what can i expect by adding a cold air , which is best,and what about a ram air mount.also need new rear lights would like euro look any ideas

 

Cold air: Depends on how it's designed. You'll notice a very small change in power (dependent on N/A or TII)

Ram air: No "mounts" are currently sold. And if they are, it's probably a rip off. Ram air IMO is a pipe-dream (no pun intended) unless there was alot of time and effort invested in doublechecking it's effectiveness with pressure sensors, etc.

New taillights: 'Euro look' is a very vague description. Do a search for Series 5 Taillights for an FC. Everybody loves those (for some reason).

 

Well. You have Euro lights. Since our cars are very slighty modifed when they come to the US.

Besides it's a good thing they don't make any.
Some people will color match the light housings to the car though.

 

Check us out. we are actually going to the DYNO to have proven performance numbers for our Cold Air Intake.


Man I can't wait to finish the TII version!

The link is in the signiature. Just click on it.

 

so cold air intake is not that great, and buy euro i mean the clear look,and some one told me to add atoranado along with a cold air intake,no ram air ?

 

when youre talking about euro lights do you mean altezzas??if so those shouldnt be on 7s ever

 

Clear tails ew but CAI I like myself. I will be showing what it IS or ISN'T worth by the end of the week.

Cold air intake is great, alot of people get great results who are designing it themselves. I have yet to see a kit that was impressive to me, or yeilded impressive results (as a kit). Basically DIY for your application, you will see the best results.

Clear taillights? There was set on e-bay. S5 stock taillights with clear lenses. Maybe snoop around there for some. Not my cup of tea, but that's not the point.

The tornado thing is another common misconception. Don't waste your money.

 

The key to CAI is to keep the intake air seperate from the hot air around the engine. This page here will show you a write up (with pictures) on how this is done with a cold air box. Like Black13B said, its a do it yourself project that gives great results and without paying an arm and a leg.

please don't turn your FC into a Honda. Read around on this forum before you let ricer friends tell you to do ****.

 

So a cold-air intake, despite the considerable benefits to power, throttle response and detonation prevention is now a ricer mod?! Dude, get a clue...

 

I think he was talking about the clear tails

 

RICER RICER...blah blah why is everyone so bitter? If he likes the look then more power to him "to each his own" maybe he hates your OEM ugly orange lenses...ewwww orange.....Grow up! People complian all the time about there being no partrs availble for FC's but no-one is willing to pay for anything....people like 1987rx7guy and myself are putting countless hours and money into making products for these cars and people call them rice or scoff at our innovations... I personally wish there were more parts availble for myself to buy so i didn't have to "make them myself". AHHHH rant:

 

Oops, my bad.
