I didn't get one at the same time as I got my motordyn plenum spacer installed.

 

The best thing you can do is get it uprevved to bring all your mods together.

 

The addition of plenum spacer HKS panel filter then uprev made a big difference.

Nice GT4 :thumbs:

 

I really need to get the wheels done on mine but can't decide on a colour.

 

Great progress so far, and the plans sound good. Personally I would go with a V2 but it will look good whatever you decide

There's nothing like a jealous arsxxole to ruin things

That sucks about the aerial Karl, ...some jealous, sad act scum bags about. :thumbdown:

Good work so far Karl. Really like the look!

 

What you think of the plenum spacer? Much difference in terms of sound and performance??

 

Nick

 

thought the car felt a little more responsive but to be honest i think that is more in my head than anything, hopefully the map should make a difference though

 

Thanks

shame i didn't have a decent camera to take the pictures and had to use my phone

 

I will most likely be ordering a stillen CAI payday but im really finding it hard to justify spending £200 plus on a filter and abit of plastic

 

 

thanks

Spent all day yesterday on the Car fitting the new goodies

 

everything went suprisingly well, to well almost lol. the only issue i have now is the tracking is all to @*!# i thought it would of been okay only going 30mm lower but i guess not, hopefully i dont need to buy aftermarket arms and it can be sorted in the week

 

any way here are some pics of the exhaust. im a little gutted its not Loud but then i didnt want to ruin the car with a knoblet exhaust so im still happy with it
