Dees, I felt your perverted eyes hovering over my shoulder as I typed my reply to the lovely lady, was EXTRA careful to watch my words, didn't need you or bionic queer to jump in and totally rape me!!! haha, foiled again, those dastardly infinity guys!!! I hope you got your braces out though, last time i put it in your mouth, you ripped a sh*t load of pubes out last time! OUCH!!!
LOL, you guys are cool, ok, back to car upgrades.
(don't mind mine and dees' warped sense of humour PLEASE)
240gurl, I'm actually in the process of building an extension for my air filter, I want to extend it into the front bumper of my vehicle, instead of sitting in the engine bay. I haven't really begun yet, although I know exactly what i am going to do, I kinda hacked up my air filter so I may need a new one to prevent water from getting into the throttle body. If I sell it, I'll let you know. Parts for my extension were all purchased at home depot for about $20
Air intake was not very costly at all-
$25 for adapter (although I heard people making their own adapters from home depot materials, you may be able to cut this cost, I can ask around and see how its done). $25 isn't too bad, and the piece I got is nice, fits snug, worth the cash IMO.
$40 for a 3" cone style intake - I used a generic filter, looks great, makes noise I'm sure, but it is muffled by my muffler. Can get a smaller one for $25-$35
$65 total, took me about an hour and a half to install, I didn't realise i had to extend the temp. sensor, so thats why it took so long. I can install one now in under an hour.
Parts were all ordered at Pacific mall, right around the corner from my place. You can probably get them cheaper if you order online or shop around, but I liked the convenience of pac mall. I don't really believe in spending $400 for 4HP, although shiny metal pipes do look nice in the engine bay, not worth it IMO.
Hey, come to think of it, there are usually meets every Wednesday at Leslie and York Mills. Its actually a Civic si club meet, but us 240 guys crash their party and hang out with them. I think they get intimidated by the 240, nothing but attitude, but i just mingle with the Nissan dudes, so I could care less what is being said under their breathes. I'll put up a post and see if any of the boys are going tonight, I only went once, but wouldn't mind swinging by to share my experience at the track with the fellas (and lady hopefully). There were alot of civics out on the track, some of which are probably part of this club.
I'll be the judge of whether you can dance or not! :P j/k, you really don't wanna see twinkle toes (your truly) on the dance floor after a few good ol' Canadian beers!!!

its funny, you may actually wanna see me dance after all
p.s. - I like the no spoiler look personally. Give me some details on your ride (year) and I'll let you know if i have parts for you. If you come out tonight, I can also give you a quick description on how to install an intake by yourself, its really easy and sounds great. Also improves the sound of your exhaust.
