That's excellent.
glad you agree--Good moods and Geodon does wonders!

Pretty self-absorbed to think that you are the only one that gets "followed around", isn't it?
No one is particularly interested in "discrediting" you (at least I'm not - I'm not interested in the individual, just the idea). But you have to be willing to stand up for what you assert.

cant stand--i dont have any legs

Doesn't it? Those of us that spend a lot of time with these things have to deal with that all the time. Its a lot of work back up your ideas and the things you assert.
wait! have you had too much to drink--you do know you agreed with me? I'm dizzy! Help me someone---.

That statement is probably a good indicator of why you are having such a hard time with all of this.
There is no "certain vendor" that has taken this on. Its just me. You said it yourself in the opening statement.
Hard time with what?

"I'll continue to clean up after you, whether or not it does you any good."

I guess that kind of sums it up. Thank God I have Mazda Maniac cleaning up the mess's I made.Whether or not it does me any good. The forum is certainly blessed to have such a "father figure" around. Wow Mazda Maniac is a member of Big Brothers!!! This changes everything!

Yall have fun--to my friends you now have my e mail etc --if I can help anyone just give me a holler.

WTF?

What the hell is going on in here? I woke up this morning to find my perenially empty inbox full of PMs from Charles Hill, Jeff, some guy going by Night-something-or-another,
Bastage, a bunch of others all with BHR logos, all accusing me of providing the car in this video with a copy of the map off my car which I downloaded off a torrent site known for pics of girl/girl hotness, apparently accidently uploaded when the chick **** was downloaded, threats of being hung by *patented* ignition harnesses with NGK trailing plugs stuck up me bum, and whether or not there should be a generalized boycott of all lesbian **** sites (like, right, thats gonna happen ), among other issues too lengthy and less interesting to cover here, most of which had to do with actual car stuff...something about superchargers, it'll take me a while to sort it out.

And where the hell's Denny?

It was my fault and I'm not just sayin! Sorry guys! Really am.

Beatle Juice, Beatle Juice, Beatle Juice -- whoops -- wrong name. Don't anybody invoke the other name that shall not be repeated for fear of flame hell and I think all will be alright.

Check out my youtube video of Hot Import Nights dyno pull too -- Its been posted before, but its still a goodie even though my car only made 250rwhp.

Now cold air is ok if it is delivered to the filter--Juan tried a true cai once and had to abandon it because of abberant a/f's readings.
here is a formula for getting the surface area of a cone
get the surface area of the base --surface area of the base is equal to pie R2 , the lateral surface area is = to pieRslant height of the cone --add the 2 and that is the surface area.
Some one want to try?
olddragger
hey guys, I have the same K&N also and love it, I could not find a good deal on ebay so I found a discount coupon here: K&N RF-1033, or you can try one of the vendors on the forum here, you can usually find a good deal that way as well. This was very easy to install and I love it.

Just keep those trailing plugs away from me, Charles

Just sayin, man, just sayin

(Note: the above post was made totally with tongue in cheek humor. It was in no way meant to offend any person living or dead.

OK, well, maybe one

But not you, Charles

If anyone else doesn't mind, I'd like to get back to our regularly scheduled forum...

Thanks guys. This thing is cherry. Owned by a detail/car show addict who only drove it to shows on Sundays.

No joke

Moon, going through it right now; the OBX header has a leak; don't know if its the header or the gasket, but it's going away. The O2 sensor mount is wierd and throws the a/f readings off. I got the stock header with the car, so as soon as it's jet coated, its' going on. Once I'm satisfied all the basics are up to spec, Moon, we'll put a blower in this baby.

Rims are nice, but this car understeers compared to my other one.Oh well, all things in time. Nice to have these kind of "problems"

There was some interesting things going on a few dozen pages ago in regards to fabbing CAIs for our kit. As far as I know, only 2 or 3 of you guys have done this(correct me if i'm wrong. I haven't been on the forum for a while).

For those that have, is there any consensus on whether there are improvements(more accurate MAF, cooler temps, higher flow, etc...)

If so, what is the easiest way to make my own?

If you start posting 370+ MAF readings, you get turbo-trolled.....
(update: I only posted a 365 one, highest MAF I have seen was 374)


My ($90.00) cold air works good, with massive MAF readings, but mine wouldn't be good for rain or puddles of standing water on the road.
I bought two OBX 3.5 inch mandrel bends and cut them to length, then used two Turbonetics 3.5 x 2 inch hose connectors to hold them together and to my MAF.
My filter (8.5 Long x 5 Diameter ) now lays on the plastic "tray" in front of the inter-cooler.

If you dig back to right before the massive trollfest, you can see the pics of the MAF readings.


Here's the 365 MAF reading from earlier:

Cold air idea

Here are a couple of shots, I will make more when the humidity goes down outside (camera fogs). I am also planning on insulating the cold air tube with sticky backed DEI stuff soon.
The path is not perfectly straight (yet), but straightening will require cutting the hole (more than I did) on the plastic tray and it is possible I need to enlarge the hole in front firewall where the VFAD went.

/Since it works pretty well as is, it's not a high priority to straighten.
