Comptech icebox

[hacim]

The Comptech icebox is out and ready to be shipped. I checked it out thru msn search ( Comptech Sport- Buy Online ) and its only 258 and then add 17.50 for shipping and handiling. Time to save my money and get that. I have been waiting for it and now its here. Yehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[silver ep]

Alright Im excited! Ill be ordering that very soon! :D

Do you think thats a pretty good price?

[fishboy]

sounds like a good price. i got my CAI for 230 and for 50 bucks more you dont have to worry about water. post pics of your installs, ok? :)

[hacim]

I think its pretty good. Go check it out on that link. I dont know how to post links on hee so you have to do the leg work your self.

[silver ep]

Im having trouble finding the website, what is the companies name that is selling the icebox

[hacim]

Its autocarparts.com

[silver ep]

thanks! :D

[hacim]

No problem, did you check it out? They only show the picture for the 99-00 Si but they state its for the 2002 Si.

[sicivic2002]

I would double check before ordering. I sent them an e-mail askin if it was specifically for the SI.

[hacim]

That was a smart move, let me know what they tell you. I definetly would like to know, might be time for the credit card to come out.

[silver ep]

the credit card is on its way out!

I just hope they really have it

[hacim]

me to. I will definetly call and bitch if its a typo. I cant stand how there isnt customer service now days. I just hope its the real deal and I cant wait for April when I get my fat ass return.:)

[sicivic2002]

Alright guys I will let you all know as soon as they e-mail me back.

does anyone know how this intake sounds?

[silver ep]

_Heres a quote from a 99 si owner talking about the icebox:

"Their new Ice Box cold-air intake system supplies outside air to their open-element air intake system. Unlike some other systems we have seen, the Comptech setup features the necessary fittings for the air intake temperature sensor.
So what did these parts do for performance? According to Atlantic Performance's Dynojet chassis dyno, our horsepower at the front wheels went from 136 up to 151, about an 11-percent increase. There were no loses at the bottom end, either, so street manners are still good. What the dyno doesn't show is the increase in throttle response."

Im pretty sure it doesnt sound as loud as CAIs, I think it has a nice deep tone.

[iHeartOxycotin]

easy fix, call comptech: 1-916-933-1080
ask them, i've talked to them about 2 weeks ago, they said november, but who knows? :confused:

probably like this....

wooooooooooooohhhhhh.....waaaaaaaaaaaa.....waaaaaa aaaaahhhhhhh.

[silver ep]

anyone heard anything yet? Im going to call/email autocarparts tomarrow.

[sicivic2002]

I called them and the guy I talked said to e-mail their technical support. So I did that just waiting on an e-mail back. At first the guy said it was for the coupe's and then he said he would check on it. But then told me he really wasn't sure and to e-mail tech support.

[silver ep]

damn they dont know what the hell is going on, hopefully you can get a strait answer. They ought to know their shit! :mad:

[joneSi]

I ordered mine from nopi.com, and they said that it was in fact for the 02 si....I didn't e-mail them, but I didn't think that it was a problem. If it is, then I wait. The comptech website said that its out, I think....

joneSI

[silver ep]

"It should be ready any day now and ship directly from Comptech. All advance orders will ship from Comptech's facility."

That is a quote from the guy at autocarparts, I wish I knew exactly when they will be out, but Im waiting on 2 other emails from Comptech and I think modacar, Ill let you know what I find out

[hacim]

Sounds great i cant wait.

[joneSi]

The bastards at nopi.com suck...I ordered the intake, and they claim to have e-mailed me :rolleyes: Which I know is crap, cause I would have the e-mail....and I don't!!! Anyway, they say that they don't have the part, and that they contacted comptech, and THEY don't have it either, so I guess its not there????? So I went to autoparts.com like you guys and gave that a go. I'll see what they can do for me.

The comptech Ice Box has to be used with their short ram filter doesn't it?

So if the Ice Box is $250 and thier intake is $190 (I'm guessing) that's a lot for a CAI.

I would assume since it's called the Ice box that it will include the whole deal. Isn't this how it worked with the 99-00 si's?

8 hp and 7 ftlb over stock air intake on a
car with our headers and exhaust. Won't suck
up water!

Air Intake Kit, Comptech Sport (99-00 Civic Si)

From Comptech's Site.

Too much coin for my taste.

Steve

[silver ep]

Steve: that looks like $330 to me :confused:

but on autocarparts its like $259, what am I missing?

[ssvr6]

This is for the 99-00 Si, not ours. (There's no info for our cars on their site.)


Steve

[silver ep]

Steve: thanks for clearing that up for me.

I hate to be a whiner but Im really getting impatient, I want that icebox now dammit! :mad:

[sicivic2002]

Ok I finally got a reply back from autocarparts.com.


I'm sorry, but Comptech is not ready to release this item, ETA is in any day now. They are putting the finishing touches on the intake.

That is exactly what they sent me.

[joneSi]

The comptech icebox is the short ram with a cold air extension. I think that the prices that I've seen are for the entire set...if not I STILL WANT ONE.

you gotta LOVE those gains!

joneSi

[silver ep]

Thanks for the feedback, I have yet to hear back from Comptech

I wonder how long "any day now" is?

[joneSi]

I'm callin' bs on the part of autocarparts.com They just sent me an e-mail and they cancelled my order, this is what they said:

"Thank you for your order. Unfortunately, this part # has not been released by Comptech yet. There is no ETA on this yet, but may be around the end of October.
Due to the unknown availability date, I am cancelling this order, and voiding the authorization to your credit card.
If you would like to order this item in the future, please email us first for availability (around the end of October)."

Ef that. Those bastards...All I want is some decent bolt ons!!!!

Anybody know where I can get a header or exhaust?????

joneSi

[ssvr6]

Nopionline....HP header. Shipped to your door for under $200.

Steve

[joneSi]

I looked, no luck though on nopionline.com. I think I'm gonna go all comptech except exhaust...(thats WAY too much $)

joneSi

[ssvr6]

You have to look for the base RSX for the HP header.


Steve

[joneSi]

I think I'm gonna wait for either the comptech or DC Sports...something like that...

[iHeartOxycotin]

i just 5 seconds ago talked to another guy from comptech, he told me this...

Available now: Springs / Strut Bars

Available at the end of this month: Headers / Exhaust

Available at the end of November: Icebox/Intake

Chalk up another sad day for us owners, i was getting excited when i heard a few ppl on this post found it for sale so i called again, all we can do is wait. :(

[silver ep]

thats very depressing news about the icebox coming out not till november :(

its cool the exhaust and headers are coming out soon though

[hacim]

Thats ok, it gives me an opurtunity to save some cash for the icebox. Cant expect every company out there to be punctual with product release dates.

[ssvr6]

Headers are $500 and the Exhaust is $650. That's just fvcking nuts.
