I really want to make this car faster...so i hope you guys will stick with me through all my newness.

Custom intake is pretty easy. just buy the intake pipe made for a 94-00 integra/92-00 civic, a K&N rx 4750 filter, and a coupler. then just follow the instructions.

Where do you live? We can probably hook you up with some local help.

There are a few recent topics on the coupler. Not to be confused with Supercharger coupler. In fact, there are some topics with part numbers and sources listed VERY recently.

Get your filter from www.ajusa.com

Any silcone 4" to 3" reducer will work.

How much does window tinting usually cost? Any rough estimates anybody? I realize it will probably be different with each local place, but just an estimate would be nice because i honestly have no clue.

THanks for the site with the parts.

I've had 2 cars tinted (all 9 windows) with the back window done in one solid piece (and the sunroof tinted on one of them) for about 200 each car.

Michigan, eh? Where about? We've got a few members here who could possibly guide you a bit.

Lots of information right here on the forum too though. Just search for "rice pipe" and click on the one that'* like 10 pages long. That'll get you started on that intake.
