im not planning on modding my car any time soon besides suspension, but i was wondering why no one makes a cold air intake for the FC? i see them for the turbo cars but not for the n/a's all i see for them is just a plain old k&n

Its a tube with a filter on the end.
Not that hard.
Take off old platic. Attach straight tube and cone air filter. Done.

I'm sure you could modify some CAI from another car if you wanted to.

The closest one is a 91-94 mitsubishi eclipse or a mazda protege 5.... you cut the piping to fit to the car....it is a fairly easy way to make a cold air but its still around 200 bucks unless you can find a cheap knock off cold air maker... usually on ebay

Ya thats true. But you can still run tubing from the AFM to wherever you want to without a problem.

I've gone to Home depot looking for tubing that would work and couldnt find anything.
What did you use for it, Rotorific?
