Ok having trouble with all the materials...

went to clarks rubber and burnnings to get some inspiration for the CAI...

I have found 3meter silver coil vent induction pipe but they cost too much and let alone dont need 3 metere/$21.60.

Found nice silver sheet of aluminium $18.23 or some thing like that, quite suitable...

found foam with silver lining but it also pretty fragile, not sure how it will hold with all the heats from the engine...

my best option is to go with aluminium sheet for the box and for piping...

saw few PVC pipes but hey are booldy heavy and there is not many choice to shoose from, they are rock hard and not sure how malleble they are with heat gun... but I shall try!

anyway thanks for reading... you polly think I am stingie one but yeah I am student with no $$$ :lol:

BTW can anyone show me how to take off the Front stock spoiler for series one?!?

cheers

Joe, the air duct stuff from bunnings is bloody expensive, try an airconditioning supply place (sorry forgot the name of where I went, but it only cost me $11 instead of $21). That foam stuff from clarks seems ok in my car, haven't had probs yet and you have to buy it by the lineal metre, so enough for 2 partitions.

Maybe someone will go halves on both and save you even more dollars (sorry I already gave my leftovers away)

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
