Enjoy :)

[weesh]

Whaaa so many new p-shop photos, thanks Spyder :)

weesh ouT...

[Perma]

Neato pics. Love the one of FireFox's ride alone... with the engine showing "through" the hood. Looks coo

[FIREFOX]

I like them Spyder. Especially the one with my transparent hood...hmmm...that might be a really good hood idea...nah j/k. Didn't I ask you to photoshop the dirt from my back window? I guess you forgot.

[ALS-protege]

wow...nice shots and love the blurr effects...

Man...gotta get pics of my Bike next time man...

And awesome video you posted....that is the first time I ever saw myself ride on video....
Man...our bikes sound like loud scooters......hahahaha...gotta upgrade the muff....

[Mike_Moss]

Nice pics Eric! However I must say that the whole blurred-background thing makes the cars look really fake...like they're toys. I like the first few, and the ones that are individual shots though!

[spincycle]

fack, so grrr that I couldn't make this meet... good turn out AND cops.. sounds like a fun night.

and I need Eric to take PrOOO pics of my ride. Dents and all. ;)

[Davut MSP]

Very nice pics. I love the background blur effects. For some reason, the blur made the cars look like toy models =)

[RicecookerP5]

cool pics. i like em' a lot. great job Eric!

[red-i]

awesome pics. argh.. again i couldn't make it out. i need some spyder pics of my HIDs!!!!

and yeah, that intake don't look like ractive to me either.

[Spyder01]

:D Thanks guys :D Glad to see so many members are still enjoying the pictures :)

Yea, the blurred stuff didn't turn out too well.

Weesh, you said you wanted to do some photoshoping... I"ll PM you later today with the full sized ones without those blurred stuff :)

[Mike_Moss]

Seriously dude, you take some great shots!

I've been meaning to ask you to take some of my car at a meet, but I keep forgetting. :(

[Spyder01]

!! :) :D Thanks Moss! :) Next time you see me, just grab me and I'll take the pic!

[snafu]

The one of YP5 and Romeo turned out the best in my opinion for looking 'mini'. There's a guy in Toronto that is really well known for this kind of photography and you would swear everything is fake. Good job!

[Cocco]

Well thanks for coming out guys...It was abit cold but NO rain!!! I think we will do a Central meet next week....more Central in hope of bringing out more some members...stay tuned I will post on Friday

[MP5rYda]

As usual.. Awesome pics Eric! Just like Alex said, that's the first time I've seen myself on a bike too! Kool! :)

BTW.. I really didn't want to ruin the moment for Firefox, but that isn't a Ractive intake.. the piping and the colour of the silicone couplers are different. But any intake will free up some air still.

[FIREFOX]

Ya, I keep hearing that too...well, just have to ask Jarrod what it really is. That's what he says it is...it could be any brand and I wouldn't know the difference anyway, unless it was stamped on the damn thing, but you guys seem to know your shit better than me. All I do know is that the filter itself is AEM.

Is this a bad thing then, should I take it off and get a better one? Don't want to screw the engine with a bad part.

Comments please or just PM me with your thoughts, sorry, didn't mean to jack the thread fellas.

[RicecookerP5]

I can only see one shot of it, but it looks like an AEM intake for ATX

[Spyder01]

No lol :) Actually anything is better than ractive :) It looks kind of like the AEM SRI for the automatic tranny, but the pipes lengths and couplings looks more like ebay or Vibrant? I've never seen a Vibrant one before, but I heard it looks the same as Ractive except it doesn't knock against the brake cylinder

[FIREFOX]

Hmmm...well that's sort of good news.:o I'm happy with it so far anyway. Still no engine light, but it will prlly happen soon.

[RicecookerP5]

you shouldn't get one, unless your MAF is backwards or you didn't plug the sensor in or something

[Spyder01]

Why are you expecting the engine light? Shouldn't happen... did you reset your car after the install? Some people do it, but others just let the car adjust itself.

[Spyder01]

Ha Ha Ha Ricecooker Wtf Guy! Why You Always Post Half A Second Before Me! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

[Junior]

Not AEM, for sure.

