ProZac Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Hey Sk. what kind AND how much did u pay for ur Cold air intake??? And did it help in any way? mileage/performace etc? AND did you have to get a different chip? Its an achieveable Mod for me right now :) ~ProZac~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted June 9, 2003 Author Share Posted June 9, 2003 i acutally built my intake myself as the first part i started to custom make for lexus it gives great milage and performance i also do not have a drop in my torque curve unlike many camry's that have been dyno'd also not sure what you mean by an achevable mod meaning price ease of install or what fill me in also i did them for customers in toronto for about $300 install and all hardware in 3 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Yea, achieveable as in $ and ease of DIY. I could also use the better mileage since im getting 16mpg max. But next week/month im going to get new brakes, oil change, and im gonna ask for one of those "flush thingies" that clear out crap and make the car drive like new (so i hear) That fule additive didn't seem to help, so might as well have a professional do their stuff. If that doesn't cost TOO much, i might have $$ left over to do a cold air intake. But, i don't know too much about my 97's intake to mod it quite yet. So im trying to read about it, and look on line for Kits. http://www.weapon-r.com/airbox.html Like what about this??? or is there a DIY that looks good and works just as good?

SKperformance Posted June 11, 2003 Author Share Posted June 11, 2003 once the flushie thing is done you will 100% get better milage no doubt the cold air is only a diy if you have worked with the materail like metal and plastics before or you could get the filter in the wrong place and leak one more thing is the lower grille is from a 95-96 es with the rectangle fogs since i took out the useless projectors ( fogs are supposed to be a wide short beam kinda defeated by a projector) not that my new ones are any better i have yet to see a fog light do any good in any fog period it only gives the car a nicer look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
