nice pics
does your homemade CAI work well?
also, for some reason, I really like those old Preludes. I just like the styling, but I can't explain why.

Yeah it gets down to the cold air...i couldnt get pics of where the filter ended up but it got down to the bottom of the fender, and i modified the black underbody cover to force some air up at the filter while going down the road.

Hehe..my prelude..it had major problems got it for 400 bucks and it was very unreliable and always flooded out. Then it went into a ditch when it was raining and i hit a cement block and all it hit was the wheel, but it bent the frame so it was dead I did end up getting it drivable again but not safely (the CV joint came outa the trans one time! that was interesting )

Got the tubing from home depot...just 3" alumninum ducting.

About the adapter..its the brass colored piece out of the stock airbox. I just cut the 'horn' part of it off with a hacksaw. Doing what i did does require cutting sheetmetal behind the headlight BTW. Other than that...its just kinda do whatever u can to get the stuff in place(it took me a few trials to get it right)

Hey Chris, yea I got mine from place racing but with a nice discount =]. I got the red colored one though. How hard was it for you to put yours in. I thought the pipes would fit more nicely than it did. I had to cut the hole a little bigger than the template that they gave me. Well, yea i like it, CAI are pretty damn cool. Sacrificed the sways and FSTB for that -=T

yeah same here with the hole...i had to cut it a wee bit bigger...im taking it off to clean out my TB and stuff so i'm gonna shape up the hole nicely and see if i can get the piping to fit a little better...i love it though...it looks tight and the benfits are there...i just don't like the look of the homemade intakes...
