generally AEM CAI is used, if you want to slightly mod a SRI than that's made by Takeda.

Either one is a TL take off.

Carbon.... How hard to install your CAI? Did it make any noticeable power?

I'm sure it sounds cool....

...are you really 17? Nice car for being in high school! Your parents must love you!

Took me about a hour to do it. Hardest part was getting the resonator out. Im very mechanically inclined and not afraid to mess up so it may be quicker for me to do it.

rl man05

yea. im acutally 16, but my mom gave me this car with alot of miles and she got herself a new car

Yea that resonator was a bitch. I wound up taking a hack saw to it LOL
You might want to go to Sam', Costco, or Bjs and grab an economy pack of condoms. I'm 25 driving this car and I had to LOL I couldnt imagine what kind of damage I would've done if I had a car like this at 16-17

DiabloSVRacer

haha done it!
too bad my parents didn't hand me down a baller ass car, instead i paid in full for a baller ass car and got in trouble lol.

OP, if i were you and know what i know now; i would have sold my car and put a down payment on a rental condo or house. drove in a civic and be in a better place right now.

mods don't add value
refurnished home adds value

Shoot theres a dude with like 300K miles on his RL somewhere around here. Still running strong

DiabloSVRacer

haha girls don't see mileage! they see shiny expensive car!

if it was me i would leave my window sticker on that displayed msrp lol

170k is a breeze. Replacing parts also gives you a reason to upgrade/mod. For instance, if it hasn't been already, the suspension needs to be changed. I'm sure the rotors do too. That's my plan. Wait until the part needs it anyway, and then I can justify my mods.

rl man05

yea ik. if gonna get a new intake because my intake hose in like ripped like half wayyy. so im just gonna buy a cai

rl man05

hha. and i hide the milage with the degrees outside

rl man05
