can someone give me a brief run down of what i'll have to do?
do i for example have to remove the passengers side wheel to get into the back of the air scoop or can i do this from above?
cheers

Rear wheel off, arch liner out or loose.
Remove standard box.
Connect inlet tube to side air intake -a bit fiddly.
Connect other end to hurricane.

i'm only just ordering it tho so i doubt it'll be here in time.
i thought it came with a tube that went down to the air vent? this one doesn't seem to have it!!!

Was in the sale, but I think that was the stands that were on offer:

I took off the swively bit (Spring clip) on the top and it fits under mine with a 10mm block of plywood just about.

I fitted my ITG from the top end. But then that doesn't have the plastic scoop, acording to them all it does is clog the filter quicker and the car will breath more than enough cold air itself from that area.

halfords seem to have bumped up the price of their trolley jack and axle stands. jack is now 26 and the stands are 17.
anyway i bought both from ASDA - 15 for the trolley jack and 12 for the 4T stands both of which are Draper so not some ASDA home brand cr*p

Ninja does the jack fit under the car? I thought you needed special low entry one?

Just drive the car onto some wood beforehand - job's a carrot....

i was planning on driving it onto a paving slab and then putting the jack under it.
not the most technical of proceedures but i think if i can get it 1" or so further off the deck i should be fine.

Yep - that'd be perfect. My car's lowered to 110/120mm and I just drive onto a couple of 2x4s
Make sure and jack the right bit (as I'm sure you know)

I never had a problem jacking my std car using a halfrauds jack so you may me lucky - but best to have a contingency to hand
