Ok this is not for my celica but for my gf's 91 Civic HB but I'm sure it can't be that much different.
We recently installed a generic CAI, since installing it the gas mileage seems to have dropped off from like 31mpg to like 24-25. Now naturally my arguement is that she's been driving it at higher rpm's to hear the intake like I did when I got mine. But for the last few days I've been driving it while my Celica is getting kit installed and I notice the mileage to be lower as well. Anyone have any ideas on why trhis could be? Could it be the enclosed cone filter sucks really bad? (Tho I can't see how it could be worse than the really restrictive stock box) Any other ideas?
Next...
Rotors, how can one tell if they are warped? (Beyond the obvious shimming when you step on them) and what are the other reprecussions of a stupid previous owner over torquing the lug nuts? (I had to snipe a ratchet and busted it on the 9th lug nut)
Thanks
