Its not an induction kit, its only the filter - a semi enclosed steel mesh filter 3 inch. All the systems and sensors are still there - i'm looking into fabricating my own induction kit which will allow me to retain the EGR system |

I have completely removed the airbox and disconnected the MAF sensor from it - it connects to the airbox via a regular 76-78 mm diameter outlet. The moment it was disconnected i attached the aftermarket filter retaining the normal function of the MAF. as far as I know every car is the same in that aspect, at least all the cars i modified |

Mate i must say your car is really nice . I think a white Ba can look so nice and you are well on your way to making Akira look wicked . I am eager to see what you are going to come up with next .

The paint flaked off completely, repainted with industrial poly paint, then hit a brick in the road the lip completely folded but the paint stayed intact finally. The other news are that i have installed a 3 inch ram air feed to the stock airbox (as cone filters are illegal here). The law just made me go one step more extreme with my measures  [img]http://hphotos-ash4.fbcdn.net/339659_253236761387320_100001029938165_759703_1488343267_o.jpg[/img] [img]http://hphotos-ash4.fbcdn.net/339915_253236394720690_100001029938165_759702_2057599361_o.jpg[/img] [img]http://hphotos-iad1.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/289063_253236161387380_100001029938165_759701_443995170_o.jpg[/img] Today i got a nice DHL truck sitting outside home, with a friendly guy giving me a Stebel nautilus truck air horn, 300hz and 110db of fury! |
