No..haven't had the money to fill up my bottle, or the time..

I think I may have a damaged plug wire, so I gotta order new ones thursday, i will also be filling up my bottle thursday..

I'll do a pass or two, check the plugs..call it good

install the autometere a/f and nitrous pressure gauges i just got in, put the posi in, along with the gears, and then off to a dyno to get tuned correctly..

then i'll be making more passes..

This was a garage job, my buddy helped me out quite a bit with it.. ran the lines, wiring, wired it up for me (i don't know car wiring for ****) and we swapped the plugs with the NGK TR6's..

I'll probably be relocating the bottle when i send the car off to my audio shop..they'll be re-doing my box, along with an amp rack, i want my bottle close to my back seat so i can pull the seat down and turn it on..

A 30 box and a 18 pack later..and this is what we have

lol nah.. first initial of my first name, and then my last name..

First names Aaron last names Howeth.. pretty much..if you see someone in the US driving around with HOWETH plates on...or you know someone with my last name..they are probably related to me somehow..

Where'd you get that sub box, or is it custom? I'd love to shove another sub in my trunk.

Its custom.. The are 10s.. so if you've got 10s then ya..

I'll be heading back to the audio shop for a new setup..amps flush mounted where the spare used to be.. and a new box..this one will be for sale for fairly cheap..

And ya...I should be filling the bottle up this thursday and seeing what happens hopefully I'll be able to get a video up of the purge, and then some videos of track runs..

You know, me and a buddy did it..

Running the lines wasn't bad at all, with the lines its mainly where you want to place your solenoids..

The wiring wasn't too bad but when you start putting in switches ect, you kind get lost in the wiring, so its easier to just do one thing at a time.. it killed us because we were already..impaired.. and accidently hooked up the two nitrous solenoids together..luckily we caught it ..had to fix that.. ect..

Spark plugs are a pain in the ***, because on the 6 they sit on the sides..and in kind of hard to reach places..but i think i've figured out a trick for those..

TBH total time installing it was probably 4 hours...I spent some time covering up wires, trying to make it a little neater.. so i'll tack on an extra 4 for that..

Difficulty..isn't too bad..to me the wiring was the hardest part..