Never seen a Vibrant, so can't comment, but it does fit the eBay look. (I'm trying to say it so I don't sound too much like a prick)

[RicecookerP5]

Ha Ha Ha Ricecooker Wtf Guy! Why You Always Post Half A Second Before Me! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

lol. too slow! :p

[yoshitu]

It came on my car with a Ractive filter, and from what I've seen of Ractive intakes, it looked the part. Mind you, it never rubbed anywhere, and there was lots of clearance against the brake master cylinder, so maybe it's not. The filter is a genuine AEM, and it's not leaking, so I'm sure it'll serve FIREFOX well until he gets a big salty pimp of an intake.

Hey Dennis, if it's not a genuine Ractive, remind me to give you $2 at the next meet as compensation.

[FIREFOX]

Not AEM, for sure.

Never seen a Vibrant, so can't comment, but it does fit the eBay look. (I'm trying to say it so I don't sound too much like a prick)

No worries bro, I've been taking a lot of shots lately, so it doesn't matter, one other shot won't matter.:o

PeacE!

thats not happy!

Cheer up man! That was like the nicest jr has ever put anything :p feel Privileged it coulda been alot worse.

[Pants McGregor]

I know that this is a Ractive.

[Diddy]

Why are you expecting the engine light?

b/c we kept on sayin that it will...

eh yo....did u leave the car running for 5 hours for run-in period when you got home man? haha j/k

nah its not ractive for sure..i had a ractive as my 'winter' intake...definitely different...ractive's piping has a sharper bent around the mbc....the intake u have doesn't...it's either vibrant or no-name brand from ebay...

but really...the real diff. from intakes are the actual thickness/material of the piping..which makes very minimal differences....it's not going to screw up ur engine in any way unless u damage the piping and leaves a hole (thereby causing debris or other shit to get sucked in)...but other than that...u'll be fine

[Junior]

Everyone makes me feel like an asshole..... Shit!

Ah well,

all kidding aside fireface, don't worry about the brand, it's not a huge deal. I was merely pointing it out, not calling you out on it. As other have said, any intake will free up and take in more air, it's all good.

I just pointed it out, so that the next meet you hit up, you won't say ractive and they'll muffle some ish under their breath, like YEA right!

If anyone asks so what do you have under the hood, you simply say "intake", and then they say well what kind? you answer "short ram" ...

Problem solved.

[chronos]

BINGO!

[spincycle]

^^ WTF? How did you manage that?

[RicecookerP5]

John put the piping under his Jacket. A shootout went down in the Eastside and it saved his life

Really? Holy shit! That's crazy! Thank god for Ractive quality. j/k

Damn that would suck(the hole that is)...anyway, it's not currently rubbing against anything. Don't really care anyway, it is temporary. I don't think you're an asshole Junior, never said I thought you were, but if that's how you feel then...maybe you are an asshole and you're in denial? Jokes man.

BTW Junior, did you know it was me that honked at you on York Mills yesterday, you had the look of WTF, who is this guy? My wife thought it was funny, so I was like, I guess he doesn't recognize me. Just remember, I'm the one with the weird lip and stock springs!

PeacE!

Where's my sig, Weesh?

[Mike_Moss]

^ WTF is up with your fonts? You sig is barely legible as well as your posts. :confused:

[FIREFOX]

It's size 1 and comic sans, dude. Don't be confused, not hard to do. Just put your glasses on, or get something bigger than a 15" monitor, you'll be okay. :D

[spincycle]

I have the same no-name/weird intake in my car. No issues, but I will be swapping out the filter for a new AEM Dryflow cause it's just easier to maintain.

[weesh]

Where's my sig, Weesh?

Banner test #2 :)

weesh ouT...

[Junior]

Comic Sans is for fags. So unless you're a fudgepacker, lose it.

No thanks, I like that typeface. As for the fudgepacker part, damn, haven't heard that word in ages. Online or not, you are an asshole and a post whore. LoL :D

[Mike_Moss]

As for your Comic Sans - enjoy!

[Junior]

You forgot pompas, cocky and conceited. Yup i'll whore all over your sister's face with my post.

[yoshitu]

Yup i'll whore all over your sister's face with my post

My sister- she number 2 prostitute in all of Kazakstan...

[FIREFOX]

My sister- she number 2 prostitute in all of Kazakstan...

Do the ladies even shave in Kazakstan??? LMAO:p

Anyway Mike, I owe you an apology, I just got home and noticed that I could barely read it either. It was fine for me at work...weird.

Keanu?
