I recently purchased a cherry Nebula Grey 2015 CT200H with only 13k miles on it. I love it, but was not impressed with the acceleration, or lack thereof. I was bound and determined to improve on it without resorting to a CAI. My reasoning is they make too much noise. Why not work with the OEM air box and air horn assembly. I have been doing it a little at a time, kinda like the scientific method. Tonight I was coming back from a Birthday dinner, and was able to get out on the highway after hours. What was bothering me, and everyone else who I read on this and elsewhere is the lazy acceleration. That ended tonight. I almost can not believe it. Im not going into exactly what Ive done just yet. And there is more to do, Im just posting this in hopes there are others that might be interested in upping the performance and fun of driving this fantastic little car. Here's the best part, its actually as quiet or quieter than stock!
Let me give you a little backround on me, Im a cylinder head specialist for the the last 40+ years, so I know a thing or two about improving flow in motorcycle heads for racing purposes. This was just a little project to see if it could be done, and Im here to tell you that its most impressive, and I still have the stock air filter in yet. Im sure as you read this your saying to yourself it sounds too good to be true. Around town its definitely better, but where it really shines is on the highway. I will be releasing info on what to do, and im sure anyone interested in doing it themselves can probably guess some or most of what there is to do. Its the last piece I got really lucky on, and I have to get that manufactured to spec. Once everything is in place, highway driving and spirited driving will be making you smile, it did me, that's why I'm posting this. This is my first ever post here, and I hope Im not crossing any line with the moderators, but I was so impressed, I just had to tell someone who might care.
