so i tried to delete my double post to no avail...idk. there really isnt a whole lot you can do to these cars without allot of work huh. kind of a one off, take it or leave it or completely change it kind of deal. Am I right?

Hello all, I'm new to this forum. I have owned my 89 XT GL for about a year now with minor problems but overall satisfied. I am having a hard time locating any kind of parts for this thing and was hoping to get some knowledge from you guys. First is there any short or cold air intakes made to fit for the 1.8l? 2nd, has anyone fabricated a short ram themselves. i was thinking i could fab something up to relocate the MAF closer to the manifold and then just put a short pipe and cone filter on the end of it to free up some of that engine noise i love so much. I'm just trying to get ideas of how i want to go about it. I'm not kidding myself i'm not trying to make this thing go fast because nothing short of a swap to the turbo 6 would do that lol. I've already put a subtle performance muffler on the back and I'm just trying to get the front to match in sound. any help of comments are appreciated.
