Hey where can I get one of these??!!?

I parked my car in my locked garage with the top down (as usual), in the 

morning I found my drivers seat to be wet, it seems my pet cat used it 

for her convenience.  It took a while to get rid of the smell of cats 

urine.



On the topic of CAI, here in Australia we have an old chap up in 

Queensland who makes his own CAI systems and exhaust systems.  I've got 

his kits in my '90 1.6 and the increase in power is tremendous, the 

sound is a pretty impressive low growl.  I now find myself changing 

gears at close to red line.  Performance claims are 133bhp (stock 

114bhp) for a 1.6 and 151+bhp (stock 128bhp) for a 1.8.  The cars with 

his performance kits are constantly the fastest around the Australian 

racing tracks.  He doesn't advertise at all, it is purely word of mouth, 

and he is quite busy and has recently started exporting to owners in the 

US and UK.
