The bar will fit fine...it just will place a lot of pressure on my intake's MAF sensor. Not the bar's fault...more the intake's fault for sticking up so far.

 

^agreed...

so, i retightened it, then it became okay. then after work, just earlier, it started to squeak again... smh...

 

john, my squeak only lasted a few days...i also noticed it more when the car was cold vs hot...

maybe u should also check the braces?
either that or check the intake...when i was busy troubleshooting the descendant intake, i played with the the part that bolts to the car. at the same time the squeak was happening...so im not sure how it would be related, but i know in addition to tightening the bolts, i also was checking that part of the intake

worth a shot i guess....maybe next time i see u, i can take a look

 

yeah i noticed that it squeak most of the time when the car is cold...

yeah i'll try to play around with the intake again. coudnt unscrew the thing that hold the intake to the car. last time i tried. so i'll try it again this wednesday and/or friday.

i wish i could go to scion night... damn seriously 5mins walk from my place... ahahahaha

 

great fitment and clearence with injen intake

only squeaking i noticed was when stationary between two cars and turning the wheel back and forth. havnt heard any while driving yet.

 

I'm glad it fits fine! Cool

...just a tad jealous though sigh.

 

Stock - good
TRD - (should be) good
Injen - good
Weapon-R - good
Descendant - good w/ slight modifications
Fujita - ??
Takeda - ....sorry biglilsteve, hopefully Scion202 can find the fix!

 

DESCENDANT CAI:
I have about 1 finger clearance no squeeks, vibrations, or noise.

 

thats clean man. i think even more clearance than mine...weird we have the same setup

any modifications?

 

^x2

 

i think i know what he did. so he put the washer first, then the blue pieces. then the bolts. am i right mr. black mamba? i just thought

of that yesterday. will do it on friday.

 

Yes I did. I also removed the screw with the rubber that came with the descendant intake and put the oem screw with washers to sandwich the tab that protrudes from the lower part of the intake to alow the intake to move with the engine.

 

okay ima what you did on the washer thing. ang ill definitely gonna remove the screw with rubber. lolz

 

I think all those that missed out should consider buying my strut bar

 

^lol...

oh yeah. no more problem on strut bar now.

 

That's good for you

 

Idk if I'm just missing it, but I remembered kid posting a link to a simple install guide in this thread and now I can't find it...

 

Check out his build thread. He's got a pretty nice table of contents in his OP

 

first page of my build thread (link in my sig) is all layed out with everything i do.

go to Mod list->Suspension->Cusco->Install

but i'll just be nice...
