This might not be the right board for this but oh well. Last october i wrecked my 86 iroc, leaving work i got ran of the road by some a..s....... well you know. i hit the guard rail on the drivers side corner of the front end at about 15-20. didnt look to bad. well my uncles shop screwed around since i store my car in the winter till about late december to even start working on it. well his 2500$ estimate from looking it over jumped up to 5500$ when they tore it down earlier this month. it wasnt totaled but i wanted to save some money from that to get the whole car painted.

now. one of the things that jumped out at me on the estimate was the 450+$ air intake. i wanted to just buy a cone airfilter and pop it on the throttle body and go, saving 400 bucks. if im right my car has a maf system and after three weeks the only one ive found is from jegs and its not maf compatible, and i cant even find a cold air intake. i was wondering if anyone knew where to get one that is maf compatible or if im better off custom fabing a cold air myself with my dads pipe bender, and if that would work. thanks for any help.

 

Wow - all I can say is that for $5500, I could have 2 IROC's parked in the driveway! I'd say get another one, put your good parts on it, and part the rest.

 

my insurance is paying for it all i have to pay is the deductable. but like i said i wanted to save some money and have the insurance pay to get it all painted instead of paying for parts i dont need.

 

you might try summit racing 1-800-230-3030 they might have somthing that will work for your application or even Year One they offer alot of ome parts and stuff i dont know there phone number though

 

You can find build your own pieces at the local auto parts store.

 

this is very true i didnt even think of that

 

woot the first sign of progress since i wrecked it. built my own full custom cold air intake that included my maf sensor for less than 100 bucks. was so much easier when i just did it then it was thinking if it would work.
