It felt like that at first but it doesn't se any different now

certainly with the set up that you have there, you'd expect to see small gains and the high end and loose any power in the low to mid range of the rev's, especially on small engine'd car's like ours. It's just sucking in hot air.

I'll have a look for a link I found a while ago on youtube, it was two guys took a skyline on a dyno run, or several run's on the same dyno testing differant filters and induction kits. They saw no gain with any of the filters or kits, sometimes seeing a decrease in BHP and overall watt's the engine was putting out.

The only time they saw a gain (2-3BHP) was when they took out the front headlight, custom made an induction kit, with the hose sticking out the front light and pretty much into the cold air fan.

so its more than likely a waste of money on our car's but it looks cool :)

hang on I have the link...

Yeah looks loads better. I wanted to paint them black but I quite like them silver.

Looks awesome that, i do like the alloys looks alot more sporty. Think they would be better black tho. Reg is good too, im hoping to get a private reg too, guna cost me 500 quid tho! ... On the other hand i washed my car today as the sun was out and the snow is gone! Looks a beauty! Btw i decided to vinyl the chrome trim on the front grill, what u think?

Hmmmm I'm liking the black surround on the grill. I thought about doing it but never got round to it.
Did you take the grill out to do it?

I think it looks alot better black tbh, and i didnt have to take the grill out mate, the squeege tool tucks the vinyl nice and tight around the edges only took me 20 mins or so to do it

I agree, i really wanted mine in green caus it looked awesome, looks so much better in person too. I could have got green but i would have had to wait a few months for it, i bought my car beginning of august too so i could have also had it on a 62 plate lol im too impatient tho so red it was! ... Kinda jealous at the fact that my girlfriends mate has one in green on a 62 plate with 17" alloys... F***er haha
