Firstly for all you haters out there, Its my car - I have a plan and Im sticking to it......
To anyone else who's interested ive just about finished another phase of my Air filter move. Battery is already in the boot, and tonight I got a chance to cut some pipes and begin putting the air intake together.
Its installed atm so its functional, as per the pic I came in from the drive when it was dark. Still some little tweaks to go. Heatshield and cold air direct feed but ive started.
I disconnected the battery, left it for a while and went for a boot, seems to be running smoother, definetly a deep induction tone. Keep you posted.
