How much are you selling your intake for, Glenn?

I just put on my "new" "cai" this morning when I changed my oil.
It is a 3" piece of aluminum pipe...exhaust, I believe. I sprayed it with 1200* mid-gloss black engine paint, got 2 3" blue rubber connector things from APC and stuck it on there. I don't know if it's just me, but anything above 2500 RPM is nice.. a little more peppy.
 
The stock intake actually isn't all that bad...but you'll notice a difference definitely. I didnt really notice it down low, but I noticed up top, where the engine is struggling for air the most. In crappier, slower cars with less exhaust note, you can actually hear the engine sound 'healthier' with a new intake.....doesn't make that GRRR noise as much.

Actually, the Performer RPM in your sig.

I don't think I want to sell the RPM, at least not just yet. I think I am going to put the engine from the LX into the 95 GT and the stock 95 GT engine into the 88LX. If someone wants to buy the whole car I will sell it that way but I am not into tearing the engine apart.

I will part out the rear axle assembly and maybe the transmission, clutch and scattershield.

Looks like the next event will be Deland on the 14th and 15th. Here is a LINK to the CFR schedule.

I gonna have to skip that one(that's v-day weekend). Looks like I'll have to see you at the next GIR event, you should come up for the grassroots challenge the weekend of apirl 3-4 BUCC region has an autocross on the 4th at GIR. always a lot of fun.

You can't convince Christy that you need the seat time at another event? ;) Actually, Christine told me that it was cool if I go to the event but I'll probably skip it as there's the whitehouse event on the 22nd and then Gville a couple of weeks later.

I'm looking forward to a "re-match" against the current SM leader! :nice:

<smack talk>hmmmm... I guess I'm going to have to take it up a notch at the next event!</smack talk>

damn! and I thought I had been busy :p I'm still debating over whether or not to hit the Deland event but here's the rest of my upcoming schedule:

2-14/15 Deland???
2-22 Whitehouse
3-7 CFR @ GIR
3-20/21 Whitehouse

Unfortunately I'm going to miss the 4-4 and 4-10 event as we're going on a trip to England... the trip will be cool but missing 2 GIR events will seriously suck. :notnice:

Good luck in SM this year, it'll be cool to finally be running the same class :D

The MArtin event at GIR is pricey but sweet(few cones), the last martin event i went to i saw deep 3rd gear action twice on the track.

Xian- bring me back something from england and i 'll let you hold my 1stplace trophys i get when your gone.:)
yeah, that's why I'm a bit peeved that I'm missing it. I was really looking forward to getting a bit more speed on the track but it looks like I'll have to find my fix some other way...

Alright. I'll pick you up a shot glass so you can knock back a few before the next event... maybe that'll help slow down your winning streak ;)
