Intalled my "cia" today.

I finally took the time to make a cold air intake for my car... well i fabricated one to fit. I bought one of those "ebay short ram intakes" and put it on my car. It helped out on top end but laged on the bottom end but overall worth the $36 shipping and all. I poped the hood one day and noticed that the short ram intake was hot to the touch. I need something to draw air from outside the engin compartment. So I got a "ebay special" honda prelude kit and fabed it to fit down into the bumper. I gave it some test runs tonight and drove it about 20-30 miles and poped the hood afterwords and the intake was much cooler to the touch. I did notice more top end power than before. I hit 124 on a stretch that i normally hit 119-120 on and other minor differences. Its not much of a change but Im happy with the results. Every lil bit counts... plus ive only spent 90 bucks ont the setup and it still looks good.

I'll try and post some pics if anyone is interested.

If you put your intake down into your bumper be sure to get a bypass valve so u dont suck water into you engine. I got to make some adjustments but ill post some pics asap.

Yeah i called the FBI and the MIB ... there comeing over to discuss ways to destroy every honda on the road. :evilbat:
