Thanks man!

Yeah, you missed out! A Ferrari crashed the Volvo part. Haha.

And for those that want beastly fog lights, I found Blazer Fog lights, which ARE HID ready, and wide as hell!

These would be great upgrades for anyone that doesn't have fog lights and for those that want to upgrade their stock foglights!

Gah. Now it wont go off

Edit:

Went off, then back on. After I cleared the codes I got 141 again. So obviously that's the one that's the problem, so now, how to fix it.

I just ripped off all the few stickers I had on the car, they all go on my tool chest instead. Going for a as much of a stock look as I can.

nice shots though.

All the stickers are going on for the "Oh hai azn dood, you drive da honda?" stereotype. hence, the JDM@Heart sticker, haha. I put the Kerropi one on the front mirror just to copy the Rally Pig sticker.

Have some patience when putting the pipe down the front in between the fan and alternator/compressor. It's a super tight fit. and take your time when routing the hot side right before the intercooler. You have to get a 90* coupler right between the subframe and the accumulator, and getting a clamp in there sucks.

Also, make sure you get a silicone reducer from the turbo to the intercooler piping. If you got 2.25" piping you need a 2" to 2.25" reducer. The OEM rubber coupler sucks especially with the aftermarket piping that has the lip on the ends of the pipes, you will have a VERY hard time getting it tight. I blew that hose off right as soon as I hit boost, and it's pretty important to use T-Bolt clamps on all of the pipes, at least the ones do not have the lip at the end of the pipes. I am using some worm clamps on some of the pipes, but only ones that have the lip.

good luck

Told you. I struggled with that one for a long time until I found the path I wanted to take.

Where did you go though? I'm taking apart my wiring harness protector thing to help pass it though so it/s not stressing everything.

The top part of the pipe goes down on the driver's side of the oil dipstick tube and the bottom part comes out right by the accumulator.

Do you have any pics with them installed on your car? I've seen them on eBay before, but I wasn't sure how they would look on the 850. The mounting brackets seem a little ghettofabulous.
