But some of the help now comes from me killing the engine at a light and being able to play the light, knowing it's going to be beneficial to kill it rather than sit there and idle.

Have you made a Warm air intake?

No not yet, I'm still stumped on how to go about making one exactly. I want to get one installed as its starting to cool down drastically. I was thinking of cutting into the stock airbox below the air filter and putting in dryer ducting but idk if that would really be effective.

I was thinking about responding to this but now you have the insight so the WAI would be a different story now, unless honda made one stock for the insight.

I've been having trouble starting the car, I ended up buying a trickle charger for the battery and the car was doing just fine for a couple days. Then it sat for 2 days and it wouldn't start. I looked at the tags on the battery and the battery was put in February of 2003!!!!! The battery was in the car for 11 years!!!! Longest lasting battery I've ever seen. So while I'm waiting to get a new battery, my stepfather hasn't been able to drive his truck in 3 weeks so I left my truck at his house and I'm driving this for a week

Kill then crank can be hard on a battery, I would suggest getting a 5 year battery from your closest auto parts store.

Phenomenal car. I would highly suggest a pre made lip for the front instead of the lawn edging, otherwise digging it

I actually have a roommate that works at a dealership and she's just going to buy a battery with the employee discount, so I'm gonna get a good deal on a new battery anyways.
I actually looked at some lips but from what I found I'd have to spend at least $50 to get an ok lip, and I had the lawn edging from the last car that I put it on the CRX. So with it being free (at the time I put it on) I was happy!

Haven't posted to my build in a while. I'm still driving my car a good amount of the time but I also still drive my truck. I've tried to make some small mods to help out the aero of the truck.




The air dam isn't as good as I'd like but its better than not having one at all! I think the next mod for my tacoma is an underbelly pan.
