I know exactly what you mean mate, im the same. Think a lot of the time its all in my head and i listen for things too much.
It wasnt mate, apparently its a seperate item so set me back £250 for part and fitting.
Are you gonna fit the airbox like normal or relocate the battery ? Havent sorted...
Topped up the cars water levels today after having the work done and took it out for a decent run. It still sounds quite and is running smoothly so im happy :)
Needs a decent wash and wax for winter and to look into fitting the new airbox :approve:
Difficult to describe to be honest mate.
Started off just a constant ticking noise from the engine bay. Could be heard faintly from inside but was more noticable when standing beside the car. Over the last week it got a lot louder, so much it could be heard over the exhaust inside the car...
Got more car back from Mendal yesturday, Seems so much quieter and a lot more stable than before hand.
Hopefully this will be the last setback for a while :S

Ahh rite, How did you run the Cold air feeds on yours mate ? Are they both attached together or same idea as from the 182 box ?
May get the car back tonight if im lucky, apparently just waiting for the water pump to be fitted. Cant be too much left on the car that hasnt been replaced in the...
Yeah mate was looking at them on Kam racing.
Sounds good, look forward to seeing how they work out for you. Still fancy some myself tbh.
Cars off the road now, turns out its the water pump so its sat waiting for a new one to be fitted on monday :(
Cheers mate :) Hows yours coming along ??
:( Been listening to try and find the source of the noise coming from the engine bay and appears its coming from in and around the belts, Were changed less than a year ago so looks like i'll be heading back down the garage :dapprove: Almost made it a...
Cheers Ali, will have a look at the site.
Btw do you have your airbox running off an induction bend or did you relocate the battery and fit like the cup racer ??

Cheers Sam,
Yeah been good thanks, not much new. How about yourself ?
Yeah definatley mate im up for that, been a long time since the last. How did the ones turn out when you mapped the car ?
I will let you know once its out mate, say £5 :approve:
Exhaust now fixed, one bolt had snapped in half and the other was rusted so glad i got them sorted :S
Cars still making a strange rattle/ticking noise so looks like thats next on the list to look at.
Cheers mate :approve: still needs a bit of work on some dents and scuffs but its looking much better.
Tbh i dont know what difference it makes either really, can only assume its a better shape for air flow :S Got mine from ebay, but did take a while to find one as they never seem to be...
I actually havent yet mate, still need to buy a filter for it and get it fitted.
Noticed one or two threads recently of people using them like the v6 box in the cup racer setup so not sure wether to go down that route and look to relocate the battery or wether to fit it as i had originally...
One of my spring loaded bolts joining the Cat to the manifold has come out and my exhaust is now blowing badly. Ive got a new fitting kit and was hoping someone could tell me if there easy to fit ? Bit unsure if there is anything more to them than just using like a normal bolt/nut ?? :S
Any...
I use An Illusion Bodyshop in Thornaby mate, always happy with results so would deffinatley recommend them. Did most of the work on mine :approve:
