Firstly, I know nothing about cars.

Ok, now that that's on the table:
I was talking to my friend on AIM and he said I should get a cold air intake. I'm like OK, let's meet up and Auto Zone. We get there, he opens the hood and tells me it ain't going to work because the way the engine is set up. He said I'd have to get it done custom. :mad:

You're carburated for one. That's a strike against you, if you want to get better air intake, get a weber carb.

Or you can pull the airbox of an old civic carb and use a CAI on there.

true true, I prefer Weber though, your gas mileage like doubles which I find hard to believe, but that's what I hear.

Yeah. All I have to do to pass is flip my lid back over (which it is now flipped back closed) and re-attach my hose connecting the valve cover to the air intake box. (basically just taking off my breather that gives me oh, say...35hp at least)...

not really. you will see a increase tho. i think most of the people that install a weber do it to replace a bad stock carb. So when drive around on a bad carb they have crappy gas mileage. When you install the weber you are getting a good carb, thus the increase in mileage.
