I'm in awe right now. I was bored and it was a somewhat nice day so I decided to do some maintenance on the teg. After some advice on these forums I took out my intake filter and rinsed it thouroughly with hot water and let it dry (of course, that would be a dumb way to hydro lock my car ) Let me tell you.. my sink was black with dirt... So on top of that I half *** clean off my car and take off the remaining stickers the previous owner put on it (no longer a ricer wooo ) I decide to take the car for a test spin to see if I can see an increase in power. First off, I could definetely feel an increase in power, I was pretty surprised, not only that it shifted like a dream. Just earlier that day I was looking at Z's to buy during the summer because I was frustrated with my teg because it was shifting bad and I couldn't figure out why. It wasn't my driving because I drove other sticks fine. I'm telling you, right after I cleaned off this intake it shifted like a dream, I'm putting no effort into shifting and it shifts beautifully, while before it was bumpy when I concentrated hard. I'm falling in love with my car again. I figure my car was protesting the stickers on the car so it failed to work properly untill I took them off Is that normal? Do all intakes effect shifting like that if not properly cleaned?
Oh and I decided not to sell my car when i go away to school

 

I've never heard of an intake effecting shifting, but if you say so, i believe ya.

 

INTRESTING CONCEPT

 

I'm telling you man.. it was the stickers

 

Damn vinyl will do that to ya

I am being dead serious too, the difference is light and day. Hey do you think if I take off my WW big mouth body kit I will gain 50hp?

 

maybe your next step is to wait a year, then change the motor oil...

then your love could be re-ignited. heheheh

 

good idea, that is if I still have a motor left

 

dude..u got it all wrong the bigger the wing the faster you go, the faster you the more of a chance you'll fly! and if u fly thats like 70hp

WHATS THAT in the sky?? .....its a bird!? .....its a plane!? .....NO! its a ginormous WING on a honda!!!!!!!!
