I had a REX too, and this is nothing like it.

If you're gonna buy an ARC box, buy a vented hood.

"There is no such thing as an innate talent for driving; at least I've never seen such a thing. If it's said that a person is gifted, he or she will only improve a little bit faster than the rest. Nothing beats repeated effort and practice."

Sorry I had to quote an imaginary character.

hahahahaha
you know whats funny.. is that as i grew up i rode in many different cars.. toyotas, nissans, datsuns, hondas.. all heavily modded.. i watched all of them as they drove and observed their good and bad habits. i would look out as if i was driving and telling myself what i would do here or there...
even till this day i watch others drive and i think that has made me a better driver today...
the week i got my lic i was already at the track bangin gears pulling almost near perfect reaction times...

driving is very much a mind game like Baseball, you need to drive ahead of where you are like a turn or 2 ahead and plan your attack!

I was always told to draw the line backwards around the track or up a mountain and drive it in your head 2-3 turns before your actual car.

Don't go with the arc box it is not functional and gets heat soaked. It's just for bling. Go with spoon or j's racing. I have a spoon duct and love it.

Just a heads up theres a spoon duct for sale on s2ki.com
