That reminds me of something from 2 weeks ago...
Me and my friend were going to pacmall in his civic and vtec wasnt really working properly and the car was stubling like craaazy....
So I pop'd his hood after we got back and looked inside and noticed he had an aem cold air intake.... I wiggled the pipe a little bit and to my surprisement, snow came out of the front fender well it was hiding it.
So I took off the plastic liner under neath and, voila.. you couldnt even see the filter snow was packed in there so good.....
Finally got the filter off and, haha, it was almost 1 big ball of ice. Solid ice. I brought it inside and put it in my sink and ran hot water over it for like 2-3 mins and then told him to go buy a new filter because this one was done. There was a nice hole in it and it was ... "nasty" looking.
Moral of the story... Cold air intake + Winter... Check it often. Dont let this happen to you.
