See Gizmo's New CAI

I just installed my new Cold Air Intake. How do you like it?



It's cheaper than those GM, Fujita, etc. CAIs. Looks purtier too!

That just proves that a good mechanic only needs 2 tools; a can of WD-40 and duct tape.

If it doesn't move, and it should; use the WD-40! If it moves, and it shouldn't; use the duct tape!

Hey Giz, does your CAI smell like all those cars/trucks that are running around on recycled oil from french fry vats. I love the smell of French Fries in the morning.

Now it's WD-40, duct tape, and a can of Pringles!

Sweet!

What a great idea. Now I want to have one of my charge pipes painted like that. That would be pretty funny .

You should have integrated the clear top from the can, put a hole in it, and call it a blow-off valve. LOL

I have no idea!

I received an email with a bunch of "redneck" photos, various types. I saw this one and figured I could maybe give some humor to the Solstice Forum with it.

A seven salute to myself:
