Not sure if this will work for the Viento but it's worth a shot...

oh yeh forgot to mention ive done that one too but didnt notice any difference as far as performance goes but i did notice that the revs jump a lot higher when the car is started and take a while longer to settle down to idle
is that supposed to happen?

heres the pictures if anyones interested
i think its pretty obvious wat part i cut out
tomorrow im gonna go down to the hardware store and pick up some drain pipe to make a duct running into the box to give the filter some cold air
also out of curiosty do u guys have straight fours?? id never heard of a galant that wasnt a V6 till i came here? did all the jap cars get given 6's and the US ones 4's ?

heres some ideas for free mods(not sure if they will do anything performance wise but at the very least it would save weight)
egr block off
charcoal canister removal
throttle body coolant block off
cold air intake
oil/air separator
tighten throttle cable

anyone else got ideas or know how to do any of these things ?(except for the cai and throttle cable mods they are both well documented)

you can hack at the airbox some more. uhm get a k&n filter for better airflow, maybe route some dryer hose or something so u can direct cold air to the filter
