Took Burgermans advice

Today I dumped the K&Ns off the V8 and put the standard airbox back in place and gave it a direct cold air feed (in a V8 Sierra stylee). No more nasty resonating noises produced, which is nice. So the engine bay now looks like this:

And thanks to Dave Plowman the outside now looks like this:

you spot the difference? So, of course, a wee test drive was in order:

much smoother :D So big thanks to Burgerman and Dave!!!


That looks beastly and functional hehe :-) In a good way, much prefer it to those old K&Ns.

Those wheel centre caps?

I gave you 5 stars :-)

Heh, I liked the look of the K&Ns, but if they're crap they had to go. Strangely the guy i bought them off never had any resonating noise problems with them on his engine in his TR7. So they just dont like my car. Ah well I'll whack em ob Ebay later.

Gold star for you!

Sounds like the sierra other than theres no tyre squeeling when you hit 2nd and 3rd...

Yes: it drives faster than the rain... because it's dry under the car.

Kisses all round: here ya go, Mr Gibbs ;-)

Ps : you keep those rims bloody neat, it must be said!

Aaarr! You have a womans arms, sir!! ;-)

Sounds quite like mine actually. I'll have to get a clip up. Although mine only does the noises :-(

They're accountants arms :)

Do it!

Cheers. I think :)

They've only just gone on there and I gave them a clean a few weeks ago when I was showing it. They're not perfect, but they were a bargain for £26!! Although the front one you can't see is a bit manky but I'm trying to source a decent one to replace it with.

Why thank you. I'm pretty pleased with the soundtrack I've acheived :)
