Had my coupe for about 2 months now and it just seems to be a bit slow to accelerate, I know automatics are a bit slower to accelerate than manuals, but I just wanted to know if there anything I can do to improve acceleration.

Also my accelerator pedal is starting to feel a bit loose, it feels like I have press down very hard to get the car moving, any body got any suggestions about fixing that.

many thanks

Ahh no need to appoligise.

a CAI is a Cold air intake, which in a nutshell is a tube with a filter, on the end. The CAI attempts to collect cold air from lower in the engine bay for the engine to use.

is the CAI easy to fit or would I need a mechanic to do it?

No its very easy with simple tools. Takes about 30mins from start to finish if taking it slow. Tho with a CAI i think you will have to remove the old airbox and resanator. Which can be abit of a pain.

Im not too sure as i have a SRI and i left my OEM air box and resanator in place cause im a lazy git :lol:
