im just wondering if they are connected. is your air filter connected to your intake? and what exactly does a intake do?
well you have what we call here a snorkel into the airbox. which is where your air filter is located. then after running through a hose it goes into the throttlebody/intake. which mixes the fuel and air together to prepare it for entering the combustion chamber. that is for fuel injected engines. carbureted engines though just have an air filter into the carb.
some ceramic tile is polished to a high gloss, while some is matte finish. for the floor, a high gloss would be dangerously slippery. a matte finish is best. is the grout white? too bad if it is, because there are so many colors of grout to choose from nowadays that dont show the dirt like white does. there is a product you can apply to the grout to protect it. i suspect that it is what is used in the restaurants and public washrooms. whatever you do, dont apply a high gloss finish to your ceramic floor tile. the grout sealer comes with easy to follow directions. make sure and clean or bleach the grout first before you apply the sealer
I looked into tiling our basement floor a few years ago. The tile installer at the store said to put down a layer of thick tar paper on the floor and tile as you normally would right on top of it. He said this serves two functions, it keeps moisture out, and it lessens the chances of cracks showing up. He showed me areas in the store where they tiled over existing tile, linoleum, wood. Using the felt allows for easy removal when a displayed tile is discontinued. Thinset sticks perfectly to it. We were going to do just that but ended up using rubber-backed carpet squares instead, which are working out great.
An airtake isn't a specific part, it's a whole system, that brings air into the engine for mixing with the fuel. The air filter/cleaner is one part of the air intake system.
Air intake is a tube that air gets pulled through in order to get it into the engine. the air filter is what filters all of the dirt and debri out of the air as its going through the air intake so you dont get dirt in your engine.
