Hey Nick, I have a set of K&N drop-in for sale, since I installed the short-ram, I have no use of it.

It only has about 200 miles on it, since I don't drive in Winter.

Still have boxes and the +20hp-Stickers!!!

Honestly, I think whatever is cheaper will do. Sure, you'll have to clean and re-oil the latter at 30K intervals (but it's really nbd), and if you buy the former you can tell everyone at the meets that you have a Cosworth (part in your) 370Z, but really whatever you can find for a lower price should do

I wish they made a Cosworth that would fit on the Gen 3.

Recently I have been hearing bad things about K&N. In the tests I have seen posted by people of the forum it doesnt filter as well as you would think. Seems like the Cosworths do a better job.

Mr.kenchan, I bet you will have some Häagen-Dazs Coffee tonight or tomorrow as being part of the celebration, right??

The weather forecast is saying it's going be warm and sunny in Toronto Saturday & Sunday.... for now.... You know, weather is just like mood of gf or the stock market...

I hopefully can have some Z these couple days too

oh every night is hagdaz night for me. i need to do some car work to burn off some calories...

lol at weather fluctuation and inconsistency. one would really need to know patterns to guess wat it might be like the next day. hahahaha.

although my weatherbug app has been pretty damn accurate.

Alchemy- That's also why I'm debating cosworth drop ins...

Kenchan- Congrats! I'm sure you're excited to get that car back on the road. Surprised you use Mobil 1 though (not trying to start a great oil debate)
