Modding the airbox to include a second cold air feed into the back (where the old warm air feed used to come in) and putting a K&N panel in there. More response and more grunt for little moola.

All i did was remove the warm air feed from the back of the box and took out all the gubbins from inside the box. Left the original trumpet that goes into the wing on and put the panel filter in and it made an improvement.
I wanted more air flow still, so rather than trying to put a huge hole in the front of the airbox, as a temporary measure and bit of an experiment I put some tubing on the hole left by the warm air feed and ran it up to where the wing and bonnet meet. Definitely louder and bit more power.
Its a good mod in my opinion

Coilovers.
Falkens.
Sub & Amp.

Uprated Injector Nozzles - I went for PP520's - hell of a difference and no loss in terms of economy :)

Mine had a few on there when I bought it:
Bucket leather seats
push button start
snap off momo steering wheel
lowered suspension
front strut brace
full stainless steel exhaust with de-cat
k&n induction kit
I don't know which i prefer most, but a combination of the bucket seats, lewered suspension and strut brace makes it brill to drive as it corners spot on, and feels really low..!!
Also the induction and exhaust make it sound sweeeeet :cool:
I do have a question though, what are the preffered cam's people use for the 8v?
Cheers
