I just raced a Lancer 2002(the racing type) and a 91 CRX(intake,headers,exaust). All 3 of us raced at the same time, it was a very close race. i think the Lancer won. I couldnt tell cause we were so close maybe 3 feet in front of me. The Crx was about a foot in front of me. well i came in 3rd, i am happy cause my 240SX is only a 90 and only has an ****ty exaust and i kept up with them. Itz maybe cause i am a good driver lol. oh oh and on take off my tires were turned to the right and i didnt kno lol and i almost hit the Crx on take off lol, damn i could have won if i didnt make that mistake.

well i sorta believe you now... pantyhose? dude... you know that's not good at all for you egine right? filters are desgned for mare than filtering out dust and ****... it filters out moisture as well... go get a k&n filter... but sounds like a decent race none the less...

Dude, just get a K&N. That new engine will get messed up if you keep it that way.

If you're talking about a drop-in filter, not much. You might see a better idle and gas mileage. As for a cone filter, those make enough power to show up on the dyno.

Drop-ins are $40-$50, depending on how well you shop.

Cone filters are usually $50 and you need an adaptor for the mass air flow sensor. Most people buy full intake systems though.

I'd just get the drop-in if I were you, it's better than nothing.

Besides getting hydrolock in your engine will surely break something (rods, Pistons, block etc), just because your too lazy to get a real filter..

I think the Lancer is lucky to break 17 seconds. The CRX is in the same ballpark.

Either way, not bad for a car that wears pantyhose... LMAO:D

Well my car doesnt wear Pantyhoses anymore lol. I took them out. Pretty soon when i get a job imma buy a spoiler,intake,a better exaust and some headers. Well today i had my brotehrz Saturn 94 (twin cam). I raced a 90 Civic si and a 96 Integra LS, and i won in the saturn. Damn i didnt know that the Saturn was that fast lol. On wednesday hopefully we get a lot of people to race(anyone in Sacramento CA area want to join??), and hopefully someone will bring a camera so we can record it. Oh and bikes race too.
