  • CAI pix/experiences

    Ok, so i modified a -95 mands/redz fwi to fit my 96 and all i have to do is some welds and some other stuff. i really hate to post another air intake topic, but i cant find much luck searching for what i want to know since there are so many uninformative threads about them. i'll list out my questions (most are mostly 94-96 gp dohc specific but not exaclty). thanks for any help. hopefully we can make some sort of diy sticky. if there is an obvious thread i should look at it, let me know.

    1) what have you done to the fender brace? cut it out/remove it/other
    2) where to put the horns
    3) where to put the washer reservoir

    well for the 2 and 3, just move the horns anywhere! my MC has them in the front of the radiator. but you can put them anywhere in the engine. like behind the headlights.
    for the wiper tank, you can buy a reservior relocation kit from discount auto. they are near the trans coolers. i got one from a olds cutlass cause it is slightly diff and designed to work for a W body.

    as for the fender brace? im not sure what your talking about 100%, if your talking about the bar that goes from the strut tower to the forwar fender, you should just keep it on. it adds alot of stability to the car.

      The washer fluid tank now sits where the A.I.R. pump use to be, and the brace your talking about, I imagine that as long as you keep half of it in there it should offer enough support. By the looks of your pictures you may have done that. I can't really tell.
