scanner, he said he paid $130 for it, ill look up the company later

 

here is the code reader

I run a ScanGauge II which can clear codes, as well as read engine vitals while plugged in.

 

what CELs have you been getting?

 

brake pads came in!

 

I want them installed tonight, and I expect a full review by noon. ; )

 

this is actually a pic i sent to my friend when I received this at work......and......I forgot them at work! otherwise the pics would have been much more entertaining/educating instead of just a box.

on the box it said to give 100-500 miles to brake in so the review will take a while since i just moved back to college which is 2 miles away from my job

 

that looks like a big box. lol. i should be getting my in tomorrow as well.

 

it's very heavy as well!!!

 

None on the tC, but I had a couple over the years on the xD, plus its very easy to move from car to car, so I have ran and cleared codes for my friends and family several times.


edit: scratch that, I had a p0171 on the tC once that I cleared.

 

left my car for 20 min and the badge was gone
