Meaning cleaner throttle body etc when i had a cone filter i noticed one day lots of oil coming out of it and dripping into the engine bay now i run a enclosed induction with cold air feed and catch can which i think has improved things a lot aha. do you find you collect a fair amount in there then? quite like the idea of having your cone down below! I was gonna smooth my airbox but may do that cos I love the cone sound. did you have to do much mods to fit down there?finally got round to checking my ecu number yesterday for the chip, it's in the post now. looking forward to seeing what gains I can get from it! apparently a decat helps. ive sent him a message so ill see what he says re gains/hardware

Good luck love dragon green mk3's.
Put a bit more pressure in the back tyres for a touch more oversteer or lower the front/heighten the rear will help to Car is looking great man .
Haha but don't come crying if you bin it 30 in the front is a bit low imo .
