Its something Ive considered quite a few times as Im convinced my car is significantly quicker on cold mornings and hence a CAI could offer a performance improvement. Ive checked out the various differenct models and the Import Developments CAI (Mingsters) would appear to be the best value. The Mugen one is outrageously priced at something like 1500 GBP and requires you to cut some space from under the bonnet. The ID and Spoon are very similar in design, a carbon fibre moulding that goes from the airbox down to the grill. I dont know much about the AEM model.

I tried to get a GB going on these a while back, we were looking for 5 buyers but alas only 3 were interested so we didnt go through with it.

Good Luck

Wow, Spoon CAI for $488???? You can put me down for one if you get another GB going and match that price inc. shpping I had a look at Victor's (vlopes) at the Euro meet and it is a classy piece of kit.

TDI (http://www.tdi-plc.com/HondaS2000.html) (Barking - Essex)

Sell HKS performance manifolds and back boxes, induction kits and superchargers !!

They are a bit expensive though.
