Ok having trouble with all the materials...

went to clarks rubber and burnnings to get some inspiration for the CAI...

I have found 3meter silver coil vent induction pipe but they cost too much and let alone dont need 3 metere/$21.60.

Found nice silver sheet of aluminium $18.23 or some thing like that, quite suitable...

found foam with silver lining but it also pretty fragile, not sure how it will hold with all the heats from the engine...

my best option is to go with aluminium sheet for the box and for piping...

saw few PVC pipes but hey are booldy heavy and there is not many choice to shoose from, they are rock hard and not sure how malleble they are with heat gun... but I shall try!

anyway thanks for reading... you polly think I am stingie one but yeah I am student with no $$$ :lol:

BTW can anyone show me how to take off the Front stock spoiler for series one?!?

cheers

Joe, the air duct stuff from bunnings is bloody expensive, try an airconditioning supply place (sorry forgot the name of where I went, but it only cost me $11 instead of $21). That foam stuff from clarks seems ok in my car, haven't had probs yet and you have to buy it by the lineal metre, so enough for 2 partitions.

Maybe someone will go halves on both and save you even more dollars (sorry I already gave my leftovers away)

    • It's purpose will be to stop the regulator plug from leaking oil. As GTS said, if it seals properly, it will mainly just have the effect of slightly higher oil pressure. I'll assume tolerances/fitment in the relief valve aren't that close that the washer being missing won't let it vent at 100% capacity too.
    • I put the charger in the engine bay and run the power cord down through one of the holes in the undertray, or at the back end of the engine bay, any time I need a car to be on a charger outside. In fact, I bring the extension cord up through into the engine bay so that it's not dragging around where it could get wet, or easily unplugged.
    • Car lives in a garage, so not an issue.  If it is an issue for you, I suppose you could hook this up to the battery and run the connector down to somewhere you can easily reach when the car is parked and locked up. Then I guess all you need to worry about is having your charger stolen lol. 
    • Most proper RB26 builds here in Oz are costing multiples of that number. And yes, I know you're talking Euros. Here' the dollars being spent are largely associated with amphetamines.
    • I'll be getting this one most likely, I'll provide an update if my battery blows up lol. Also where did you get your info? This is the manual, it says it can be left on: https://www.centurybatteries.com.au/media/hclfd0ek/cc1206-xli_century_owners_manual_1223_v10_final.pdf I checked your quote and it's only for lithium batteries.
