Had the car serviced and mot'd! Said they have never seen such a clean car underneath, changed oil, filter, coolant, gearbox and fuel filter.

Looks great Dave. Quite tempted by something similar as that vent stays closed mostly all the time in mine. Any links to the product you went for?dave c said:From this...

I bought the Defi's second hand mate, I got 2 x gauges (boost & oil pressure) + the control box and then all the sensors and wires for about £250 iircdavidpingu said:
Dead easy to do tho
Main reason I wanted it off the dash was as I run an hks lower seat rail anything on the dash obscures my view of the corner clipping points.

Nice update Johno, Js is a really nice intake, the best looking one anyway, top notch part there, Nice rocker cover also. How does the intake sound / feel compared to the aem or is it an injen you had? I have done nothing to my car this weekend, only been on the road twice in the last 8 weeks

Yeah it is one of my favourite looking intakes for the DC5's. The rocker cover credit goes to Porthos as he inputted all the detail on there, I am just carrying on parts of his engine bay legacy haha.TyperItr said:
The power and noise feels much better than the AEM CAI I had, which was a pain to remove! that took me longer than anything else lol.
Yeah Porthos old one oneTeegwa said:Porthos' old one iirc?
Looks minted in the flesh nice neo chrome bling looks good with the Js buddy
about time I start some changes on my car haha.
My DC5 is going in to the dealers for its service and MOT on Tuesday, and is also getting new discs and pads. On Wednesday, it's going back into the body shop to get the rear bumper sorted as the fit and finish was dreadful and in all honesty, it was a sub-standard repair.
This is how bad it is...... http://youtu.be/jxPv2pKue48
It was keyed last month on the drivers rear wheel arch, (needs resprayed along with a new decal), so I've obtained a price along with taking the two dents out of the drivers door and dealing with a stonechip was has started to rust on the drivers wing. Also whilst it's in, I'm getting the alloys re-furbished. Cost will be £1,200 and with a service bill of around £800, so it's a cool £2k being spent in the next few weeks.
And here is the key-damage.......scumbags tbh.
