    Thanks!
    Steve I think purple looks good,but im trying to find a cheap valve cover with OEM color,I love the OEM color scheme too :p
    Fernando I sold my other wheels because I want to buy some rally wheels like OZ roullets or Sparco's cromodora,but then I decided to restore my suspension with that money...and I want to take the celica to the track in a few months so the wheels will have to wait unfortunatly :/

    was looking through your pics and I just hate the fact forza IV doesn't have the gen4 .... but gameplay is so much better than gt5... pfff should have the money to own both :)

    Its very cool,I love it too,I think it fits perfect with the celica interior,and in terms os driving its really cool because its closest to the driver and I think you can turn better,at least it happens to me!

    It's the little things that make it what it is!

    How do you go with the air intake driving in winter? Or do you remove the hose?

    I have an unshielded pod filter with no CAI and 2 months ago went through a big puddle, ran rough for about 50 kms and was fine after, I think it was wet wiring? I got lucky...

    Since I've got this intake I've never driven in winter time,and since the celica its not may daily car anymore that barely its going to happen,but I think its ok to drive it like this!!When I had my civic I had a CAI almost touching the ground and I drove it in winter time with not even one problem,maybe I was lucky I dont know!
    Maybe was wet wiring,any light turned on in the dash??Happened to me a few weeks ago with my audi 80,went through a big puddle and all the lights turned on on the dash xD

    nice air duct! with the 3sge in there and the oem piping, you wouldnt need that =]
     
  16. celica_gt-i

    celica_gt-i Well-Known Member

    I think the 4age oem piping is similar to the 3sge Kev,the oem air box has a pipe that goes to the grill/headlight,at least its like that in AT160's :p
    But the pipe that goes from the intake manifold to the air box just opened in half and I had to do this...I need to buy another pipe to use the OEM filter setup,but I want a KN air filter!!To bad it costs around 70€ :|

    The engine tried to stall so all the dash lights came on and off momentarily.
    I just kept driving and had to mash the accelerator a fair bit, like when my fuel pump died a while back.
    The next day it was fine... just so happy it fixed itself!
