to be cheaper b/c im not too rich would u sell it with out the filter b/c i can either buy one or use the one i have
thanks
jack

 

Interested. I would definitely buy one.

 

but obviously i will be first in line

 

I have been thinking about this alot and cutting will most likely have to be done....This causes a serious problem for most of us, either not wanting to cut up our car's, or not having the tools to do so.

I hate to say it, but I don't think this will sell if you have to cut your car up?(or am I wrong?)

But never the less I still have alot of other very good options I can pursue. How about a fiberglass cold air headlight cover simalar to mariah's? I might be able to make a Intake "Kit" that could include the headlight cover, a nice air-box, and a powder-coated intake tube (with optional filter) to replace the one between the TB and MAF.

I'm not bitching out here, I just think it would be much more economical for both you guys and me to find other ways to offer a "cold-air-intake".

So once again what do ya think? If I made that "kit" or one similar to it would it sell?

Thanks,
Patrick

I figure, for YOU a CAI would be more cost-effective than an airbox setup. For a CAI all you'd have to do is bend some pipe. For an "intake kit" there's a lot more fabrication involved. And you know how it is; cost for you, is cost for US.

I vote make a CAI, if someone wants an intake kit, they can go thru mariah. (because it doesn't cost $350)

BTW; I don't know if this is just some bull I heard, but... I was told NOT to use K&N Filters on CAI's, due to the size of the "holes" in the filter (which allows 2x more air) it can suck water faster than a dehydrated camel. Is there merit to this? Or just someone trying to sound smart?

 

I'm interested but i have to see the price

 

hey im interested as well!!!!

 

how much does this mariah dude sell the intake headlight kit.....
and does this kit still work when the headlight in up?

 

mariah(don'tincludethis)motor(orthis)sports.com

And no, the headlight duct is pretty much useless with the lights up.

 

Ok, I still think I can make a "kit" for less than 350.
But If I were to just sell the CAI headlight covers for a good price(fiberglass), would anyone buy one?
I know for sure that I can make these with relative ease.

And I still would like to know if anyone would be willing to cut a hole in there car for a CAI? Or is it not worth it?

 

Always nice to see someone doing something a little extra for fellow rex guys, count me in.

 

Where do you plan on having the hole cut out???? If it's were the wiper fluid tank is, then i wouldn't mind cutting a hole there. Near the radiator might be a little bit tricky. But i would have to see how it would be. But im defenetly interested in a CAI.

LoS

 

I was considering the wiper fluid tank area, but is the wiper fluid somthing you would be able to give up?( I know I use mine very often)

Also I just talked to my Uncle that owns a fiberglass manufacturing campany in Mexico and he agreed to help me with the CAI headlight cover...and mabey a hood!

 

Yeah, I know....I dont know how to spell...give me a break though, I've been awake for around 30 hrs.

 

im pretty interested in both CAI or headlight cover....
why don't u actually make a test car with a CAI and have some pictures on where u cut the holes.....
then we can really say if we want the CAI or not...

 

id like a CAI, the whole headlight cover is BS, the hole wouldnt work over like 20 mph when the air starts to form very high and low pressure areas, if u look at the chart of the RX-7's flow patterns, youll see that the frontal "mouth" area recieves tons of air, so i would suggest locating a CAI in that area

 

Crome sux for clamping rubber hoses to it. Chrome is way too slippery.

 

I'd love to see a high quality CAI as well. Depends just on how much cutting would be required; I wouldn't mind cutting a little bit for sweet CAI. When do you think this can be finished and any word on price?

aaron

 

yeah, I wouldnt mind cutting a little bit if it were worth it. If the headlight kit is pointless with the lights up, then I dont want it, I like to run at night too. (and M5150 was right, that does become a low pressure area) So I say stick with the CAI, and the minimal amount of cutting. Good Luck

 

Ok, I think I'm still going to make the CAI headlight cover for myself anyway and I'm sure I could sell a few. But about the CAI, it will take some time and money, I have a very busy day with work, school, and all that other crap thats no fun. This is on the top of my "free time" list though, and I will get a estimated price when I I finally decide on all of the materials I will use.


I'll be sure to keep posting will updates.

And I could still use more suggestions from you guys.
(will you mind cutting, powdercoating colors, etc.)


Thanks again,
Patrick

 

Wow! I really need more sleep, look at my typing. lol!

 

another guy with work ,school that is promising parts
is this a trend?

i know im gonna **** off some people ...oh well if they cant take a jokey joke

 

Cutting- Like I said, I dont mind, if its kept as minimal as possible

Powdercoating Colors- White, Black, Blue, Red, Yellow, Green, Orange...simple colors. At least the first 4. Most of us arent as interested in colors as we are performance so I would try to compare stock to after the CAI, dyno sheet is good

Good Luck

I thought about this during school....

Things to think on. There are 2 Tubes coming from the BAC, and the ACV. Some people don't have them. So, you kindof have to cater for people with and without them.

Also, about the cutting. I doubt many people would mind cutting, but how about a washer relocation kit to come along with the CAI?? Just some thoughts from a sleepy college kid.

 

If you are willing to cut a whole above the washer res., all you need is one 90 degree bend and a filter and coupler to complete the kit.
