oh the fibreglass haha yeait does ay

ok so update
bought a K&N pannel (of ebay ofcourse) just gonna put it in NOW

bought a O2 sensor as the current one is farked i beleive (got this little thing of greg (astroboy)) waiting for it to come

cleaned the car from the inside, all the door sills, boot etc, next will be the engine bay with a gurney

i sealed up the stocko filter box, as the pipe running in to it had at one point very long ago had some insulating foam around it, so i remade a similar thing, so the engine is once again geting air from the outside (99% of it anyway, left the drain hole)
i will be removing the resonator sometimes, and il put a air feed from the front bumper straight to the box, but not just yet, i gotta buy some mesh 1st and am still deciding in colour lol

thats it for now
Tony

scott b · 31-07-2009, 05:15 PM

black mesh. on urs n my car, theres no other option :P

70NYD · 31-07-2009, 05:17 PM

yeah i was thinking between a black and silver.. i had black on my old car and u couldnt see it, but i guess its not the point of seeing it, its just to keep the sht out..

Dogo · 31-07-2009, 05:30 PM

may as well continue the black and white theme.

70NYD · 31-07-2009, 05:42 PM

points taken

marcs_sp20 · 31-07-2009, 06:28 PM

as the others have said, go black as its there for a purpose, not an attraction.

I've watched this thing evolve since March 2008, and gotta admit its now one sexy beast

Cheers
Marc

70NYD · 31-07-2009, 07:09 PM

cheers mate i do beleive i will go with the black now that everyone is saying it haha
i just need to measure it up to c if 1 will be enough for the front and the skirts

and i need a glue gun as well

70NYD · 31-07-2009, 07:20 PM

oh and on a quick note i received the k&n AND the O2 sensor 2dai. filter went in with little effort, the rubber seal is just a little thicker than the old one (which was 13YO lol) and i had to take the hose of to fit it..
the O2 sensor (props to astroboy for the part and awesomely quick delivery) will be going in at noon 2moro, or whenever i wake up haha
as it is right now its 10L/100km so we shall see if this makes a difference

also i called up many different exhaust shops and again pipewerks (where i got my muffler instaled originaly) said that a highflow stainless cat for the astina is 280 installed which is quite awesome il c what happens

well thank you very many, it kjinda has been preserved as the couple i bough it of are somwhat car enthusiast of their own. they were just in to restoring much older cars, such as a collection of paccards

it didnt see much sun when it was parked when it was with them and i am keeping it that way now

Rix · 01-08-2009, 11:33 AM
