just put the standard air box back on with holes drilled in it and the tights lol. i cant really tell any differance tbh accept maybe a little more resposive. then i notice i had oil dripping out of the sump! need a new washer/gasket for the draining bolt asap :(

just spent 5 and a half hours reading the entire thread! cant believe the amount of dedication and hard work you have put into this, And cant wait to see what you do next! Amazing work :)

na it wouldnt draw in hot air as the feed to the airbox is right behind the front bumper so catches all the cool air :). ive also heard about taking the panel filter out and replacing it with a layer of womens tights? :L surely that would give it more power too?

i will make a video somewhen to show you! even the 1.25 zetec-s's can get it under 10 seconds lol you sure your car wasnt broken? :S lol

what! i can get 78 in third lol the fastest ive had is 95 still in fourth. to be fair from 80 onwards it does take its time building up lol. i did a timed 0-60 when i had the standard 13" wheels on and it was 10.8, probably into 11 seconds now tho with the 15's on there.

hmmm probably wont get another car until im 20/21 as im only 17 and i cant get insurance on a valver till then anyway :P and i enjoy doing stuff to the car anyway :)

yeh i had been told that but i have a cold air feed to it so that should improve it slightly right? somewhen i will take the fog light cover out of the bumper and bring the ducting up from there. i tried having it facing round the other way but it kinks the pipe :/. i might try the standard one...
