Well after going home yesterday I can say im in love with the Typhoon
The noise is amazing a nice bark at 1500 - 3000 rpm then a banshee cry after that .
That Is only at full throttle so is nice and low on the noise when you want it to be .
The kit was a great fit and looks nice in the engine bay and as it is a cold air intake should not lose any BHP .
One last pic of it all in and back together .

Been a busy boy this weekend but I have installed all of the below with no major problems ( gear box filler nut and the inlet stud removal ) .
A few pic
First up an engine flush and oil and filter change .
Then was a gearbox oil change
Removed the broken rad fans
Then was the Inlet pendulum
Spark plug change was next
A quick belt change as old one was not in good nick
Then install the new rad fans after some joining of the wires
Then on to the last bit the K & N typhoon
Al done
Next up is a Uprev to finish this off .
Alan
Never herd of this .
Is this a must then ?

If you're doing the gearbox oil then I'd definitely add a tube of Molyslip whilst you're there.

First post so be nice
After reading about the problems with the rad fans today i drove home ( 25 mile trip ) and then sat the car at idle just to check and the temp went up to just before the red before i switched it off as to not hurt the engine .
No fans came on well the far right one did ( near the air filter side ) but very slow and with a bit of a wobble and then went out and never came on again .
Car is full of coolant so i take it the fans have had it .
Question is where is the best / cheep place to get a replacment and two it looks like a simple job to do ( not to bad with the spaners )
Thanks
Alan
