Re: Project All Smoke, No Poke :)
Fitted a standard airbox tonight.
Got it in the scrappy on tueday. The airbox that came with the car had a massive crack in the side where somebody drilled out a screw?? So I replaced it with an induction kit but driving along and all you can here is "*whistle* SHHHHHHHHHHH PTSHHHH" gets a tad tiring.
So new airbox...
Changing the air filter while it's out of the car with proffesional tools :rolleyes:...
Old setup...
Old Setup Out...
And back to stock ...
MUCHHHHH BETTER
Just realised in the above picture I havent clipped the throttle cable back onto the airbox... Opps...

Re: Project All Smoke, No Poke :)
Somehow my Mum managed to kill my car last week, a new boost componsator hose and retiming my fuel pump and the car was sound again (No idea how my Mum managed to break it like that but such is life)
It's booked in for it's MOT on Monday so I thought i'd treat it abit. Something thats been bothering me for a few weeks is the state of the old numberplate bulb holders...
The right one is loose and kept going out, it took 3 bulb changes before I realised it was the bulb holder...
So these turned up
In...
Working
I have 3 keys with the car, two with the remote and one blank. The two with the remotes were abit worn...
So ordered some new buttons
Dismantled the keys
And Done...
Buttons were £2.52 each which beats paying £90 for a new key by far

Re: Project All Smoke, No Poke :)
I see you encountered the estate rear number light problem.
Its easier and quicker just to buy new units...£2 quid ish including bulbs at the dealers and fit them.
Trying to get those lenses off without damaging yourself or the cars aint worth it!

£4.89 for the numberplate bulb holders including bulbs. I might just buy a few spares as I'm going to get a load of spare bulbs and stuff anyway.
