Looks like it will turn out really good, especially once the colour coding has been done. Where did you get the alloys to? Where they second hand?

yer... get the Koni STR.T kit on it Daz.... mine dropped about 30-35mm, which is ideal...

I really don't see the point where ppl have a motor so slammed multi storey car parks and roads with bumps or sleeping policemen are outta bounds. May as well just use the bus..... :lol:

can you post more details and pics of the air filter.
How were you able to keep the engine cover with the new filter
Where'd you get it from and what was the price?

i used:
76mm to 63mm 90 degree elbow reducer, 76mm(d) aluminium induction pipe and a air filter with a 76mm opening

i purchested them all from ebay but any air filter would work aslong as it was 73mm

1. remove the engine cover by pulling it out the rubber gromits. (just giv it a yank at each corner)

2. undo the screws on the back of the engine cover to reveal the air filter, then remove the filter and casing.

3. attach the elbow reducer to the throttle body( the small end of the elbow reducer)

4. attach the other end to the induction pipe then attach the air filter to the end of the pipe.

5. reattach the engine cover and then I tiewrapped the induction pipe to the cover to stop it vibrating.

cost me about 50 pound all togeather

thats where i bought mine from, ill get some pics on tomorrow when its light;)

any questions just ask mate hope this helps
