but this is why i installed the K+N typhoon box and modified it to fit properly and then modified it to take the Apexi filter. the metal box was hidden just showing a lovely Carbon lid, was my favourite carbon airbox; well until i got my new one for the XKR which is an enclosed complete carbon box.

i reckon if i could have half a day with an ARC air box i could do the drawings for it. in my workshop i've got metal shears and giloutines as well as a sheet metal bender. but it would be easier to get the fabricator to do most of the work.
doesn;t mean the price will come down though
basically they have one guy making them by hand using magic dragon claws and pixie wings.he can only make 3 a year so they sell them for lots of cash becuase of this.
what makes me laugh is that the case only costs about £20 to make and the filter probably another £20, but the markup is huge.
i always go on the principal that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. because at the end of the day you don;t get something for nothing.
yes its very cliche but its true. scams tend to scam those that are greedy. its why it works. if people weren;t greedy they wouldn't invest.
yeah and stop sticking them steroids up your arsehole lol if he;s an ipswich lad i'd love to meet him sometime, he looks like he would be a laugh over a pint. good sense of humour.
does he teach in suffolk now or has he moved else where? the makro in the background looks like the ipswich one?
the cars are set to meet legislation for different countries, so the settings are changed depending on which domestic market it is being supplied to. this could be adjustments for emissions, amoungst many other things.
