Thumbs up new guy

was up, i just got my P5 last week and i love it. i used to drive a 93 eclipse GSX so there's definatly a power difference but i like the P% in everyother catagory. i got a sliver one with every goodie except the 6-disc cause i'll be swapping that out. i don't know if there's a 02 1/2 or if i got a 03 but they just got this style in like a week before i bought it and the new style doesn't come with polished rims but i figured its no biggie as i will be swapping those out also.

thanx for not asking if i have a disease and knowing the laitn meaning. by the way since i do want to learn and the whole n/a route is completly new to me. are there any free mods i can do? such as removing any silencers and has anyone gone the route of making a CAI instead of payin to much for a store bought one. i am goin to make one myself i was just wondering if there are tips to be known before i handle this task by myself. also, it seems that there is some sort of ghetto ram air devise that goes from the grill over the radiator to the intake. i figure the air isn't to cool since its goin over the radiator but i wann try and fix that. all help will be appreciated

I have made my own CAI with a scoop underneath the car. It works great. I made it from parts I got a the junkyard, it cost me $4.00

Dude, I happen to have a dear friend that is SERIOUSLY into wolves....she would SMACK me if I EVER made that mistake! lol

do a search on CAI and you will find more information than you could dream of....sure a lot of the threads are going to be discussions about one vs the other....but there are some out there about building your own as well.....quite a few people have done it.
