darn how did you know my cunning plan??? and as for flood water, no chance of me going near any of that!

now i need to get the front bumper off to see if my mental idea can become a reality!

you sure bout that coz i got a 190 TS facelift on a 03 plate

good sense of humour there (wind direction)

i was for a bit too, but then thought he may have found the up/down button on the fan speed dial

cheers BK, was seriously thinking Blitz over the others tbh, think it's the whole Jap thing tbh lol. Minx, great link there , that also has answered a question on the exhaust for me, ok it's a question that I would have asked a few months down the line, but now I don't have to

Well I'm sure we have all thought about it when we have delved into the world of replacing our air intake filters, have we not? Now for me, I'm not going down the line of induction kits as I cant really be arsed (per-say) but am just going to replace the original filter with either a K&N, Blitz Cotton panel filter or a Pipercross Foam filter. but the big question in my head is........ What's the bloody difference apart from the material used. eg: is there any beneficial things between the two materials, more airflow,more sound, filters more???? ok I know it's a question that can truly be expanded to great depths and I'm sorry if that happens , but hey ho, all's good for great topic discussion once I've decided what one to go for, I'm going to add a serious twist to the intake system, one that I have not seen done before on a Gen7. and yes there will be a thread and pictures for that to now, shall we discuss...........

well not everyone can afford a supercharger conversion

for me it's always going to be handling over power first after a darn good service! my reason for this is after a darn good service you have a decent level to start the power work from but considering the quality of the roads in the UK power is pretty much rendered useless if your going to be bouncing all over the roads and dodging potholes. my gen 7 handles very well when it's me +1 but as soon as i have anyone in the back it lacks the power needed to fly. for me i'm not going the coilover route, it's going to be new OE shocks and Eibach springs with new poly bushes full struts etc, so it stiffens the beauty right up, wheel spacers and some top end shoes. then the brakes will be upgraded so i can stop better. then and only then will the power gains come in. and even then i'm only going for a full manifold exhaust system, induction kit, spark plugs, cam kit, lightened fly wheel, and aftermarket ecu. that's all i'm going for.
