Sometimes just from driving or sitting in the rain.

i had a cai for like 3yrs when i DD'd the GA. this was year round rain/snow what ever fell from the sky and never had a problem.. got rid of the cai when i did the motor work.

Regardless though some people have had problems and I don't want to be one of those people. Not to mention it doesn't do much, neither does the airbox filter I got but won't have a chance of water intrusion.

Had mine for over a hear, never had a problem what so ever.

sleepyalero · 10-12-2013, 04:34 PM

Over a hear? How long is that?

Uh oh! CALL THE PRESS sleepy has back seats again! After 3 years of them being out! They are back in today.

Btw the pic makes the seats look weird.

sleepyalero · 10-12-2013, 05:24 PM

Hahahaha very true!

geldartb · 10-12-2013, 05:39 PM

what's the special occasion.

even weaker you still had the seat belts in there the whole time.. i took mine out for some reason and i'm pretty sure they went with the Z26 when i scrapped that..

think i took them out since it looked cluttered back there with them and no one ever sat back there so in the trash they went.

[ChaosweaveR] · 10-12-2013, 05:47 PM

I added stickers to the back on my Accord.

For the lulz mostly.

the stock belts have always been in, didnt care to remove them. no special occasion really, was interested to see rear seats in with the sparco seats in and the harness bar.

when i took the rear seat out years back i also unbolted the stock buckles, but left the straps. now its back in, but didnt use two like 10 lb brackets that i pulled out when i first took them out back then. and also didnt use the middle belt when i reinstalled. no one will be sitting back there, they are just there.

MAC the KNIFE · 10-13-2013, 06:07 AM

well, my cone filter on the CAI was awful filthy and that probably helped it soak up the rain mist. i noticed when i was on the highway after it had rained and all the spray that traffic in front of you kicks up, i couldn't go over 3k rpm. maybe it was 4k rpm? i've got a vid on my yootoob channel. i think moisture was getting through the filthy filter, and messing up the MAF.
i took out 2 of the 3 pieces of tubing, so now it's a WARM air intake, and it works fine.

i drove through puddles without care. that wasn't the problem.

and thanks for trying to help me out Chaos.

i did it for the LOLZ

TDavis · 10-13-2013, 12:06 PM

Well I can tell even just with the K&N airbox filter the throttle is a little more peppier.

[ChaosweaveR] · 10-13-2013, 04:43 PM

The stock airbox is complete garbage.

geldartb · 10-13-2013, 04:58 PM

aside from the UIM color change it's been like this since it went together. wrapped the intake tube with some stuff to keep the heat out.

bricooper78 · 10-13-2013, 05:25 PM

You paint that alternator?

geldartb · 10-13-2013, 05:52 PM

just the casing it looked like shit..some rustoleum paint brush shit..used one of those small paint brushes.

pretty sure that's the same alt that was in there when i bought the car in 05 iirc..

bricooper78 · 10-13-2013, 05:55 PM

Looks cool from the pic

stewartfn18 · 10-13-2013, 06:13 PM

sleepyalero · 10-13-2013, 08:52 PM
