We got into this a few weeks ago as well. I think you were misled by what I was saying. I believe you thought that I was saying that every Honda guy that wants to go fast is a ricer that's not the case. If you can properly tune a Honda and ACTUALLY make it go faster, props to you. I'm just referring to the mass amount of people that buy a Honda, throw a 3in tailpipe on, spoiler, and universal wheels and then think they can run with the big boys

Like this guy

You're driving a f****** accord that's FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. that wings not going to do s***! And those wheels aren't for performance, they're for looks

Yet again I'm saying that guy above is a ricer. They want to look cool. An actually built and tuned four banger is not a ricer

Honestly this doesnt show much. Cobras run high 13s low 14s from the factory. running lows 13s-12s isnt all that impressive. Regardless what you do at the track, even if you run 10s, on the street the power is gonna be near impossible to put down with FWD.

You would seriously need like 10 gallons dumped into the cowl at once to maybe suck in water. The fresh air intake is all the way in the corner on the passenger side from the factory. And the cowl intake is a 1/2-1" from the bottom of the cowl. I havent had any problems with rain or snow and Ive been running it for a few months.

How close does yours come to touching the hood when you close it? Mine is soooooo close and I can't lower it anymore.

Drove to school so far, selling the long arm setup, towing a car today.
Thanks to a mechanic it is now in a wreckers yard, $325 for me to get it back out! And it still needs to be fixed.

Did you know a cone filter from auto zone fits into an empty paint can?
And thin wall pvc has small 45° elbows that are easy to fit.
