That's okay, I can wait... Lol, I just love them with the red stitching
Well I only say it when I mean it :p
I was thinking about putting a build thread up but it would be very slow progress as I have a s**t job at the moment and can't offord to buy stuff,
I might do one anyway

and just update it whenever I get stuff, just thought it would bore people...

Had a little tinker time with the old olop today. Fitted the new 9n3 handbrake sleeve which looks good. Cheers for that one Nigel
Also been experimenting with the cold air feed for the CDA. Cut a smallish hole behind the grill and put the pipe there. The first thing i have noticed is that its a lot quieter as it doesn't resonate in the arch

(Is a lot tidier than this, was half way through making hole)
Not sure if i like it here as the noise is not as nice and i am worried about stuff being sucked in. Emptied out the can today and a load of leaves and other S**T fell out

Hoping to make a proper cold air feed some time with some silicone bends and some ally piping

Beware of that position for the cold feed....when its raining, water will pass through the grille and into the intake pipe therefore into the filter!

Yeah i did think that might happen. Got it back down where it used to be now. Although i thought about getting one of those K&N water repellent socks they do for the typhoon kit and putting it over the end of the feed. Think ill just leave it where it was

Just buy the k&n typhoon mate it's an amazing kit and ticks all the boxes....
Getting one bodged up just won't work or be neat.....

Yeah have been thinking about it mate. Need to buy some other stuff first but may try one some time. Is the noise still good?

Tyhphoon is a lovely looking system, I have got both a CDA and Tyhpoon so can vouch for the quality on both systems.
I have only fitted the Typhoon on a half feed so its relatively quiet but i'm sure on the long feed it will sound alot nicer & deeper.
The BMC is a great kit but its really cheaply made when compared to the K&N Typhoon

I love my handbrake cover. Its possibly my favorite modification. 100 times better than the original in my opinion. Matches up perfectly with cloth interior.
