    lol nah I only drive the VN twice a week or so now

    The need for a daily isn't that big at the moment but it will be next year (except for when the car gets climate control or goes to ASV lol).

    Yeah, some places wouldnt even insure me. I've had insured cancelled on me before thanks to the modifications on the VN, so the insurance companies don't like me even though its a different car. Plus the 2 speeding fines, one of which had my licence cancelled. Cant get any better than a Rating 3

    Don't even consider thet turbo on that thing. It wont take any more then 5psi on stock internals...7psi for fun but watch for detonation.

    That aint too bad for a 50km/h crash, shoulda seen what my VL looked like in a low speed accident

    Does anyone sell an intake like that for it over here? Or shall I make my own?

    2 feet? Holy crap!

    I actually still have some PVC piping in the shed that I used to make a CAI for my old VL, so might go grab a cheap pod and get cracking on that

    Thanks for the pics man!

    DO IT!!! Trust me on that....you will blow past Commos with the intake roaring at them and watch the look on their faces...you haven't heard intake noise until you've heard the EJ intake roar.

    A good buddy of mine refered to it as the Apocolyptic Gates of Hell.

    lol They'll have plenty of time to hear it as well cause it will take a while to get past em

    Would an exhaust make any difference? Also what sort of exhaust would be well suited to it?

    An exhaust really isn't worth the effort on them. I put one on and noticed no noticeable gains. The only time I noticed it was when I went and turboed the engine and went catless (did I say that out loud?)
