Re: [DML] Air intake performance

["John Elgersma" <delorean@xxxx>]

I will do just that!! With collector plates in BC, Canada, I have to 
adhere to ICBC strict rules of keeping the car in perfect stock 
condition so the insurance will not void in case of an accident. 
Putting everything back into its normal place is just fine but maybe 
I will just pack the low-performance OEM items in the trunk. In 
theory, the parts are still "in the car", in use or packed away!
Thanks again!!
