^^^^^^ Well put Tom, i was getting there!!!! lol

Yeah the standard airbox the CAF that comes out of the side of the airbox is the one you want to take off. Seach "accoust valve removal" and it should bring up a link from cliotrophy.net

Had a remap done @ JMS a couple of weeks agao, totally transformed the car!!! You'll love it!!!

ESP Design, (rude racing i think its now called but search in google ESP design) they sell loads of CAF ducting!!

Yeah there is a guide in the guide section on how to do it, takes 15mins or so. You'l get a bit of induction roar from taking the CAF out aswell. :) Let us know what you think.

Cos once you remove the accoustic valve and that CAF pipe you have the coolest part of the engine flowing air straight into the air box from down in the wheel arch. Its just what they reckon gives the best gain other than a maxogen from what they have tested??? Mine def pulls harder but then...

At £300 the maxogens are quite expensive but the next best thing I found is the standard air box with uprated panel filter, removed the accoustic valve and the top CAF, JMS Tuning have been doing development on this issue and this seems to get the better gains over the induction kits (apart from...

Yeah im going to have a search over his stuff later!!!

Im going to have to read over the VXR thread again, I cant believe how much of his life that car must take over!!! lol

Na there is a giude on here to remove the accoustic valve takes 15mins then just pull the cold air feed out!!

The cold air feed that comes out of the side of the 172/182 airbox conects to the accoustic valve down in the wheel arch, take that all out and its much less restrictive!!

True, mine def feels better the way the JMS boys suggested, you even get a little induction roar when you hit cam at 5k. Couple it with the Group N remap and matched inlets and it really goes.

Quite difficult to fit though apparently because of the battery, you can just about sqeeze one in!!! I mean the V6 air box that is!!!

Standard box, uprated panel filter and lose the accoustic valve and top CAF, speaking to the JMS boys the other day when I was down there and thats the best gain they have had over aftermarket IKs!!!

Haha, its unreal how he spots the slightest little inperfection!!! He must be scared to drive it outside incase a seagul s***s on it!!! lol

It is amazing the lengths some people go to and I guess if its your job then you have to but wow I thought I was OCD on detailing my car. Now i feel normal :) lol

Yeah thats the guy, dont get me wrong the car is awsome but surely he cant do much else than dote on his motor!!!! The engine bay is a master piece, must have cost him a fortune!!!

Just had a look on here and more specifically on the project section, I cant believe the lengths some people go to with detailing, I wish I had that much dedication!!! lol One guy was ready to take back his brand new Astra VXR just because it had a few overspill spots when he picked it, its a...

Thats not too bad, I had a lovely neighbour scrape past my rear bumber while trying to park behind me last weekend!!!! Bloody OAPs!!!!!

How much would I be looking to get an Iceberg 172 rear bumper resprayed roughly???

Sidcup!!! Same as the location on my profile.

Saw this parked up a road down from me in Arlington Close??

"Damn that 182 looks amazing lol ;) I'll have to put picutres of our up still." The 172 is just in a different league!!! hahahaha

Injectors or spark plugs, im running out of ideas!!! lol :)

haha its ok I do it sometimes, just skim through a thread and not read it properly and put something up which I already know the answer for!!! lol

Haha, no your not I couldnt get anymore on as i was at my limit but i said il put some more up later once i delete some old photos. lol :)

Silly question but have you checked your battery to make sure its not on its way out??? Alternator??

Sunday night in Tonbridge mate. Yeah mine was much easier to fit once it was on axle stands etc, looks the nuts!!!

Dont fancy painting the brace to be honest cos once the paint gets hot under the bonnet all the fluff from bonet lid sticks to it!!! I am thinking about doing the cover a different colour though maybe. The pug splitter was £35 direct from a dealer, just walked in and bought one last week...

The pug ones fit quite well, its all about taking your time and doing it bit by bit so it follows the shape of the bumper properly!! And about 10 self tapping screws!!!
