OK... bare with me... I'm doing attachments on this one so it may take a while to complete~

As you know, the 30th was the 3rd Anniversary of my 40th birthday~ Brenda, aka LadyHawk, hooked me up with some stuff to tune up my Street Princess~ She was well over due and I'm a very bad Daddy for neglecting her so~ But my punishment is a whole nuther story that will not be illistrated on this forum!

Anyhow...

This is what Brenda got me~ You may notice the Brake pads are for one front caliper... the salesman was a DA.. Brenda didn't know any better, and I didn't even catch it until install! It was supposed to be rear brake pads...

... so I opened up my Street Princess and removed the airbox and proceeded to replace the plugs...

... the plugs wern't too bad, but notice how they burnt~ The pic is the order in which they were removed~ The two on the left are a dry burn.. where as the two on the right are more of a wet burn...? Maybe you engine gurus can read me what this tells you?

As all this was going on.. the dirty oil was draining from the pan~ Pretty nasty... I know... I'm a bad pimp daddy!

As long as I had it out... I went ahead and replaced the airbox~ When I first put the BMC in place the top right screw had stripped out from being torqued down WAY to much~ So I had hot glued this section of my filter~ About a year ago I purchased another box from Dave (aka clrwtrbusa.. or however he spells it) and figured it was time since I had to clean out the filter~

Yes, BA... the one Dave hooked me up with even came with a new K&N filter... it will be put in Brenda's Busa when the time comes due...

The BMC cleaned up well.. it's hard to tell in the pic, but there's a nice pile of shiite that it saved from my intake system~
I also couldn't tell the diff between the BMC and K&N filters when they sat side by side.. other then the name stamped on top~

...I ended up with a few spare parts after swapping out the airbox~ Let me know if anyone might be in need of these..

The hat was actually found this past weekend at a yard sale~ It was just too hard to pass up!

No Pops... it's all pretty basic~ The biggest pita about doing the plugs is that you have to remove the airbox to get to them~ And even that really isn't too bad as long as you pay attention to what hoses and plugs you're unpluggin'~ I had done the pair block mod back when I installed the HMFs, so I had less hoses to worry about~

No spare air filter, sorry~ I just cleaned out the BMC and put it back in~ The K&N that came with the other airbox will go in LadyHawk's Busa whenever she hits 10k on her odo~
