hey guys.. see i am sorta dating this girl from ohio.. and i wanna go see her over spring break... im scared of taking my car that far. FL to OH. i have the cold intake and full exhaust.. i only have 22500 miles on my car.. and its like 950 up there.. sooo.. what do you guys think... will it hurt my car goin that far. i really dont drive all that far.. its like 7 tanks of gas... but ive got 2 tvs... could watch movies.. all 3 lotr extended editions... jeezz. its like 15 hrs. and i am gonna put my original stock tires back on....... so lemmeknow

 

Should be fine, can't see why there'd be a problem.

 

well, i hope its ok, i've driven back and forth from louisiana to kansas twice in about 6 months. what could be wrong or go wrong on a cross country trip in your car?

i could understand if you were really pushing the boost in a turbo setup, but your aren't, so i can't see any problems.

 

yeaaa.. im just nervous... i usually only drive an hour..

 

lol ur gonna drive and watch movies at the same time?

 

but def. good luck tho...just drive speed limit or a lil over to achieve the maximum - effective gas mileage for ur car =P

 

it sounds bad.. haha but im really good at it. i promise! im not a crazy kid. not payin attention or somethin. haha. i learned well. i always drive stick, while talking on the phone, watching movies.. haha! im safe.

im getting the girl to pay for my gas. hahaha! im poor. is that cold

 

LOL!!! mad slick!

 

DONT WORRY ABOUT IT!. i drove from Dallas to Seattle w/ SRI. then back to Dallas. then back to Seattle w/ my mods on (read sig.) dallas->seattle= 2300miles.

 

Your car should be fine. If i were you though i'd replace the donut with a full size tire/rim for the trip.

 

I really wouldn't suggest driving and watching TV at the same time. That's just dumb... unless you meant you would be driving with someone else and then it's cool. Driving should take all of your attention... you are rolling a heavy object that could potentially kill people. If you need something to pass the time listen to CDs or humm.

i knew i would get some smak over that comment. haha. no ive got the tv in the middle... im gonna switch out the stock rims.. so it doesnt mess up my racing tires or anything.. and i may switch my CAI back with the stock airbox to get more MPG

 

yeah, that sounds about right...changing the stock airbox will save ur girl's money too lol...just playing...=P

 

Your engine will need the air. I made trips from Grand Rapids , MI to Jacksonville, NC be fore and after my SRI install and I had better mileage with the SRI than when I had the stock airbox! And I hauled mora azz through Ohio when I had my intake on too! going through Cinci I was goin about 65x2 with a guy in a black and yellow Supra (obviously he did not disconnect his NOS when we got into Kentucky!!!)That was about the same distance that you have to make, so I do have to remind you to be safe and watch out for those Ohio cops! Anyway, you should be fine with CAI, but you should put your stock tires back on like you said! Be safe out there man! PEACE!!!!!!

thanks ben.

yeeeaaa cops do suck. i dont think i have any tickets left to get. cops around here know me by the sound of my car. haha. they just pull out not even seeing me. sucks. oh well. least im infamous!

so ill leave my cai on. that would save me alot work...

last long trip i took was up to sleek concepts place (7hrs.) and on the way home i got in a pack of a black supra, prelude, some audi or nice car, and a cop and we all did like 95-105 all the way home.. i was so scared, but the cop just stayed right with us. didnt say anything, didnt do anything. now that was fun.

oh and you guys that drive this drive. if ya have any route secrets.. i just got info off mapquest.com, the girl lives around Akron ohio. MQ says 95 to I26 to I77 to US250 all the way up
