Looks wonderful Chris.
May I ask,did you import performance parts as im having problems getting the parts I want.
I have purchased a bigger throttle body so far but I'm wondering whats the favourite air system for it.

That looks really smart. Which grill are you using with that cone filter setup? Does it sound much louder than standard?

Hi Joe...not touched throttle body just changed the MB air box and removed filters inside all the components involved available on eBay, needs wings do a very good intake but for the gains on an n/a too much wonga for me....

Ardenian...factory grille still fits fine, little louder intake noise but not much, feels a bit peppier according to my seat of the pants dyno but may be wishful thinking...😀

Cheers Steve see you at brands and yes Mo it was about time looking forward to Saturday

Cheers Bruce sure yours looks just great..

That looks really smart mate. I have just acquired mine, but starting to strip it down to clean up some rust on the wheel arches.

No problem at all think maybe if it was a mesh grille the filters might be more prone to the weather....

K&N makes covers for their filters. Maybe one of them would fit your choice for the "rainy season"?

If he's using a mesh grille he should first align the filters as they are out of alignment to each other.

No mesh. BUT, 180, really? That's pushing the term "**** Retentive" to new...heights? Lows?
