ok true sounds good. i am guessing your running some kind of K&N panel filter yea ? I just had a more detailed look then and it looks like it could be a good short term fix. What is the cheapest cai kit there like $250 300 yea ? Thanks by the way Dave well i still got the stock panel filter, but i definately recommend getting a better flowing panel filter which will still cost over $100 FOR k&N BRAND Yea i know that's why i am considering just getting some piping and hopeing for the best as i already have a pod k&n........ o well i shall have to see how it turns out , my friend (who is incredibly mechanically minded) suggested the idea of making a home made cai. He didn't realize how different the intake setups are now compared to the 90's though. Bloody maf sensors ! Ill attack it with him on the weekend or the next and hopefully all goes smoothly ... Can any one tell me exactly where a maf sensor should be placed in an intake ? Thanks for all your guys help.

I thought the pipe connecting to the snorkel is like 40 to 60mm (i haven't properly looked at it). Wouldn't that restrict any gains at all? Does it offer a large sound improvement and a bit more power ? thanks though i might give it a try on the weekend considering its basically a free mod Cheers Dave

Thanks that i was wondering my self i was thinking of just drilling a hole into the tube and maybe silconing the maf in place. by placement you mean how far up the tube yea ? I am unsure of how far i should place the maf.

Is this car an auto or a manual if its a manual it sounds mysteriously like a slipping clutch.

Hi there i am a newbie to this fourm and to cars as well so sorry if this has already been talked about. Due to me being a student ( high school not uni :P) i am short on cash but i still seek to have a cai. I was just wanting your guys opinions if any of you guys have done this and how it went. I am thinking of running a 3 inch pipe from the throttle body to the the fog light ( could some one please inform me if the throttle body opening is 3 inch or 2.5 cheers.) because i own a 2005 model sportivo i would have to cut a bit of the chassis to make so the hole can support 3 inch. If there is another place that i could put a CAI please inform me ! Not to excited to cut the precious :P. Any way basicly my main questions is will my idea work having the cold start tube connected into the pipe, then the maf and then obviously a K&N filter at the end. ( is there any way the maf should be facing for best result. Please inform me of any thing i should be wary of. Thanks Dave

I recently purchased a sportivo and i think it is a wonderful car. The one i own is a 2005 with 50000 on the clock purchased for 17k. Sure there not rockets, there more of a car that is fun to drive with the short gears and the nice sound ( personally i prefer it a lot more over b18c). I can not comment on the other cars as i am on my learners and only have ever driven two cars ( sportivo , starlet life:P). Another thing to mention is the sportivo is quite cheap on insurance i believe for me it is $1670 (sounds expensive but i am the worst rating due to age, for me to insure a supra i believe its $2900) Another car i would suggest looking at is the good old starlet gt turbo. I believe they have the acceleration of a sportivo and due to the turbo you can mod them with ease. reliability could be questionable though...... Good luck shopping :)
