hey so do you guys know if oppening up the trottle will help the intake suck in more air because as i was opening it i could hear it getting louder and louder i was also thinking if this could become a risk to my car because my cousin told me about it being better for the intake btw i have a aem v2 for my 01 clp

 

What?

 

buddy... your throttle body opens everytime you put your foot on the gas

 

yea but my cousin turn this little screw thingy by my trottle body and the intake go louder

 

Yea, that screw is not supposed to be touched. Thats the idle adjustment screw. There is absolutely no gain to be had by turning that. Adjust it back down to where it should be.

 

oh okay then what does it do anyways just wondering

 

It's the idle control screw.

If you turn it one way (CCW I belive) it raises your idle (the RPM you engine runs at when you don't push on the gas) This means that then you will be sucking more air, because you're using more fuel. This means your Air filter will wear out slightly faster, not a big deal, but not worth it because there are no gains. turn it back to where it was. I can't remember what our idle speed is supposed to be, hopefully someone can go check.

 

according to the service manual its supposed to be at 750 +/- 50 RPM at operating temp with no electrical load and AC off.

and yes, dont touch that screw unless your idle is off.

 

What ppl said above, and u will be wasting more gas while idleing

 

And if it is idling to high its not good when so shift in to gear(Its like doing a neutral drop)

 

What? no
Go mess with the "little screw thingy" on your cousins car. As stated by other people, dont mess with it

 

ok thanks ppl

 

and tell ur cousin not to touch ur car since he doesnt know what hes doing.

 

Hahahah hes a civic guy

 

and thats why he shouldnt touch your car. you should do some work yourself and we would be glad to give you instructions.

 

yea thanks need a drop right now

 

 

I dont appreciate that

 

 

X 2.

 

the civics i see around my place and what i hear ppl doing to them, is just stupid and pointless. and the shit they put on the civics from autozone, pepboys, murray, ....,wow, just wow.

 

What....they have some cool mods there....!

 

Tell him not to touch ANY car

 

Damn...so harsh. Even though we are simply driving a sexier looking Honda, lol. But seriously, he probably shouldn't touch your car...

 

I knew you wouldn't approve

 

 

Its funny, when Im driving the CL and I see a Civic with a wing or something, the first word out of my mouth is "Ricer".

When Im in the Civic though, I get these Mustangs and Camaros picking on me all the time. Its fun because my car looks stock, is somewhat loud, and would beat most of them.

Its even better when I get the aforementioned ricers trying to race me. Most of the time on the highway I dont even need to shift, just leave it in top gear and Im out

 

Haha, you'd have a blast out by me. Its Ricer city...and they are all Pep Boys Ricers, nothing legit around here (well they are rare).

 

My GF and other friends all say my car is "riced" out...

 

me -><- noah

 

True...true...then I'd try to explain it to them...but...

 

I know that feeling, they're like or

 

Exactly...

 

fixed.

you been on v6-p too long

 

^ RICERS!!





CIVICDRIVR, you have a Civic? Based on your name, I would have never guessed!

 

Ha ha...some times I still put words between :: even though there is no "icon" for it.

 

they dont know any better its a big difference on what we do and what ricers do.

 

They don't get it though...I feel like I'm constantly defending my ride.

 

i go through the same thing at work.

 

Its jealousy. I used to get shit from my friends because it wasnt a Ford or a Chevy, and it didnt have a V8 or RWD. I dont pay any mind, I like what I like and I make it go fast

Yea, I know it may come as a surprise
