in what ways does this have any reference to the thread? from now on comments like this will be ignored and if needed reported to the moderator.

I can help with the title of the thread: Is you a low baller? too cheap to buy proven parts? Automotive performance taste on an antfarm budget? Check out the R18 Autozone rice isle intake - 30 cabillion horsepower y0!

Secret code for: I'm too cheap and broke to get a digi cam, let me see if my homies got my back

cheap or expensive parts dont matter it just feels good working on ur car and doing something different. there is nothing wrong with tuning ur car to keep a good performance. both fg's are great cars but if great speed is ur goal you got urself the wrong car. the k20 is faster than r18 but u can only go so far in speed with this cars. so whenever u top ur speed what do u do, get a faster car? swap engine? so why dont just get a lambo in the first place oh yeah can't afford it.

same thing as if u were saying why did u get the fg1 u should of bought an fg2 because is faster. (this is just a thought for the people making fun of small projects like this) anyways good job and good luck with ur car

Mother ******.... What's with all this bashing on how "Cheap" the OP is?

He tried something different, and to my knowledge, no different from X. The guy is experimenting so why waste tons of money for nothing when essentially he is in the "research and development" stage.

Keep doing what your doing dude and be the next X for us R18ers...

I think its fun to experiment on your car, and try something different.

This is a copy of what x did for the fg2. So why are you taking the credit.

This isn't anything close to what X did. X did R&D testing using a dyno, did head to head dyno pulls vs known products, made a jig to machine the MAF housing to improve flow, researched the best air filter for his intake.

This guy bought a cheap autozone rice isle air filter, although K&N filters are readily available, cut the stock MAF housing out of his air box and modified his air box lid so he can fit his butt dyno proven intake into the stock air box.

Did the OP **** your girl?

***Zeuceone*** · 11-03-2007, 09:41 PM

I know that its nothing close but tried to make it just the same way. Without any kind of dyno to prove that your actually helping the car and not makeing it run bad you shouldn't be offering out to any one.
