Ebay my man... 92-96 Prelude intake works pretty good on the 3100... check out my cardomain page for more...

Yep, I did the same. Prelude 2 piece intake works. This is the most professional way of doing an intake for the 3100 and not paying an arm and a leg. Your other alternative is an intake by tranzgenic. They make one for $169 for the 3100. Check it out here (http://tranzgenic.com/www/products.php). I would go with the prelude intake, but that's just my opinion.

We need a sticky or something on the CAI for the 3100...this has been brought up too many times...

do Strut Tower Braces make a diff in performance or are they just a waste of money?

yes they change the handling pretty good ... if you like to speed down those windy roads...

As for the chip... sorry to say bud but your in the club as me... we use a stupid computer setup.. its a obd 1 system but a 16 pin connector which is used for obd 2 systems... Well as for a chip.. nobody makes them for our 94-95 years... only way is to get your ecm flashed (reprogramed) ive found places on the net that do it.. but it would be about 300$ or so plus shipping.. so not worth it for the gains you get... PS your car can do 176 kph or 110 mph.. why go faster... i had a chip in my beretta 3.1 and i had it up to 119 mph once... and it took forever to get that extra 10 mph... and i was going downhill.....

They do more for handling then performance. I just put front and rear strut bars on mine and they make a huge difference. The handling on corners and curves on the highway is 5x better then before. I would get both if you're going to get some though. They work better together.

RSM. I got both the front and back from them. We had a group buy that just went down and got 25% off.

Im not sure if that intake would work for you because i do not think that they had a MAF in 95. I know they didnt in 94

I'm not sure if the '95 has a MAF, but why wouldn't he be able to use that intake if he doesn't? Just curious. :)

Some 95's did, some didn't. Anyways you could just connect both pipes together then...
