I think some people have seen gains of like 1-2 with just the intake. CAI is a gimmick, especially with this car... the stock intake is basically a CAI if you follow the piping. Air is pulled in right behind the grille.

I just realized if you have your headlights on high the foglights automatically turn on. I think I may be stupid.

if you have your lowbeams and foglights on, and hit your high beams, the foglights actually turn off while the high beams are on. fun fact =)

In Illinois you have to wait till 17 and 3 months for a permit without taking the drivers education class. Was it worth the wait no, I should have just taken it before and had my license by now but it is what it is.

Who said I was terrible... Lol I'm not bad at all just because I just got my permit doesn't mean I'm bad at driving. Been driving a lot yesterday and today in the rain, bad conditions I'm fine. Funny thing is my girlfriend lives in Indiana and she says that whenever she sees anyone driving bad its always someone from Illinois.

should be an extra dial further down along the headlight switch stalk that you can turn for foglights. not sure if canadian models have this standard or not.

I think I'm borderline retarded. I still can't find it. My excuse is I'm still new to the car.

Just drive it around like that for the weight reduction. Probably adds around 50HP.

40 minutes past between my reply and the answer you waited for. Yeah, pretty sure you could've gone to get the paper manual, found your answer and then double checked it with the online pdf manual.

Kids today.
