Its all good :thumbup: txhatch was just trying to correct my mistake, maybe I shouldn't have called it a CAI, but whatever, no need for all fellow HONDA fans to get in an uprise about it. But thanks for the defense anyway. I am just really anxtious to see this car run, but now with the tranny problem, it may be a while

I'm sayin it's very probable there was a CAI on the car. Sure, maybe it's just to keep rocks and stuff out of the turbine. Fact is there can be one on a turbo. It just pissed me off how txhatch put the guy down when there was no need for it.

Well, i meant no offense to anyone. I thought that pilot was saying that the guy told him it was a CAI.

So 50% think sub-12 sec. What does anybody else think? Anybody?

I personally believe it will be a 12 sec. car. I think it will have traction problems, slightly mostly because the owner can't drive for ****. To be in the 11's, theres got to be a good driver behind the wheel and def. on slicks.

well just to brust ur bubble you can have a CAI on a turbo car not on all models and in most cases its not needed but just to give u an example the WRX can have a CAI and its turbo charged and intercooled from the factory
