More Cold air

[hatchbackkid82]

Just wanted to see if you guys thought this would be a good idea. I don't know how familiar some you guys are with the 96-00 Civics(ex-honda guy). But i remember seeing a few Civics running around here in MD with 3 inch holes drilled right into there front bumpers. This hole sat a few inches from where the CAI filter was located. It was far enough to still draw in more cold air but still kept it safe from the elements. What do you guys think good idea or no:iono:. I was just thinking about it. I highlighted the area i was thinking about in the yaris. I currently have a AFE intake the hole would sit right under the filter. Just want to get some opinions

In my ABSOLUTE honest opinion, a stock engine isn't going to make great use of the colder air.

[hatchbackkid82]

Hmmmmmm yeah i guess your right.

[mastaofdisasta]

for me to cut a whole 3 inches wide in my front bumper itd have to be something that gave me at least 30hp. If it was a civic id do it, but its more than that, its a yaris. But yes in theory it would deliver more cold air, but you wouldnt notice a diffrence. so dont lol

Why not do the DIY fog light cover to air intake/brake vent conversion? Effective and you don't have to cut a whole in your bumper

lil scoop on the hood to ram some air in there could do it too :biggrin:

[hatchbackkid82]

:laugh: people relax..... ok i won't do it:biggrin:, just wanted to get some opinions. also these civics were N/A monsters with crazy mods done. The brake duct things sound cool but i want fog lights

I'm open to holes in the front bumper....a lot of miata guys do it....I'll probably do it at some point. Guys with 350Z's do it also. Granted the increase will most likely be unnoticable. But an increase is an increase. Especially in a car that just about puts 90hp to the ground.

[PETERPOOP]

Not even 90hp to the ground. :)

y not jsut remove the headlight? i'm assuming u take this to the track?

[Mouse]

[hatchbackkid82]

[at3GG]

wouldn't you rather have -1 HP than a big hole in your bumper?

[hatchbackkid82]

The whole would only 2-3 inches across. some people don't mind it

[at3GG]

huh...well more power to you, keep us posted. At least its original! (for the yarii anyway)

[Red Horse]

I've seen some cars they put several round hole on the rear bumper

u lazy bum. i can get that headlight out in about 2 minutes once i get my handy screwdriver out.

but, if you do this, you should check out velocity stacks. they're for turbos. you can make it look like u got a turbo inlet right there...how cool would that be.

[hatchbackkid82]

It's for the air to pass through there instead of hitting the inside of your back bumper. A lot of import(civics) drag cars do this....it's a way to decrease drag.

[hatchbackkid82]

I wouldn't do this on a street car, unless i had civc ek with a k20 cylinder head and k24 bottom end:burnrubber:

[jouna]

i'm sick of seeing yaris arond here with holes and 3'' trumpets sticked in the bumper... oldest trick in the book. but the trumpet in the side looks cool its like you have a monster inside and thats the mouth lol a 90hp something monster jaja

Yup. I've been toying with the idea in my head since Garm had the Hood Design contest! maybe someday...

As far as having a hole in your bumper, it's all up to you man! Personal preferance. I always say, "To each their own."

The C-One bumper has a hole in it. It doesn't look too bad. That's just my opinion though. :iono:

Ahh. too lazy to post the pic. But here's a link to Micro Image thread with the pics of various kits.
