A few days ago in the christmas list thread i mentioned that I was getting a Place Racing cold air intake. It should come today. I'll take pics when it arrives.

its a CAI. I wouldnt waste my money on just an intake. I've heard people gaining upto 5-10 hp from it. It came today, but it probably wont get installed till next week.

I dont think it costs that much. There are several people on maxima.org that have done it. But now that I think about it I will probably just buy another 3rd gen that already has a 5 speed and just put all the new parts from mine on the new one. It sounds much better.

Washing anything when it's cold is a bad idea... I took my car to the car wash the other morning (it was really dirty, and I knew it felt cool, but I didn't realize how cold it was), and the high pressure water soap stuff was freezing to my car seconds after I sprayed it on. Made for an interesting car wash, and when I finally got the car de-iced with a good rinse, the concrete all around the stall (and the car) had frozen solid as ice. Made it fun trying to get into the car.
I'll take pics when it arrives.
