never expect miracles with these cars lol, wouldnt be doing it if i was paying for fitting (i beleive k-tec charge around £250 odd quid? and around £600 for the manifold and link pipe!)
i got my manifold much much cheaper than that ;)
anyone got the part number and price for the battery tray that the engine mount bolts into? mate just text me to tell me hes sheared the bit the mount bolts into :S
aye k-tec decat pipe, new manifold to cat fitting too.
doesnt matter looks like its lying under the car on axel stands in the pissing rain, its all good
aye be quite happy with 3 or 4 bhp man, that + my k-tec exhaust and RS tuner map should give me a touch over 180bhp or there about (kepping...
changing my manifolds over this week, now ive read the guide about droping the subframe etc which isnt a problem but after having a look it looks as if it would be possible to do it from the engine by after the inlet manifold was removed? or am i hoping for a bit to much!? lol

there is a duct behind teh grill that directs cold air right to this cold air feed, its very efficient where it is.
on mine i had standard airbox, modified it a bit to let it draw more air, larger feed going to the same place and K&N panel filter, went well!
not done it yet but looks like a case of just unbolting the subframe and droping it, disconecting the steering rack to get it a bit lower then unbolt it and squeeze it out!
sounds easyer than it really is probably! haha
i can feel it when coming off throttle, the engines moving, gearsticks moving too, cars not driving smoothly when slow in traffic in first gear.
when the cars cold its really lumpy to drive, i know the cars are pretty crap when cold but this is worse than it used to be! it feels like when my...
not a fan of the ek9, dont know if my mates is a duff one but its not as quick as my 172, although i suppose it does weigh a wee bit more with around the same power (they 180 odd bhp?)
