Lol Chris. Best free steak too? Don't forget the inbreeding too Jamie.

What about the Brewers Farce at Strathclyde Park? Not that I can get there in 5 minutes or anything like that of course.

I touch goats re the sub + stuff.

If you're lucky they are Jamie. I'll be needing 5 numbers and the bonus ball tonight if I want them. A boy can dream of the finest in japanese rims though. Thanks for that Al. Seals it I think.

The kind George Michael visits?

I really need some Ray's engineering Volk Racing LE37T Rims.

There's something deeply, deeply disturbing about that first picture.

Good advice guys. I knew the advantages of a cold air intake over a regular one. I may be a relative technical noob but I am learning as I go along thanks to some great advice and knowledge gained on these very pages. Money, of this scale, is no object. The different between a good CAI (such as the APS which had been my choice), a panel filter or decent regular induction kit was negligible in the grand scheme of my project. Most or some of you are aware that my plans are to decat then remap. I was under the impression that sorting out the induction side of things would be required to maximise the benefits of this. I'm not after quick and nasty fixes. I've worked too damn hard to get into a position to own it so I'm not going to treat it like a Nova owner's halfords wet dream. It's my intention to 1) put aside the cash for this venture , once that's complete 2) get a slice of Andy F's time booked and 3) have the car modified near this date to include the decat, and any recommended modifications on the intake side. Then 4) Get it mapped of course. I have no intentions now or 99% likely in the future to go to equal length headers, swap for a bigger turbo, forged pistons etc. It's beyond my requirements for the car as a daily driver and occasion visitor to the kitty litter in knockhill when my ego gets the better of my driving abilities. So basically it comes down to - will the existing intake sytem with a green or STI panel filter hold back the car based on these plans? Place bets now.

I keep mine for Soul Calibur but mostly for Cybertroopers Virtual On Oratorio Tangram. Oh and the odd game of bass or marine fishing.

Del, it'll fix a blobeye too. The boot holes are identical.

Still got your Dreamcast ed? Best console ever.

Craig, I fell down the worlds biggest pot hole just there without any trouble. Except maybe busted alignment. Splitter + Teins = a happy man.

It looks a bit podgy there. The coupe looks much nicer.

Well the money saved on the CAI can be used for a bit of engine bay tartage with the zero sport pipe. See, not only do you guys cost me money on buying mods in the first place, but you save me money on buying the right mods.

I've seen these kits on ebay, it might just be a standard picture and not the impreza specific dials.

I'd be struggling to get near 350 with just a decat and a remap on an otherwise standard 05WRX Jamie, so you think the Panel will suffice? Should I even do any basic upgrades like the samco hoses or the admittedly pretty looking Zero Sports upgraded pipe work? Even if these upgrades are over the top if they would provide any advantage such as keeping temps down or provide any sort of safety buffer then I will probably do them. I'd like to get near 300bhp but keep it usable and maintainable.

2 men and a lift would make it 100000000 times easier to fit. My back and arms were killing me after it. Trying to hold a spanner on a nut I couldn't see in an akward place whilst lying flat out and trying to use the other hand to actually tighten it up with the socket and ratchet thing.

Yes. Very nice. Very nice indeed. How long did it take you to fit then Andy? And were you cursing the fact you couldn't see half the bolts you were trying to work with?

I asked this over on the darkside but didn't get satisfactory answers. So - a CAI on my car. I want to keep my fog lights so can't install a gumball patented drilled fog lamp cover or any sort of duct into one of them. Will this knacker the air flow?

Well done Spooks.

Boredom + eejits = 12 pages of randomness.

I thought I'd be the cookie monster to be hounest. OR the Honey Monster, but he's not a muppet I suppose.

I think it might be you Gareth.

Back away from the keyboard Dougster.

GONZO! I was going to say I thought I was Gonzo without doing the test, but I did it anyway. Anyway, if we keep the "shat" to just a couple of threads then we maintain a forum that is both relevant, irelevant, funny, serious, helpful and down right entertaining. And I for one would keep it that way.
