(and on the weight issue, dont fill it completly up if you can ... go like with half a tank at a time) After a brief google search, I found this same advice, and an opponent to this as well. The 2 arguments were that you wouldn't be saving that much gas by filling your tank only halfway; the additi...

I'm not ignoring you, I'm just trying to consider some options before jumping into something. I've read I have to modify the iceman since I'm in an ATX, also, after reading all of this , I think that finding a dohc exhaust should be my first step. If you can convince me otherwise, or someone sells ...

Clean up your car (if it's cluttered) empty your trunk too. These things add weight that unnecessarily burn more gas.

The difference is slight, but every penny counts right?

Yeah I'm not so sure I'd be as worried if I were in the snow.

Again, thanks for all the input.

Apparently a WAI benefits fuel consumption too, not sure where I read it, but it might be worth looking into.

Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warm_air_intake

That's where I read it.

That's why I went with a K&N drop in and rigged up a Ram Air deal to bring cold air up to the stock box. Looking at it you'd think I'd suck up all kinds of water but on a recent trip from Crossville to Nashville it was raining cats and dogs, driving behind big trucks threw up all kinds of water and...

I'm in east TN 10 minutes from UT. I drive down I-40 for about 8 minutes every day to and from work which is where I'd be most worried about ingestion. Sorry for revisiting this dead horse, but I just needed a little more convincing. I'll probably be throwing one on soon. Thanks a lot, everyone. -Ro...

Yeah I'm certainly going to hold nobody but myself responsible, and considering my noob status, I'm relatively ignorant to 1st gens... and 2G's :P The CAI goes through the stock intake opening into the wheel well area, the battery is located higher up next to the fuse box, so unless there's a better...

Rain/CAI (Today's a perfect example)

I'd like to ask if there's anyone out there running a CAI in this rain in the east. It's raining cats and dogs (ie. windshield wipers on full speed and still having to keep it slow). If so, are you at all worried about water ingestion? That's really the only apprehension I have with installing one o...

I had this same problem 2 oil changes ago...

I ended up having to put the car on jack stands and laying down directly underneath it with vice grips and eventually managed to break it loose.
