Car need a deep clean inside when I have time as it's been neglected as I've been doing all the above and slowly panel by panel machine polishing it as it's really swirly  :sick: hopefully have all the paint corrected before my winter detail, times ticking! Just trying to get it up to my standards.

Couple of pics of how it's looking, looks and drives much better on the 18" monzas

Chris92:
So the other day this arrive, ceramic revo intake  :evilgrin:



And today I finally had a chance to fit it. This is my first real performance mod ever, hopefully many more to come   :happy2:

This is what i have and will always think of the stock airbox, I hate removing it.



And mod complete  :driver:



Wasn't sure when I first took it out for a spin earlier but after a short journey I love it  :driver: I followed the intrusions perfect but still had a few washers left and a bracket left also missing a bolt to screw the bracket onto the battery tray, anyone else found this with their revo intake or have I cocked up?

Andy:
About time you got a build thread Chris :happy2:

I was on the fence! But that's convinced me to get a camcoat!  :happy2:
