Re: New chick with new Si
Thanx... I will definately be asking you "what does this do?" and "what does this mean?" or "What does this stand for?" I stumped the guy at the Honda dealership. I asked him out of nowhere "What does Si stand for?" He just laughed but never answered the question.

OMG! My lying fiance told me that he was gonna put an intake in it and when I asked "what is it?" he told me that it was something that was gonna save me a lot of gas... but then again he was smiling too. He said that cuz I told him I didn't want anything unnecessary added to the car. I'm about to kick that punk's *** in a second.
BTW thanx for informing me. It's butt kicking time.

Re: New chick with new Si
haha whoops!!! jerry springer already.... the intake will only lower gas milage if you "use" it... meaning if you always step on the gas pedal to the floor, which iwas doing... so if you normal drive, you'll be fine... if your like im bored and step on it... its gunna growl... GRRR!!!!!!!!

Re: New chick with new Si
Si doesn't have a "meaning." Its basically a "trim level." Like DX, LX, EX, Si. They basically represent differences between body styles, power windows, mirrors, sunroof, motors, etc., so there's no real meaning. He probably had no idea though, lol.
As far as an intake goes, with the way most women drive, I doubt you'll notice a difference in fuel consumption. Usually it removes air restrictions into the motor. When you are allowing more air into the motor, the Mass Air Flow Sensor will see a rise in airflow and will increase fuel to compensate. But that's more at full throttle-midrange and in the top end when you're using the powerband anyways.

LMAO, don't sweat it. Basically if you're getting on it all the time, you'll burn alot of gas no matter what. An intake isn't going to hurt the car's fuel economy enough for you to notice.

If you're really interested in learning about engines, check out www.howstuffworks.com
There are a ton of informative articles that break it down into abc's.
As for the intake, I wouldn't waste money on it, too overpriced for not enough gain. But it all depends on you. What do you want out of the car in 6 months, a year? What is your ultimate goal?

Re: New chick with new Si
CAI=Cold Air Intake
It gives the engine a more "agressive" sound. You can hear the air entering the filter. I like the sound of a spooling turbo and a nice loud bov better hehe. I can't even hear my intake, lol.
They go for roughly 200 for a name brand. Nah, you won't get pulled over, it isn't illegal.

Well sure no one is going to argue that a turbo isn't the hot ticket.
But there is a reason 80% (my guess) of the people on these forums either have or plane to get a CAI or Short Ram Intake.
They sound ****ing awsome!

Re: New chick with new Si
and its cheap and ez... to do.. in my opinion, i like it better than exhaust... exhaust is like always on... intake is like an on and off switch... all the down, on... normal drive... off
Re: New chick with new Si
Nah, I'd do a little checking and see what combinations of intake header and exhaust give best performance gains. Unless you're just going for looks and sounds, then who cares, really, just buy what's cheap, lol.

Honda's are great cars! No doubt about it; I'm the one that told her to get the SI, if I wasn't a suby guy, I would've got me an S2K. I respect all cars who can run low "11s" with me. . .
Leg humping? haha, how do you think i got her to marry me? lolz Thanks for the welcome, seriously though, give us some tips to make her car go fast. . .- Rush
Re: New chick with new Si
Seriously, the only drawback to the 06 si is engine management. Its got drive by wire so its a major pain to get past that. I have a friend that has a greddy kit on his and he's tuning with emanage ultimate. Not the best system to use but on that car, its all that's available.
Re: New chick with new Si
haha you shouldnt post your pic of youself, esp. on this site. why you think suzy thinks half these guys are douchebags lol..... besides me lol
