14N Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Great list. Keep us updated on your progress Quote
GMballistic Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 If you're doing the gearbox oil then I'd definitely add a tube of Molyslip whilst you're there. Link: http://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-fluids/gearbox-oil/molyslip-gearbox-protector Good luck with it all. Quote
WhackyWill Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Just go to Clark Motorsport on here or Zmanalex and get a Service kit which includes all you want, and also the other items you want, they will also supply. :thumbs: Quote

veeg33 Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Added them to my gearbox last month as recommended by Clarks Motorsports (great guys). It does what it says on the tin for a reasonable price Quote
GMballistic Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 ^^ Nice & quick delivery too. Alan all I'll say about the Molyslip is that as glrnet mentioned it's silly not to add it really. Such a cheap item and does exactly what it says on the tin so to speak. When I first got my 350 Zed 1st gear to 2nd wasn't the best and 5th to 6th was worse. Had the gearbox oil changed and a tube of Molyslip added at the same time by Horsham Developments which cured the problems. Happy days. 1 Quote
Kaveney Posted September 15, 2014 Author Posted September 15, 2014 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 ) .

Kaveney Posted September 15, 2014 Author Posted September 15, 2014 Posted Today, 09:30 Wow, you've been busy there fella! Yes did take al weekend but was fun and the extra noise is a + Alan Quote
GMballistic Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Very nice Alan. K&N looks like a pretty good piece of kit too. Maybe write up your thoughts on sound improvement just in case anyone else is looking at getting one of those. Quote
Kaveney Posted September 16, 2014 Author Posted September 16, 2014 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 . Alan Quote
WhackyWill Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Great work, love the Typhoon Instillation. :thumbs: Quote

GMballistic Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I got it un used and un opened on ebay for £ 175 and not the £ 340 RRP so im even more happy Alan Bargain really considering the RRP and the smiles it sounds like it's given you. Quote

The Trouser Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 H-DEV plenum spacer What does a plenum spacer do? Quote
GMballistic Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 H-DEV plenum spacer What does a plenum spacer do? Basically it increases the height of the plenum giving the plenum a larger volume capacity ~ therefore helping to increase power & torque over the standard plenum which is slightly restrictive due to it's design. Lot's available including nice coloured one's from Wasso on here (in member traders section) or as I have a Horsham Developments spacer.

Kaveney Posted October 20, 2014 Author Posted October 20, 2014 Posted Today, 10:29 Really like that k&n filter does it come with the carbon enclosed cover? Or is it separate would love to get one. Come with the cover . I love it great noise and no heat soak . In blue they are £ 370 ish but got my one on E bay for £ 160 Quote
