Relaxed 5 Project
For those of you that have built a show car in a short period of time, you know how stressful it can be. After taking almost 2 years to build my last car, which at the time I thought was too fast, I have given myself 5 months to build this one. So I guess you can say the last few months have been VERY stressful. Its always fun to work a full weeks work, with overtime and still have time to work on the car. Don't forget that there still has to be time to spend with the wife and kid and get a few hours of sleep a night. Even though all this seems to be a lot, the joy of spending time doing a hobby you truly enjoy is all worth it in the end. I know there are a lot of you out there that feel the way I do. After a long day at work its fun to come home and turn a wrench or two or run a few wires. If your taking the time to read this then evidently your one of those people that eats sleeps and breaths custom rides the way I do. Even though things have been crazy the past month, I've still managed to round up a few more sponsors that have decided to help out with the Relaxed5 Project, Katzkin Leather Interiors, Carolina Trim Shop, Skunk2 Racing and Bosal Performance. I have finally found time to start getting stuff done to the car, too. The leather interior was finished and the headrests had the TV's installed while the seats were out. I also got the cold air intake from Injen and the Zeta kit from CATZ installed. In the next couple of pages you will find tech articles on the intake and the Zeta kit.
INTAKE INSTALL-
The intake I chose for this article is a cold air intake and was provided by Injen Technologies. After removing everything from the box and checking the packing list, you can remove the entire factory intake. This will vary from car to car, but most factory intakes have several pointless air boxes. Make sure you remove all these boxes before you start to install the new intake. The installation of the intake is pretty straightforward. Anyone with basic mechanical skills can handle it.
