Prank, thanks dude. Yeah the funky bonnet vent is there. It's actually getting a respray while the car is in the shop. If you remember, it had a black finish. Will be same colour as car now in a semi-matt finish as it's fibreglass. If they don't use matt, the ripples will show too much.

Do you go to BD4's as well? They are the best tune-shop in my books. Well, I might be a bit biased but they are good. :)

megs, ha ha ha!! i know what thats like!!

ONARUN,

no mate, i *did* but paul and I (or BD4's and i) dont really get along any more....

i wont get into it mate, i dont want anything being said about any business' on the boards.

Prank,

The stuff I used was AlcoBond. It's two sheets of 1mm aluminium seperated by 3mm of plastic. It has really good reflective and heat insulation properties. Then on the inside I coated it with the clark rubber insulating foam stuff.

Works well, and looks good too. lol

Hey Jay95, nice airbox man

My future plans revolve around tempratures, with the exhaust done I'm currently lookingsaving for the frount mount IC. Secondly with the Jay's pics as inspiration I start building my cold air box tomorrow.

Soooo, can anyone tell me what's the difference's between my current K&N pod filter (the big one, about 25cm) and Jay's smaller filter. Is it just a different sucking sound?

just spray it with de-greaser and clean it... buy two so when ones drying you can use the other.

i bought a new one and it was as dirty as my old one within a week... i am not gonna buy a new pad every week.

Not yet !!!!

But it's not too far away. In the next few weeks I should have something for you guys.

Looks like I'll have to buy a reem of paper and a box of 50 stamps cause that's about how many people are after it LOL.

But yeah, I've just got to get the time to do it.

I'm getting a 3 inch mandrel font pipe put on on this Saturday morning. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
