Looking for a cheap intake solution for the CX7. The only intake available is almost $300. Took the AEM off of the 6 and figured what the heck.

Everything fits perfect. Car runs good, better response, better sound (can hear the turbo spool) and the midrange/top end power has improved. Did I mention this new only cost $130?
 
How do you like the CX7? I'm not sure what the hell I want to get next year now that I sold the Cougar.. I definately want boost though, thats a for sure!

Just test drive one. I had my doubts but after driving one I am very impressed.

A little something some of you may not know.....this "SUV" in the slalom was only 1 MPH!!!!! slower than the WRX.:help: :eek: This thing handles like a car.:cool:
 
yah isnt the tagline something like the SUV with the soul of a sports car or something?

I've been thinkin either Mazda CX7, Subaru WRX, Saab 9-2X or the Vovo S40 -- I havent test driven anything yet as I dont want to buy until Jan or Feb of next year.

does it require at least 91 octane fuel? I have seen a few F/I cars coming out that only require 87. Like the Cobalt SS supercharged for example.
 
It requires at least 91 octane.

As for pics of the ride....soon. Didn't want to post dirty pics.:shrug:

The 6 is gone. Traded to get the CX7. Definte upgrade.:cool:

Check out the Saab 9-2X -- its basically the same car but has better incentives right now -- I think its 5-7K off sticker right now which is cool because the Turbo is the Aero model which lists at almost 30K
 
Wouldnt be for a few months. If anything, Im waiting until I can drop a good down payment, not to mention sell my SVT (get payments as low as possible). I would guess Feb-Mar., so Ill have to wait and see whats happening then.
