Howdy all. Got a great call this morning, looks like an offer letter is being fedex'd to me today from Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America, now I have got to figure out how to approach the company I talked to last wednesday about if they are interested and if so that I need an offer by Wednesday or Thursday.

That's fantastic!

Lisa, that sucks

Hope you're feeling better.

Lisa!

I too, hope you feel better soon!

Lunar Limelight · 04-23-2007, 02:17 PM

Thanks guys. I am feeling much better. I get to go back to work today.....

Anyone happen to have a 01/02 tray that mounts under the bumper like the little plastic tray that deflects water and **** down?

I've got the stock piece for a 99, if ya need it. But its actually easier (and better) to just build yer own from a scrap sheet of alum.

The stock piece is like furry cardboard -- POS piece...

Ya, I just had my second one get torn off my car (99/00 style) maybe I do just need to get a sheet of alluminum and put it on there. I just don't want to go very long without it and end up sucking some water through the CAI into the brand new engine. Was looking for possibly a 01/02 since I am likely buying a bumper from Kurt and that is an 01/02.

It's doubtful that you'll suck water up there man. My CAI is about 3" from the ground and I've run in pouring rain. (My filter is exposed from the front-left hole in my bumper to the airflow.) Never had a water problem, the length of the pipe and intake pressure isn't enough to suck water that high. Of course, if you're worried you could just get a check-valve, AEM and Injen make them.

This is a very true statement. Now you have me thinking like an engineer again and make me realize it would take a **** load of suction to pull water up a 3 inch pipe. Thanx for slapping some sense into me on this one.

Ya, sometimes I wish I could turn off the engineering side of my brain. There's times I'd much rather look at something and go, "Duuuuhhhh..." :P
