am i going to far too fast??

hey all. i took off the front grill and replaced it with gutter wire, took the first intake hose into the engine off and believe it or not noticed a difference. im going to git a k&n air filter and was considering taking a hose somehow from the second air filter box to the lower grill for a forced air effect. i am really new to any kind of dealings with any kind of vehicles if ya couldnt tell already, but it seems like a waste the way hot the air gits into the engine from behind the headlight, and i figure there are so many of these cars marketed to such a huge demographic that most people dont even care nor want better performance. anywayze, if i do this is it going to f up my shiz? is there anything that could happen where they would laugh at me and say my warranty is voided if everything is replaced before they see it? am i in over my head? this site rox. so far ive got mad ideas from it and my driving experience which is often is sweet az hell now. any input is appreciated. also, anyone interested in making the sub box for the trunk, it would be really easy to bolt the tire to the side of the board and wouldnt interfere too much with the sound if bolted down right.

First of all, the forced induction of air to your intake would do practically nothing linky ...otherwise I dont know.... I am too tired from studying for finals to read it all again

ok, i think you mean your leaving the air box on the car, and just adding a hose for the air to get from the front grill to the airbox. anyways, it shouldn't do anything provided you still have your air filter to catch all the dust that will get sucked in. and yeah, as long as you replace everything before going to the dealer, it shouldn't be a problem. some cars already have this. i've seen supras and skylines that have an intake that replaces one of the headlights, and replaces it with a funnel of sorts that connects to the intake. just yours will be a bit more ghetto

when one can't read the safety labels, one tends to inhale anything that makes one feel well. thus verbs elude; neurons that otherwise would be accessible by the cerebrum are often only vaguely accessible such that verbs appear as ghosts in a dream to what we in this instance may refer to as the pseudo-user. i do not think english lessons will do anyone well. although i for one as well am offended by this new ebonic typing style. the message often is misconstrued and necessary information becomes blocked and distorted by something called "flavor". scurry scurry, it aint no chicken and waffles. thank you however for your friendly banter; i must now find my ****ie any croquet mallet.

well, 4bangin sounds like a raver thing. and you are right, they are gay, which is why i didnt go, but i was wondering if you maybe knew that crew, cuz id play for them for some rims or something. nothing gay however about walking into a warehouse with 2000 people on drugs waiting to hear your beats and the promoters then letting their girls bang you at your hotel because your draw just bought them a car. in fact, its very heterosexual, most ravers are gay and shady though this is true which is why i am more interested in doing rock shows lately and hangin out with rockstars and driving them around.

anyways, i feel like i should put some kind of filtering material where the hose meets the body to keep moisture and debris out, anyone have any suggestions? i was thinking a piece of a fiberglass furnace filter.. well, here we go...

lol nice white. i am a community college dropout. ill try to keep the shizzy speak on the dizzy-lo. good lookin out.

i got this done so far and its smooth now. when i am done, ill post a profile and whatnot w/ pix. the total project took about 17$. i am going to probably set up 2 intakes where the fog light spaces are. right now its hangin out the front of the car in front of the right tire and does look ghetto. it doesnt perform ghetto, however. in fact it feels like my old 94 accord before i crashed it. i forget the specs on it but i knew it was better in general. thanks all who helped out. good ta meet ya too!! keep it surreal.

dude, i apoligize. i wasnt meaning gay as in homosexual, i meant raves just dont fly with me. i throw the word gay around quite a bit and i know it isnt right but oh well. i can understand if you spin or whatever at raves cause it seems like pretty good money and it beats working at mcdonalds. i just dont attend them. if a hot import nights ever comes aorund, check out the after party, it seems like somehting you might be interested in. they are called "dances" but usually turn out to be raves basically. oh ya, and hook up the link provided above and keep your sentence structure on top of its game, people respond better to that.

Remember that thread a long time ago, "Who has the worst grammar on the site" .... I think we have a winner. I do not understand half of what he has written.

ok. ill tone down the record deal shpeak. sorry.

so i skipped the filter and it rained, and my transparent hose had some moisture in it. fortunately its about as heavy as it rains here and i am going to check out if any more moisture got further in when i wake up.. my friend made me some tea and the tea strainer would make a great filter for the front of the intakes when i put them in the fog light spaces. if anyone knows anyone in this country (or holland..) that cross promotes rave parties and car shows in any way, or where i could find information on that type of thing, let me know. one of my artists knows bt's studio "assistant", but i know just about anyone in electronic music from the underground talented to people with whom trent reznor has shared ideas with. if anyone knows anyone that is involved with honda's advertising development teams, that would be nice too

sincerely,

Dr. Napalm
