Yah there was some modifcations required. The plastic "caps" that screw onto the back of the light housing had to have holes drilled in them to allow for the new wires to come through. There is rubber stoppers put into the holes so that only the wires fit through snugly and not any water or dirt. Al...

Bought the kit June of 2005 from a friend who has a car shop, $600. Had to get help with the installation because all the instructions were in Japanese only hahah.

thanks for the info, i still have to connect the pcv tube to the intake so that i don't get any tickets for EPA violations. I will post some pics after that is done

Thanks for the responses, I think I will just wait and let it reset itself. I have some pics if anyone wants to see the results, but i'm not sure how to post them here.

Hi, I have a 2004 Optra and i'm making an intake for it because i can't find any aftermarket ones. I have a question, i tried running the engine for a little bit with the air sensor unplugged just to see if it would run. To my surprise, it worked perfectly. As i expected the check engine light came ...

Wow so I'm not the only one haha... I have the stupid scratches too. Only noticed them after the winter, so they must have been from all the salt and sand on the roads. I don't see why this would happen to our woos when I've never seen it happen to any other cars that my family has owned.

Thanks for the info kronik, I will definitely use that kind of plastic when I get mine going.

BTW if that car got a chevy badge on it will it be a chevy optra??

Yes, exactly.

The way I see it, plastic would transfer less heat from the engine bay air to the intake air running through the pipe because it is a poor conductor of heat. As for smoothness of the pipe, yes I think a custum bent metal pipe would be smoother, but it would also transfer more heat to the intake air....

Just curious.... what kind of bad things are you talking about ? I was thinking of using pvc to make an intake for my Optra.

Hey this is my first post here I was also thinking of getting an intake on my optra, but i was wondering how it sounds. Is there any chance you could record a sound or video clip ? Like revving and maybe a driveby?

BTW, kinkyllama what is your name on cardomain?
