Very nice influx!.

Why would you remove the Fog lights you can still have the CAI installed with the foglights. If is a TRD unit you just ditch the filter that came with the CAI and get a K&N unit which is smaller that works a lot better, And comes no where near the lights.

[influx]

removed them cause i do not use them the k&n filter is not proven better. the apexi one is though but it is roughly the same size. less electrical running and better the ground mean more power for the enigne, if only slight.

[influx]

:) been keen to remove them for a while, just needed a good excuse.

[peekay]

I have had them tested by doing a test on vacum test machine by EFI Hardware and sorry they did prove better.

[influx]

ok

[peekay]

The reason why had it tested was to see if it was worth modifying the throttle body.

Unfortunitly or fortunitly with the testing it looks like the Japs got it right. So no mods are required. Also you do notice it. I would not waste my time with so called metal strainers as they don't stop dust getting in to your motor.

[influx]

oh ok cool do they make a better throttle body do you know?? i am also thinking of getting a circle earth kit. just haven't decided on HKS or Apexi.

with the fog lights gone now i will also drill the black plugs that go in the holes for better air flow and get them painted white.

about 2kg lighter also - approx. and also just a little different.

[peekay]

No there is no throttle body changes that can be made that will improve performance unless you get quad throttle bodys but how that would be intergrated with the exisiting computer well...no idea.

[grimlock]

leave it black for the panda affect.

colour coding is submitting yourself to conformity

[influx]

may just do that. keen for a run soon too grim. want to see whether i just wasted 500 on my car or not, want to run against the honda too but kara's brother borrowed it.

[grimlock]

yeah for sure.

cause i'll be getting larger exhaust soon.2.5 that should let my car breath better.

I am kinda annoy with the restriction now. But i am getting a quiet sports muffler, larger cat and pipes, should get it beginning mid september.

but i am keen as ever to race you, been practising my shifts.

CAI sounds awesome in the sportivo, i heard it on screaminrollas car.

just noticed my car does sound like a vacuum cleaner. hahahaha.

Are you free monday 16th? i am at uni in richmond close enough, we'll go for a great western highway again.
