  1. anyone know where I can get one ? I'm after retaining the OEM airbox

     

    the only thing I could stumble across through google searching was this gotuning.com titanium intake pipe

    and at $400 its a tad expensive for me right now, but is on the list of future buys.

    I know you can also get the samco intake pipe but that's not what I'm after really

  2. Speaking from experience I used to drink and drive got caught and I'm glad they did because it taught me a lesson, even though I didn't hurt anyone the times I did it, you can be so incapable and not even realise it,now I wouldn't even consider getting in the car the day after or take my keys or car out with me, some cars can be a handful sober let alone drunk when your feeling invincible, I lost my job because of it.

    This was when I was 20, (now 27) and the only thing Ive had on my licence, I took a drink driving rehabilitation course and had my 12month ban reduced to 9, learnt a little bit aswell.

     

     

  3. Bit of an update as I've managed to do a few bits and bobs even though the weather is !!!! And I'm now soaked

     

    Here's what the head unit looks like installed really pleased with it but think I'll order a new fascia see if I can get it to sit flush (bit of a nightmare)

    Not bad for a Chinese eBay job head unit really pleased with its endless functions

     

    Here's the carbon fibre engine cover with the plenum not so sure about it, plus the top left bolt hole won't line up

    What's your opinions ? The carbon fibres between the two seem to have a slight different colour to them

     

    Then decided to get rid of the fried egg, only took 10 minutes really easy mod to do

    Now going to make a start on polishing the old plenum heard this take a long time so it's something I can do when the weathers bad and I can't work on the zed

     

    Started putting the bolt kit in so here's how today ended up looking

    Anyone know how you get the studs out that the engine cover/plenum sit on ? Is it just s case of two nuts and undo it ?

     

  4. So I've got the stuff together to do a few minor mods, I know pretty much the direction I want to take the car in (i think) even though I don't really want to modify it being a GT4.

     

    So there's a few things I've done which I haven't taken pics of ... Yet, but at the moment the cars in bits and I still need quite a few things before it's even near an acceptable level

     

    At the moment I'm in the middle of fitting a reversing camera and fitting my carbon fibre plenum, I don't get paid much (being in the forces) so things are quite slow for big parts.

    Worried when I seen these two pipe and the CF plenum doesn't have them

    Not to worry though I can do a throttle body coolant bypass

     

    Here's it being test fitted
