Nice pictures and input.

Ebay makes money off the price of your item sold NOT shipping. Anybody that sells or buys on ebay should be aware of this. People sell cheap and charge more for shipping all the time because they don't want ebay to make more than they did for their product. Some people are so damn stone age it is pathetic. 30 bucks for an intake is pretty good unless you know some one at a shop that will sell and bend aluminum pipe for cheaper. The sucker is the civic/crx owner that pays $150 for the same thing we buy for $30.

Ya gotta love the bolt on RICERS LOL. CAI, Fartcan, no cat, carbon fiber hood, giant wing.
Im making like 300HP LOL.

I do agree that you will get used to the sound.

Hopefully that will motivate you to crack open that engine and put in a cam and carb it.
Im sure you'll notice the performance then

actually when I got the car it had a setup something like that, where it was sucking in warm engine bay air, after about 20 minutes I'd notice a massive power decrease. Now my car seems to run cooler too.

The stock 94 Cruise servo and cable out of the 94 Olds Cut Sup. The same inputs from the Fiero Cruise stalk will work for it. You can see the cable run over the top of the intake hose from the firewall.

I just got mine in the mail today. I think I may have bought the wrong one, its a 2 piece pipe instead of a 1 piece. I can't figure out how to get it to fit correctly, any one ever used a 2 piece one??

I've heard that either will work. I think that the two piece is the same as the one that I have, just with an extra piece. You will just have to give it a shot.

MIne was mounted above the wheel well openning and the side of the wall.

BTW. The intake does sound incredible and I would have kept mine if I had kept my MPFI

I find those CAI are way to noisey.On top of which you get nothing from them.The stock Gm air box/water remover is safe and plenty enough.

and in the 3 years owned spent more time on a flatbed then on the road.

Mine is not the civic intake but the dodge ram cold air intake. I can never get used to the sound of these things. Mine makes a whine whistle like sound when you give it gas.


When it's idling, It makes the hissing sound.

Mine is mounted in the same location ( inside the side panel)
