Default New guy with a hatch

whats going on everyone. my name is Mike and I just got my hands on a 92 hatch.

I don't know anything about these cars. I do have experience with cars and drive a B5 S4 and a 350z. neither car is stock and while I know my way around the garage this car is completely new to me.

I intend to turn it into a fun little street/track car. I know the car has a jdm h22 swap, coilovers "don't know what kind", roll cage, ssr comp 16's, hasport mounts and axles, and a few other bits and pieces I know I am missing.

where can I find an intake tube and filter? right now there is just some rigged setup and I can't stand it. I can't seem to find many sites that carry parts that fit these swapped cars. if anyone could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

Mike

Dude check out craigslist, they always got good parts. low prices and local pick up, so u can even ask the people u buy off of to c where they got there stuff. alos hit up DNR in hayward and Alameda imports in alameda CA.

i disagree. if you have the ability to buy in a shop like in cali do it. but like where i live the nearst worthwhile shop is minimum an almost 2 hour drive.

or i could do research buy it online and bam its there just as i asked. never had a problem yet.

but best intake. cheap 3" tubing a velocity stack and a filter. works like a dream.
