Changed my air filter this morning for a 3" inlet pipercross foam unit. To go with my bespoke intake piping.
Got the old one off and FFS how blocked is this.. a small nest in the intake funnel..
New filter straight on, with a few minor ajustments to the supply pipes and away for a test run.
Bloody hell... this is quick...
This is the first time Ive driver the car in full spec, with the new filter fitted.. Its far quicker than its ever been.. would give those pesky 160's a damn good spanking now...

Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....

Had a bit of a temperature spike on the way to work this morning......
up to 120...

hope its just low level in the coolant... but that means there is a leak somewhere... again..... FFS.
