Okay so Im doing my intake today with my cheapo intake pipe from ebay. It was like 40$ and the damn thing dont fit, so I gotta take a hack saw to it. But while I was thinking about my options I said to myself "what the hell is the point of this stupid *** pipe. Why dont they just attach the air filter, right onto the intake instead? So im gonna have to get the hack saw out in an hour or two and make the adjustments to it. So would it benefit me to just hack the pipe in off right past where the little hose that attachs from valve cover to intake pipe. Or should I just hack it off so that it fits the way it was "supposedly designed to fit".

 

i would do it the way is is supposedly designed to fit. the reason the intake should be around stock location is so it gets as much cold air as possible. the shorter the intake is the more hot air its going to pull in.

 

Put the filter wherever you want, it doesn't matter very much.

well the length and diameter have influnce on how well the intake will work, I remember from blake's(98vtec) lost power with his short cut intake(he cut a CAI to fit a BpI flowstack and cut the pipe really short) as opposed to the AEm location of the SRI for the 5th gen prelude.

Harmonics, velocity, and such all come into the equation. If you cut it to short you may just end up loosing power over stock.

 

just feed your pipe from your HEADERS back into your throttle body. That will give you BIG BOOST without having to pay big bucks for ebay turbo kit. your car will have big fat torque curve and you will get the full JDM driving pleasure!!!!

Novice dealer. Ive done better with rice parts

 

Since we have a bunch of Rice Fans out There Id like you to read this artical I just heard about on honda-tech in myspace.

Street cars are daily drivers. A car that we rock everyday should be comfortable. Why roll on some sick JDM race car coilover setup when there are street specific setups available? To be cool? C'mon.

Of the 3, the class that needs the most work are the show cars. When this scene first started, show cars were extravagant. Bright colors, big wheels, crazy interiors, and body kits were the norm. I'm the first to admit that we went a little over the top back then, which facilitated the coinage of the expression "rice." This one word changed the way we, as a group, look at cars. Having your car considered rice is a fate worse than death. Over the years it's become harder to stay out of that category because the limits of what is acceptable have gradually grown narrower. Nowadays, even having a part that looks the same as an acceptable one but doesn't have the correct sticker on it will get you thrown into the rice category.

Personally, I'm over it. I think we should be pushing the limits of what is considered rice. We've got experience with both sides of the spectrum, so why not take some from column A and some from column B? We'd end up with a car that is still in the ballpark of the aesthetic guidelines that we've enforced on ourselves, but with a little bit of personality, soul, and flavor. We're supposed to be expressing our own artistic talent and vision through our cars, not everybody else's. Use yours to show the rest of the world who you are-I dare you.

No longer will I instinctively ask myself what Honda-Tech.com will think about my cars. When this all started for me, I built what I wanted and took the heat from the haters with a grain of salt. When the hate started coming from my peers in the Honda-verse, I started taking it more seriously. However, much as I don't want to admit it, I'm just as guilty of Internet hating as any of the rest of the population of e-thugs. I don't want to contribute to this anymore. Building cars to fit the mold of what's "in" has put a damper on my enthusiasm for them. I resolve to build cars for myself from now on.

I think I want 17s on my EG. Say what you will about it-I don't care anymore.</TD></TR></TABLE>

*Yawn

 

all that article show me is that someone that works at that magazine didn't have enough resolve until recently to tell his peers to shove it just because they made fun of his car.

Call me a ricer, who cares I know I'm not and I trust my opinion on that matter a whole lot more then a trust some dude on the internet.

Noone on this board can tell you the best part for YOUR car, YOU have to make that decision, if you decide to basis that decision on a bunch of opinions from a bunch of people on an internet post board that your gonna get some heat. You can't please everyone and the more you try the less people you are going to please.

Honestly if you take a GOOD look at MOST of the threads that contain massive amounts of flaming in them, the flaming for the most part is making fun of the person and how they present their car rather then the car itself, therefor you can conclude that it's not the rice in the car thats really the bad part(beauty IS still in the eye of the beholder after all) but the rice in the attitude of the OWNER that get flammed.

But honestly if you think altezza's(common "rice" example) look good on your car and they will make you happier with your car, but you don't do it because 5 people you are probably NEVER going to meet in person called you a ricer on the internet, maybe you should take that money and get some consulting for your low self esteem instead of the taillights, catch my drift?

 

i hate ricers, they hurt the import community by presenting the false image that we all race on the street with fatass exhausts. EVERY TIME that one of us has our hood popped, got hassled by the cops, or got told by insurance our premium is higher because of the car, I BLAME THE RICERS.

you can have your neon green paint and dubs along with the yuban exhaust and 15" subs that pops fuses all day long, just don't SPEED,RACE, OR GET COMPLAINTS ABOUT HOW FCKIN LOUD YOUR EXHAUST/SOUND SYSTEM IS. That is MY definition of a ricer, and those are the people I hate. It's not fun being rated 26 on a 1-28 scale from insurance companies.

That article won't bring ricers together with the real enthusiasts, because we have completely different ideas that cannot co-exist.

 

you know I have found that if you swap "ricer" for the word "immature car people" in most rants about "ricers" you get pretty much the same point across and everything still makes sense...

just an observation though...

 

Why would you put an intake filter on there when you could just use a BOV? Sounds mad sick yo.

yeah. seriously.

I don't care about what you think or anything at all, 17s look ridiculous on civics. So if I see you with 17s on your civic, I'm likely to call you a ricer, point, and laugh.

There is a huge inverse correlation on hondas of rim size versus brain size.

Ignorant ricers that make me look like a fool in my nicely modded prelude.
