ive got a few things i hope you guys can help me out with.... ive got an 02 with the vvti i4.
1. does anyone know where i can get the cai extension for my i4? i know they only make it for the v6 but ive been told i could buy another piece and it would fit.
2. i got a factory matched woodgrain kit for the solara and the stuff didnt match. i liked the darker wood anyway and was wondering if any of you guys knew where i could find some of the oem woodgrain from an earlier solara with darker wood.
3. NOS.... is it safe, worth it? will it shortne my engine life if it is seldom used?

thanks for your help guys.... i really appreciate it and im lookin forward to makin my solara even better with your help. for pics check out http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2088354/1. thanks guys

1. You can get it from RJ @ UPFD or visit www.upfd.com to contact them. . . You need to buy and angled coupler so it will fit

2. Probably factory or if you can find another website that has different ones for sale

3. NOS is only safe if you have the internals to back it up and yes it will shorten your engine life but it also depends on how much you are using

exactly.. Nos is safe when used correctly also... a wet shot is better than a dry shot

the reason for that is that the nitrous is shot into the cylinder w\ fuel... it has less chance of dipping lean but could still happen
Parting out my car!!! great upgrades for sale!
