CT Ice Box Intake vs Injen SP1431 Intake

In the world of import intakes there are three major variations:

• Box intakes
• Cold Air Intakes (CAI)
• Short Ram Intakes (SRI)

All three have their key advantages and disadvantages, CAI is good for high end gain but tends to lack in the low end and can lead to hydro lock, SRI’s are good for low end response but lack in the high end and are prone to heat soak, and box style intakes sit right in the middle of the road, good low end response, better than SRI high end gain, and not as prone to hydro lock.

I need your help!

That’s right – I need your help to keep JDMLove moving forward. There is only so much a one man army can achieve and I need some of the dedicated readers to step up and become authors! That’s right a full JDMLove author! It’s an easy thing to do and writing a post takes mere minutes and would greatly benefit the community.

How to drive on snow and ice

Living here in the greater Portland-Metro area of Oregon we occasionally get a bit of a snow and ice storm. Unlike our friends on the east coast who get a snowy winter every year, we do not, so our drivers tend to be a bit over zealous and end up in their neighbors yard. So I come to you to write about how to drive in snow and ice and stay out of your neighbors yard. But wait? aren’t I an Oregonian? How do I know how to drive any better? Well, I have taken several skid car courses and spent endless days on the mountain skiing and driving through winter road conditions.

Properly Adjusting Coil Overs

I will admit I made the same mistake many people make when adjusting their coilovers, just adjust each side by the same amount of “rings.” Example, I lower my driver side by 5 threads (rings), I should be able to lower the passenger side by the same amount and have a nice even ride height. I will tell you by my hellishness ordeal over the past week that this is by chance the worse idea ever.
