Say whatever you want about the speakers, there loud, clear and I like em. :)
I installed my k&n Apollo kit this morning, ran it from the air filter box straight to the bottom where it's just visible from outside. Cold air made a bigger difference than I thought.. Any negative opinions on that? Go hard :)
For all you haters, the HIDs will be in soon.
Your going to love reading through this a couple years from now :thumbsup:
Good luck with the HID's :)

Its amazing how many Hondas die of hydrolock. The intake just has to get covered with water for a fraction of a second to suck in a fatal amount of water.
Sure, your driving habits may make it perfectly safe, my intake is kinda low also. But my car is only driven WHEN I WANT TO.
So, if this position suits you, and your driving habits. Go for it son.
But if this is a daily driver, consider getting the intake a little higher.... It'll still work higher. Maybe even a tad better with a shorter intake...??!!
Just a few things to consider...
A H22 requires an air intake of around 40 litres a second. @ 5000 RPM
And needs less than 5 teaspoons of fluid among that 40 litres per second of air to totally destroy a motor FOREVER. (no hope of a rebuild)
But, as I said befor. If these facts work in ok with your driving habits. Feel free dude.
the worst thing is when peple post up stories that they've heard or have read somewhere.Quote:

My old DC4 had a DIY CAI and sat very low in the front bar. car was 9cm to the ground and on my first engine (after 2 -3 weeks of getting it and my red p's in newcastle) i had no way to avoid a massive puddle (more like a pond) and water went up and over my bonnet 9big splash). the car ran rough for about 2 weeks (just getting the car i didnt know much about it) and finally the bottom end bearing gave up. that was an expensive fix.Quote:

What i find is that theairbox is sort of drawing air from that low area anyway, so if you remove the foglight cover it should be drawing cold air anyway.Quote:

If anyone knows of someone selling headers and exhaust suited for the h22a could you let me know :) I want to start looking at prices. Also, any suggestions on what air/pod filter I should get? I currently have the stock air box.
