I was looking at the tyres going through the original pics and thought something was up when I saw the front tyres.
Awesome looking engine.

OK, today I got the new intake setup finished and I to be honest, it has to be one of the best modifications that I have ever done.
As you can see in the photo above, I have a 3" cold air feed to feed the rear filter (the bonnet scoop is now null & void), adding to the original cold air feed which feeds the front filter.
I installed a new twin 76mm (3") intake on the front and used neoprene piping to feed both filters.
I feel now, that the car is now almost complete, just the intercooler to do and new rear beam bushes and that's it!
OK, now for the test run...

After completion, I decided to hit the private track and give the car a wee test run on low boost setting.
To put it simply, I am amazed at the difference in power output on low boost in comparison to my old open filter setup.
The speedo is as you may know or may not know, an Import Pulsar unit, with an AUTECH face, converted to MPH (180 max). Oh and the boost is roughly set at 10 psi.
I will need to get it on the rollers to see how much of a difference there is on the high boost setting and also to check the AFR's and for any detonation.
First impressions though are astounding!!!
Sorry about the quality of the video, as it was from my phone!

Looks very slick dave mightily impressed, Id like a N/A car that pics up that well over a ton
Would be nice to see this in action again . . . . . 
Fuck! That flies over a ton!
What do I think it would pull to?
It hits the rev limiter in 5th at 8600 rpm on high boost and calculating from the gears and tyre size it should be just shy of 200 mph, but until I get it officially recorded, I will not believe it.
A wee trip to AVA this morning just to see if everything was OK, since the car hasn't been remapped since the exhaust and intake change.
Yet again, on 22 psi, in 5th gear due to traction issues...
Run before and after mapping (mostly more ignition advance in the lower end, hence the quicker spool time and a bit more fuel in the top end)
SERIOUSLY HAPPY!!!

P.S. No gearbox breakages!!!
