laugh at me, i did not install it. i was wondering why my sard intake setup would not mate w/z32 maf the way it was installed. came on nico looked at other peoples setup and bam!!! the direction of the airflow of the maf was the opposite. would this make much difference anyways? it could explain low idle at startup. would it effect hp?

Dude you suck I wish I could pick one of those up over here. Finding one is hard and when you do find one they want close to 5000 grand for it.

Maybe I will stick a CA in an old opel or something.

I just picked up some Veilside rims (hopefully they get here this time I had two Advans stolen from the mail) and a sidedraft adapter for the CA. My wife is going to kill me

I found an intake manifold that will allow me to run two sidedraft mikuni/solex/weber carbs on the CA18.
