    Really dude

    I'm 20 and I get like 30mpg with my eta.

    I knew I shouldn't have bothered after reading someone else get shot down for having a kn filter.

    Hopefully I seem less ignorant because I hit return twice everytime I type a sentence.

      You did say I like pretty cars and drift crazy. If that doesn't sound dumb as fuck I dunno what does.

      And you aren't getting 30 mpg in your eta. Why anyone would bother with 150 dollars of ebay garbage for an intake on a car with 121 hp is beyond me. Just drive the fucking thing.

        Idk its pretty quick chipped and has a mean sound. I don't need a high hp car just one that takes off quick. Half the highways here have a speed limit of 55 mph so what's the point of having a car that's quick up top if you can't take advantage of it? If I lived in fla then maybe it'd be a different story with the higher speed limits but honestly I'd take an e over I anyday.

        And as far as the whole 15 mpg thing you probably wouldn't have that problem if you weren't a lead foot. My car gets 30 mpg easy unless I always have my foot on the floor, then its another story.

          Ok now that that's over, I've decided to say fuck it. I'm satisfied with it for now. Maybe next summer the stock intake will go back on.

            Stock intake is your best bet, when complete it will get the coldest air possible. It pulls air directly behind the headlights and only there. But that's when the setup is complete. Without the shield and whatnot it's pretty shitty.

            And most people that say they would take the b27 over the b25 are the people who've never driven an "i" car. Although I would like to have a b27 equipped car for a DD. Better tq curve and is easier to drive daily than the b25.

            I don't have a lead foot BTW, my car barely sees over 3500 rpms. The a/c just sucks all the power and gas mileage from it. Older cars are bad when the a/c's on. It barely gets 20mpg without it on.

              True that. Yeah I never drove an I but I don't have a lot of money so the e works out awesome as a daily. The ac really does kill gas mileage and power. I got my system updated and recharged this summer and used it about 4 times. Couldn't stand the power loss. Its really not that good of an ac sytem anyway and I've been 3 summers without it so I just disconnected it. No hate man I just hate when people talk shit on forums. We all know damn well no one on here wants to drive a civic lol.

                You just can't come off as a dumbass or you're going to get shit on. It happens.

                My a/c works great it was converted by a shop in like 2001 to r134a. I couldn't live without it here in florida. The car can still keep up with traffic you just wont see me ripping on it to much.

                    And what gauge is telling you your friends eta is getting "30+ mpg". The OBC? LOL. Cause that things accurate considering that your friends eta sounds like a pile of shit.

                    Sorry but eta's aren't getting 30+ mpg.

                      or maybe i can do basic math and add milage + gas spent.... i know its a ridiculous thing to think, but somehow it works. and yes, it is getting 30+ mpg. must be something wrong with the eta's your around. im not saying around town every day, but on the freeway on long trips it does/did great.

                            Well, your lack of grammar skills worries me and leads me to believe you are still in the 5th grade and can't possibly compute such intense mathematical equations.

                              look at this guy, everyone has to be a fucking grammar major for u to respect them huh? u know this is a car forum right? u know that people posting dont really give a fuck right? i mean, i know u want to feel better then everyone else and put in you 2 cents. but your just coming off and a conceided know it all prick. i saw u do it with the OP when he was just asking a simple question, and your worried about grammar. im sure if this site needs a grammar :hitler: you'll be first in line. get off your high horse and realize that the only thing u might be good at is grammar, not criticizing normal people for shit u cant understand. good luck getting anyone to give a shit what u have to say.

                                LOL those two pennies always piss people off. I forgot that you speak for everyone. I'm pretty sure some people do enjoy reading posts that don't make their heads/eyes hurt. If you notice many, many people on here spell pretty damn well for a bunch of tards.

                                Typing like that just makes you come off as a jackoff that "doesn't give a fuck" ya know, rebel style. I can tell by your haircut that you are probably down with the whole stick it to the man crowd.
