  Kind of ramblings, just a couple of things I wanted to get out there:

  My version of my Fast:

  "My fast doesn't like to be rubbed backwards"

  And, a friend of mine has been having odd car touble.  She came by so I could
  verify what type of fuel filter was installed, as to avoid picking up the wrong
  one (2 were listed). While speaking about her (soon to be ex-) husbands
  questionable automotive knowledge, she told me tales of how he was blowing the
  fuel filter out with an air compressor, expelling "chunks of stuff". Shortly
  after that, she mentioned something about a homemade "cold air intake", and
  suggested I pop the hood and take a look. I about died:

  Yup... That tube is going where you think it's going:

  ...right from the radiator exhaust, and straight to the air box.

  This is perhaps the best attempt at a HOT air intake that I have ever seen.

  She mentioned that he didn't have time to block off the other inlet (which
  actually sucks cold air). Thank goodness he was in a hurry that day! :)

  Next week I will be indoing that mod, along with a mild tune-up, including
  replacement of the likely-to-be-performated fuel filter.

  Enjoy!
  Al
