I'm sorry for my post, it was harsh and you never insulted me nor anyone else directly, but putting down their ideas is just as bad, there's no reason to be so negative to everyone's opinions just because they don't match yours, and I never said you hated third gens, I bet you love them just as much ad everyone else here, but we all have different plans for our cars and different budgets and time and skills too, I know that you are very educated about cars, so use that knowledge to help people, not to waste a very helpful thread

 

I think by "open element" he means and exposed air fileter in stear of having the ait filter hiding in the stupid black box that comes stock. I have one on my car and it looks nicer then stock. Just wish the guy I got the car from had the sense to get a k&n one with the airfilter top thing.

 

i think this thread is way off topic. has been for a while.

a post in a public forum is just that. a post. opinions are like socks. everyone has them. what is a mod to one is a standard to others. what works for one 1992 rs will not always work for another. no two people are the same. no two cars are the same. no two ideas are the same from different sources. if you ask different people there opinions on the same thing the answers will all be different. everyone needs to accept everyone elses opinions and differences and NOT label them.
no one is dumb.
no one is the same
no 2 cars are the same
no 2 people are the same
if you ask a question take all answers as there opinion and nothing else. who cares how it is worded or put forth. who cares if it was what you were looking for. it is their opinion. just as a public forum with thousands of different people. everyone is different and everyone will have their answer. take it as it comes. read it and be glad they posted.

 

ah, i have always been under eh assumption that an "open air element" was the little wire cage/basket in place of an air cleaner. A large exposed directly to air filter is a great mod over the stock intake, my bad on the misinterpretation.

they do look good!

 

You guys are a good bunch of dudes, and are generally respectful and knowledgeable. It just irks me when people post perfectly reasonable and legitimate ideas and opinions in such a negative way, which is weird that that started this avalanche. I didn't mean to insult or order anyone around, but is it really THAT unacceptable to ask someone to try to keep their posts more positive then negative? NOT change their opinions, just trying to be respectful about it. I know I'm young and have ***** of titanium, so bare with me when i say something rash or stupid. I find that making enemies gets you nowhere. But I do have certain values that I stand by, like trying to keep a thread I started positive. In my haste I think I just made it worse.


Also those open elements look awsome. I like the way Summit racing one's look.

 

This thing just went crazy. I am going to have to delete SO MANY emails.

 

yeah i stopped doing subscriptions to this forum I hated seeing you have 123 new emails...im like damn!

 

Alot of good starts but it can be done better. I would not go with the Open element again If I get another L03 thirdgen. Look up Niterider on here, he retro fit a hat and a SD intake setup. Works great and with a Hawks Ram Air setup it would be 100x better than a Open Element. It is a good upgrade for the money but it can be done better if you did it for the performance but I loved the sound it gave my L03 (Made a Deeper tone when revving). EGR Delete won't do much, why mess with it. Just leave it be. Everything else is a bleh to me. You will get more out of the L03 by just learning to tune it via EBL then doing all the upgrades you listed but alot of people dont venture that far unless they have done every bolt on possible.

My Old L03 was alot of fun but it was basically because of the 2200 Stall and 3.42 gears. Two upgrades I think every L03 should do before anything else.
