red07shelby Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 It looks like the CAI is to close to the shock tower brace . When you accelerate the engine will twist up on the drivers side always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastersmech1 Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 I really like the looks of the light bar. I'm torn on the decision on whether to get one or not as it is all style, no function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy Posted November 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 It looks great on the car MM1. I'm pleased with it and it does offer some protection and strutural stablity to the car. I don't regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnut Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 I really like the looks of the light bar. I'm torn on the decision on whether to get one or not as it is all style, no function. Did you consider building one out of race car tubing and wrapping it with a sculpted backing and a leather cover. Not sure how structural you could make it not known the cars construction and you would have to have some sort of diagonal brace and that will take some engineering as well as major expense me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think the basic light bar does anything structurally. It is nice looking though. :hyper: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have my car yet so I'm not sure on the fix but if there's any way to raise the bar a little that would do it. I wonder if anybody else is having the same problem. What kind of CAI is it?

Tammy Posted November 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 It's a JLT and we just had it put on tuesday night. It was raining so my husband only took it out yesterday and of course invented a run to the store for battery's at lunch today. LOL Others are having this problem. One said they raised the bar using bushings 1/4" and it's still rubbing and like him we are afraid it's going to rub a nice hole in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tucker Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Tammy, I can see by the pics the CAI is way too high. There is lots of adjustment in the unit to lower it from the STB. Have Tony loosen the clamps and adjust it down. Simple fix. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy Posted November 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Tucker, Tony placed it as low as it would go and that's the end result. Dub called tony the next day (wenesday) and Tony's response was it was a protype and he was emailing you about it to see what could be done. Maybe check with Tony when you have time. It's really marred it badly as you can see from the pics i took thrusday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is actually a slight dip in the top half of the pipe that needs to be under the STB. Keep in mind this kit's on a drag car with out this issue. I feel another attempt needs to be made to get it to fit better for you. Feel free to contact me wneh you get it straight. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tammy, with all due respect, You and Cobra8u are the only 2 having the issue (50 shipped this past week), let's not make this out to be more then what it is,and he posted he made the adjustment and made it lower. I loosened the clamps and could adjust the intake down alittle. It looks like it will be OK. I'm still going to leave the shims under the bar. You can't really see them and they don't hurt anything. I understand your concern, but not your action. As I had explained we made this as large as we could, but to still fit under the STB. All you need to do is see Tony and let him make some adjustments to it. I'm not understanding why this is out of the question. If your not satisfied with the fit after Tony adjusts it feel free to return it. You can't ask for much more then that. All I ask is you at least have the adjustments made. Tony emailing me will not fix the problem, he needs to see the car and make the needed adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that drag car, the bar has been removed. Check out the pictures in the following link. I wonder if this is why they took it off? I have a JLT CAI ordered too, from Justin, so I haven't tried to install it yet. http://www.evoperform.com/GT500/9.wmv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could save a lot of headach and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammy Posted November 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Jay, I'm not trying to be ugly. I was just saying that as soon as we noticed the scrub my husband called Tony. (next morning) Tony told him that he lowered it all he could. That's pretty much what you have said since then for us to do is lower it more. According to Tony he did install and lower it all he could. Tony stated to us wenesday he'd email you for more info on a possible fix. Then i posted this infomation for you once on this forum and svt. Your post come across as very upset with me for asking about this. I understand you have shipped many of these and I can't speak for all those you shipped i'm just stating mine has a problem. So did Cobra8. He tried your fix to see if that has helped him but i have'nt seen where he's posted since that it's truely fixed it. I hope it did and it's that simple. I'm not trying to be nasty or anything i'm just looking for a solultion and i'm sure once Tony gets back to work on Monday he'll get with you since he can explain better how it's installed and you can see where adjustments may need to be made on my particular car. I love the piece and think it's beautiful and it's doing a great job. I just don't like it's not fitting correctly and that it's marred and could cause long term damage to the unit by scrubbing a hole in it. I did'nt think posting about it here would upset you so much hopefully we'll get it resolved soon and all will be well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammy Posted November 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Guys this is an awesome piece. You will be highly impressed when you see the quality of it. It does everything it's suppose to and it looks amazing. I'm sure my issue will be resolved the first of the week. It's not a big deal it's just so damn nice its ashamed it's even scracthed up.
