Better than AEM V2 CAI (RAM)
I just bought a ram air intake that is specifically made for the type R 02-04 hatch but I but it on my 02 EP3 and unlike the V2 u literally feel the increase, subtle but u can feel it. It is a european company that my uncle bought a intake for his Ferrari and he recommended it 2 me. http://www.gruppemeurope.com/frc_honda.html

You got the scoop to work? The left hand drive cars have the windshield wiper right where it is supposed to come out....
This picture is of a RHD CTR. Notice the wipers, on the right side of the vents. Notice where the scoop comes out.

Re: Better than AEM V2 CAI (EtherGhost)
the nstall took all about 4 dayz with trial & error (unfortunately more error) but we ended up have to buy a new hood because we cut a little much but after we realilzed our error my friend had bought a CF so he sold me his old hood and we cut that and ordered a Vision intake piece from imparts.com but now it looks like a factory installed part which was what I was going 4.

Why did you have to cut the hood? The GruppeMs come with a new cowl piece. Also the company was started in Europe but the carbon intakes even for the Ferraris are made in Japan, by GruppeM Japan LTD.
I installed my GruppeM in all of about 25 minutes, the worst part was reattaching the rubber boots from the bonnet latches.

Re: (k20whitevic)
k20whitevic,
This is kind of off topic, but how do you like the Toda Fightex DAs? They are one of the 3 that I am considering when I eventually do swap the stock R sus out. The other 2 I am looking at is Crux and Quantum.
Another thing, how was the weight savings compared to the stock sus?

Re: Better than AEM V2 CAI (DC5RK20A)
DC5RK20A, did you even read my post? You have a RHD car. The cowl piece fits a RHD car. Look at where the windshield wipers are in that picture. Now imagine a LHD car. The windshield wipers are on the OTHER side. The cowl piece will not fit.

hmmm... imparts.com seems to stock a lot of drycleaning parts
so post some pics of this thing...you must know somebody with a digi (maybe your uncle w/the ferrari)
so using the vision piece requires you cut the hood - yet it is "U" shaped to bend around the wipers????? what did you do about the reservoirs??? & lastly if you did buy a vision piece WHERE did you get it
