  1. 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 .

  4. 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
