I don't know which is worse new ppl who don't use the search (some just don't know better) or those who try and think of creative ways to say use the search feature (quite boring now). I guess ppl do love to hear their selves talk and read their own words - over and over and over and over and over ... LOL. So let one person say it then back the hell off that should be the new rule.

If you read this thread again, you'll see that I've already commented to him on his responses here. What more would you like me to do?

ok... u know when u go WOT, theres an almost a second delay before the car actually take off? well from my past experience with ARC and Mugen induction box, they "kinda" eliminate that delay. i just don't like the idea of open filter intake systems, although they give u the best gain on dynos

i can only tell u the experience that i have on rsx, i don't know how this will effect on the Z, but im sticking with em. another reason is that i don't wanna be like everyone else... no offense to other people, but i like my car to stand out a lil
