Ha ha... Looks that way mate.. But think i'll stick with a panel filter for now.. As the only decent intakes out there involve losing your engine cover and I don't want that..
You got the pump on now mate?

Went to fit it on Sunday night and had all the tools except a plug key :sad:. To swap the pump, you need to get the engine to TDC and to do that you need to have the plugs out so compression is not there to stop movement.

Nonetheless, it will be done in the very near future :wink:. Really can't wait now......
Good news mate.. Make sure you give us a shout when it;s done and let us know what it's like.. When you getting it on the rollers again?

It was supposed to be on the r/r tonight, but thats not happening now. As soon as its done, I will let you know though :smiley:

In all fairness to the car, the lamder probe thing is the only thing that has gone (possibly) wrong with the car in 10k. Not had a single mishap with reliability with it whatsoever. hasn't been to the dealer once yet..  :smiley:
Just doesn't like kerbs and flying bits of MDF...  :grin:

The lamda fault can get thrown when you fit a high flow cat, seem to remember somethin about resetting the values, maybe yours was just on the limit to not throw a code and now with a bit of wear it has?, just a thought, could be way off :smiley:

Sorry to hear about that vtec! But like that others said it could have been alot worse considering it did hit your windscreen. Might want to get that checked out too, from what I remember about my physics lessons a polarised filter should show up any stress points on the screen.

But that was for the old skool toughened windscreens, and not modern laminated ones.  Thankfully it was a laminated, because Vtec Abuser would probably be still pulling splinters from his teeth with the old style screens.

Like Hurdy said the undercover agents are trying to take us out. People tend to reverse at high speeds towards me all the time since ive had mine.  :angry:

Seen a telegraph pole in the middle of the M62 before, good job I was in the fast lane and sailed past it.
sorry but my vaux looks far better than the mk5 gti, thats why i bought it  :wink: faster too  :grin:  :tongue:
