It will be fine.

 

dude how do u know u drive a hybrid hatch....just askn?

 

Okay it will blow up. I don't have an S2000 either.

 

now thats what i like to hear...

 

you will lose power if the lid is off... and it will also be more prone to heatsoak..

 

look at his signiture in bold red....


it should be fine it wont help it thats for sure, IMO it would work better to take off the box completly and put a shield blocking the motor

 

It will get heat soak... Yea it sounds cool but you loose power..

Depends which is more important..

 

im not doing it thanks i just thought it sounded better but if its a problem im ok....

What?!? Just beacuse if someone doesn't "own" an s2000, doesn't mean they don't know anything about it. If you read closer at his sig, it shows clearly that he does. Please, i own an ap1 but i know plenty about other hondas, nissans, and toyotas.

 

on a ligher not. No air box lid = heat soak.

It's just louder.

 

not a good idea.

 

it's summer time... take the lid off and drive with no hood on... heatsoak problem solved

 

thanks man....i think its very cool that you know alot about other cars and i wanna give you a cookie for all your accomplishments....but seriously you dont need to rag on me. In other terms maybe you cant take things as a joke. i can giva shiz if he does. SO let me make this more clear, he so knows so much like maybe you do...but yet he tells me its fine to drive with no air box lid, and then u tell me its not ok. Wow...ok guys thanks for your help have a good day!

 

don't get mad. its kinda the way things go around here. I mean look at the way you started your post, deep down even you kind of thought it was a stupid question. You had to know you were going to get some sarcstic responses.

 

im not stressing it tommarow is a new day! thanks for the people who helped!

 

right on.

its says in his sig...

"2001 Honda S2000 - Daily Driver"

you sure he doesn't own one?

 

just like evryone said, your car will suffer from heat soak

 

Why not do the airbox mod???

Here's some pics I took of my wife doing her airbox mod. They might answer a few questions.











and get a K&N filter FTW!!!!

 

That set up will still be prone to heat soak issues

 

ugly. and look at the blacking on the filter.....im sure your losing power because the engine is heating up the filter therefore pulling in hot air.

hahaha. This guy.

You go on here, post a question you wanted to know the answer too, then when you get the answer, you be a smart *** about it. And even better yet, you don't even appreciate it by saying you don't give a ****.

so go ahead, take the lid off your air box. If you think heat soak is good thing for your car, then be my guest. Just don't come back crying when you car feels all degraded of power. Ohh yes, but its okay though, at least your car will sound "cool".
