I didn't say it was complete proof but nether the less it was an interesting comparision.
Not a question of being able to afford one or not, more a case of common sense as I do actually know a thing or two about theses cars. ;)
A car with the same mods as mine plus a Maxogen made slighlty less power on Surrey Rolling Road rollers than my car with a modified std airbox.
But more importantly can anyone actually prove that the £400 Maxogen gives any real power increase over any other type of intake?
Yeah its a piece of cake really, just make sure you get the correct resistors as I asked for 4.7ohms and was given 470,000 ohms at first!
This pic show the original wheel still on with the airbag removed. Just plug the two resistors into each connector.
I've not lost ABS with my aftermarket steering wheel, also managed in the end to get the airbag lights to stay off using some 16p resistors from Maplins. All I've lost is cruise control which for me is not a problem as I never used it.
I've only really got this pic of Middo's painted dash inserts that show the rear cage a bit as I'm not yet finished - harnesses are being fitted on Tuesday and then I plan to take some more pics.
Agreed.
To be honest a back box will only give you 1-2 bhp if you are lucky. Best to buy a a system which helps reduce weight and is not too loud ie Trackday friendly - also you don't want a system which causes cabin drone on motorway journeys.
IMHO the best systems out there all use a...
Sometimes race wheels don't always come with a horn push, I had to request a horn push with my new wheel. Cost was about £7 inc wiring etc. As Chris says above not worth doing unless you plan to fit harnesses.
Did a google search on resistors and found a usefull site that explained everything I needed to know and confirmed that the resistors purchased from Maplins Croydon were not 4.7ohms but 470,000 ohms!
Popped back today and got the correct ones which were a lot smaller in size!
And the good...
