You Sunk My Battleship

I don't need em I was just gonna tell em to bake em and paint the housings instead of buying new ones. Oh wait......I did but he was too busy arguing.

i think we "sunk his battleship" so to speak
and i'd still like to know where comparing our incomes came from

we painted my friends headlights last week, turned out pretty darn good. i have my old headlights for my civic that i think i'm gonna try it on... then i'll prolly give them away on here since my gf's buying my car and she'll never want to take the projectors off

dude chill, this is not a praise thread... it's an opinion thread. if all you wanted is praise than you are in the wrong place

x 10.. hehe.. when u post pics.. u have to expect the good and the bad opinions... hehe.. not everyone is gonna like your ride.

although im not a fan of your "front mount intercooler-type" intake.. as long as you like it then thats all that matters

honest opinion i think something doesnt look right.. either the rims are too small... hmm.. or the ride is too high... exterior is lookin coo tho

like i said before, i dont mind "constructive critisism" but he just took it to a personnal level from his first reply and on. i agree, the car needs about an 1.25" drop, im not interested in some amatuer lowering springs that are almost "universal fit". full prof. tein suspension with shocks isnt exactly pocket change. not interested in manually removing my front lip via pavement thrash either so a 2" drop would be stupid, camber kits dont come cheap either. i had a short ram intake on the car before FM, i noticed a big difference, esp in the winter time so i kept it, why toss something that works b/c people think is ricey?

this is handlebar's take on fm cai's, he knows more about cars than you and i put together will ever learn

actually, those intakes kill performance. the piping is so long and constricted to get the filter out front th ere that theres more restriction in the pipe than a stock intake, and theres no more cool air o ut front of the car t han there is in the wheel well.

...which explains the dyno results. wait, no it doesnt

well.. as far as drop goes.. i dont know why you dont jus get a set of Tein S-techs for now.. they cost what? $120? throw those in... the ride is great (SI shocks are pretty damn good actually)... your height will be brought down a lil not huge camber problems, the ride will feel about the same, a lil more response when driving... and it only costs you a little... then.. when you get the money for full suspension, jus throw that in too, sell the used S-techs for what? $80-90? hehe.. your not really losing out much... but i guess thats jus IMO...

as far as the intake... i guess it works... because its overall a cold air intake (which obviously is why you felt a difference than the short ram) , but i cant see how it would get more gains than letsay an injen or an AEM because of the way the air travels.. like a L shape from the FM up... and with it in the front like that, its prone to crap flyin in like who knows.. bugs.. dirt.. rocks.. i dunno.. jus doesnt seem logical to me. but who am i.. hehe..

here's your proof, dyno was run in august and b/c it was so f**king hot, the results werent as good as can be, like i said, works better in winter time and on the street

$lick Rick · Jun 16, 2004

i still want to see these "phantom" dyno results
if you bring dyno results up as proof then i'd just expect you to actually have dyno results to back it up

*edit* i never pretended to be the expert on these, so lets pm handle and see what he says

you must have missed the part about the removable debri shield.

just waiting on a response from handle

hehe.. no i didnt. but thats what i mean. its not functional. yea it might be functional with the debris shield, but then your not getting the gains you want... and with it off, then we're back to having crap fly in... either way you look at it... it jus doesnt make sense.

the ONLY reason i can see buying that intake.. is for looks.. and for the fake-turbo look too.. which is why Arospeed even made those.

you could get a regular cold air intake and get possibly (90% sure) better gains than your current setup... and not have to worry about debris shield/no debris shield...

yea, dont talk about things that defy your intellect, todd

or just get a sri which has better low/mid rpm gains then cai's
