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 |

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

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 |
