yeah sure man

Good work :)

Besides the blondy will hopefully be there :)

Yes they are.....you can say that "technology is the only substitute for cubic inches" :)

So you guys want to try a different dyno tuning place?

It sounds like your engine is too cold and youre in low cam all the way which cuts out at 7200rpm. If the coolant temp is not hot enough the high cam wont be activated, as its a hydraulic system that activates the cam by coolant temperature.

I got the adaptor from a spare airbox that i had lying around. I dont know if it's better than a CAI, debatable question, it's definetly not as loud, the exposed pod on a CAI makes alot of noise. The drivability is much improved on the car, but most of all the throttle response when youre cruising in 6th at 100kph is much more noticeable than before.

Booger :D

I refuse to believe in Karma coz ive done too many bad things, and I dont want them to come back, so I dont believe in it :)

Here are the pics of the unit in the 05 Corolla. And this one is staying in there. Great throttle response over anything else that i had in there so far.

Do you guys want me to organise this again?

Just another typical salesperson who has no idea wtf they are talking about causing confusion into the customers head.

To be honest Danz, on the dyno it might not make any difference, and yesterday being so hot it did not feel like it was a huge improvement over stock, but on a cold day, it will make a big difference. The whole concept on this unit is to suck cold air and you have the added value of ramming it from outside. A CAI will suck air that is behind the headlight, so its not rammed onto the pod. This Apollo, I attached a hose so the air comes from directly in front of the car, so all the vaccum is happening fom the front of the car, and when the car is moving, the air is forced inside this tube. On a cold day it will suck up nothing but ice cold air.....and at velocity the air becomes cooler i think (I was bad a physics) so its all beneficial. Being an enclosed unit, its very quite and 100% legal. Its just another option to the CAI. Easy to install and looks very good underneath the engine bay. It's very light and typical K&N the filter unit can be cleaned. As far as being restrictive over a CAI, i dont think it is, the area of the filter is similar, it just doesent make the noise and noise is very deceptive.

Its not a bad unit, its nice and quiet, the flow is hard to say, seems to flow a bit better than the stock box. With CAI its hard to say as the noise is deceiving. Dyno day will prove its worth when i test the car with the stock box and then the Apollo Unit.

Dont forget the K&N shortram (all noise) :) It will be good to measure the difference on dynoday.

I'll let you guys know how it performs :) the BMC one is worth a friggen fortune. I had a look at it, nice carbon fiber looking unit with a small metal mesh inside, but was quoted $600 by Hoppers crossing autobarn. I got the K&N from the city for $210, a $70 drop from original price....easy to install, already have the adapter for the AFM so will let you guys know how it works. i already have a hose running from underneath the bumper, so this unit hooked up to the hose will make it a true cai system sucking air from the front of the car. The positives are that i can now wash the engine bay without worrying about the pod getting wet. Will post pics later.

I was just calling around today, got quoted $250 from autobarn hoppers. Anyone got one of these systems, they are fully enclosed and have a hose that runs from one end to get cold air inducted. They look pretty cool, but use a cheap plastic cover ....here is the pic http://www.knfilters.com/universal/apollo.htm

Sorry dude but work commitments makes it hard. Its a fair hike so you better get a good nite sleep before hand. Go the Tototas, make us proud BanGn

LOL you idiot motoman.

Their meeting point is the BP servo as you head towards Geelong, its on the left you cant miss it.

Yeah, what happened to pecker? and arxis?

Why dont we do it on the 12th and meet up with toymods.

This cruise sounds good, i think we should ditch the one on the 5th and all go to this one.

RME1 I wouldnt be surprised if the kings and lovells are the same. I have whitelines, and I was told they are made by kings. The spring brands are not a major factor, its the spring rate that you need to discuss with your suspension specialist and what you intend to use the car for etc. Give Damien a call at suspension city in North Melbourne for advice. he has done quite a few corollas including mine, E-Genes and 2fst4u 's rolla.

Ahh that makes sense, you and the crazy gismos you come up with :)
