Prank, thanks dude. Yeah the funky bonnet vent is there. It's actually getting a respray while the car is in the shop. If you remember, it had a black finish. Will be same colour as car now in a semi-matt finish as it's fibreglass. If they don't use matt, the ripples will show too much.

Do you go to BD4's as well? They are the best tune-shop in my books. Well, I might be a bit biased but they are good. :)

megs, ha ha ha!! i know what thats like!!

ONARUN,

no mate, i *did* but paul and I (or BD4's and i) dont really get along any more....

i wont get into it mate, i dont want anything being said about any business' on the boards.

Prank,

The stuff I used was AlcoBond. It's two sheets of 1mm aluminium seperated by 3mm of plastic. It has really good reflective and heat insulation properties. Then on the inside I coated it with the clark rubber insulating foam stuff.

Works well, and looks good too. lol

Hey Jay95, nice airbox man

My future plans revolve around tempratures, with the exhaust done I'm currently lookingsaving for the frount mount IC. Secondly with the Jay's pics as inspiration I start building my cold air box tomorrow.

Soooo, can anyone tell me what's the difference's between my current K&N pod filter (the big one, about 25cm) and Jay's smaller filter. Is it just a different sucking sound?

just spray it with de-greaser and clean it... buy two so when ones drying you can use the other.

i bought a new one and it was as dirty as my old one within a week... i am not gonna buy a new pad every week.

Not yet !!!!

But it's not too far away. In the next few weeks I should have something for you guys.

Looks like I'll have to buy a reem of paper and a box of 50 stamps cause that's about how many people are after it LOL.

But yeah, I've just got to get the time to do it.

I'm getting a 3 inch mandrel font pipe put on on this Saturday morning. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
