i simply bought a honda civic 1997 and everything was nice and at a reasonable price so i purchased it. he told me before hand it had everything but an air intake. so i said ok since those are lesser and pretty cheap to buy. and when i drive my car it has a nice whistle air sucking sound like a turbo and it's bonny cool. so do i even need an air intake. what can happen if i dont put one in. what does it do anyway?
If you don't you will be sucking in hot air, and mayhap dirt/dust into your motor.
An air intake just takes air and puts it in the motor. Motors run by using air and ammunition in a mixture to produce combustion that makes your car move.
So without an intake of some sort. Your hurting your car.
It would be like you sitting in front of a heater and only using your nose to whisper. You see how that would be difficult? lol =p

u necessity a aif filter of some sort to filter teh air going into ur motor... otherwise ur sucking in trash and dirt wich will get going to engine failure.....u can pick up a universal filter that shud slide right onto the meet air sensor for under 20 bucks at a parts store

Two things will come off.
1 is that it will suck dirt and dust and what ever else feel like getting suck in at the time.
2 is that it will suck to much air and will run to skinny which will burn valves in the cylinder head.
Although it sounds good the ringing of the cash register wont shape that crash hot when you get the bill for repairs.

Accurate now My father has 3 Cars, One HONDA CRV 1997, One Honda Accord 1993, and One Honda Civic 1997. My father had a recent accident couples months ago on the accord. I was looking to truck my civic for a 3000GT. How much of a difference (Around) And how much around it would cost?

I am in the supermarket for a new car. I'm trying to do some research on insuring the car I might be getting. I was quoted $6,000 for full coverage on a 2007 Honda Civic Si Sedan (per year) from my stylish insurance company. My insurance now is $1,700 (per year) and I drive a red 2000 Ford Taurus, virtuous liability. What would be some suggestions on picking a car? Will new or used be a difference (I will be financing either way)? Why a $4,300 jump in price?

I have a Honda Civic '99 that normally gets 30-35 mpg in a combo of freeway and metropolis driving but has been averaging 25-30 last few weeks. I tried almost everything I could think of (getting higher quality gas, cleaning the sustain injectors, accelerating more smoothly, driving the freeway more and with cruise, optimizing tire pressure, etc.) with midget success. Today, the battery suddenly died on me but I eventually got it replaced.
Will a dying car battery motive such a drastic change in fuel efficiency? Theoretically, I'd think it'll impact fuel efficiency if it quick loses its charge and additional energy is spent each time recharging it.. can a dying battery occasion the MPG to drop around 15% or could it be other more serious problems?
