Best advice is put the OE box back on.. plus with an IK farting about you cant hear properly what the engine is up too

At Hillpower we are developing a new induction kit which eliminates the hot air problem completely. We have run one on a Williams which shows improvements above our current 16v induction kit. I am looking for a nice tidy 16v to fit the kit to, standard would be preferable but with mild tuning would be ok. If you are interested call me at the workshop (01530 273633) and have a chat I can also e-mail you some pics if you e-mail me through my web site. www.hillpower.co.uk

im just using the standard box with a ram air filter inside , it seems a lot better in this hot weather.

Definately the answer in my opinion!

I have the new Hill Power one on my Willy and as Nick said it definately makes a difference, especially in the hot weather. B4 i used to really notice a decrease in performance but now the performance doesnt drop off at all. Definiately worth a look!!!!

The strut brace was made by Ram Air, and yes it works very well. Its alloy and is adjustable so its very very light. Well worth it.

michealelder Strut brace on Dazzs Williams is a Ramair 3 piece alluminium one . We have fitted quite a few strut braces and have found the adjustable type the best as a good solid mount can be made between brace and susspension tops the brace can be adjusted so that the side ways bracing can be made solid. If you do fit a strut brace you will notice the steering to feel tighter and more positive It is also a good idea to fit one if you have modified your suspension. It will help cut down body flex which we have seen manifest its self as rippling of the roof at the rear corners of the sun roof.When fitting a strut brace dont be tempted to use the self tapping body type bolts that some manufacturers send you always nut and bolt them down through the turret tops. The whole idea of the strut brace is to stiffen up the chassis so the suspension works and not the body flexing with the sorts of loadind that goes through these points on the top of the suspension body bolts will become not tight. RETAIL price on the Ramair brace is £100.00 plus vat sport club discount does apply.
