Thanks LM. Hey how much did your monaro bonnet cost you? Cause i love it and i want one lol.

Cost about $1100 supplied, painted & fitted.

I went to the local repco yesterday and they quoted me $440 for 35mm lowered king springs all round, fitted and with a wheel alignment. Not too bad i thought. Hes charging me $150 a pair for the springs. He also recommend that i get KYB shocks in the back as theyre stuffed and said theyre about $150 a pair. Hows that sound?

Sounds pretty good to me, does the $150 for the KYB shocks include fitting? From memory it cost me $600ish for all four springs, and rear shocks and front struts, then about $150 to get it all fitted. Also are the 35mm lowered spring the Low or Super Low, cos i dont think you will be happy with anything higher than the super lows, and like i said previously i would go Ultra Lows in the rear if i had my time over again.

Yea i thought that, but i travel out west to my parents place a fair bit and the roads are pretty crappy. And i would have too much trouble with clearance problems. I doesnt really worry me if its still sits a little high, i just want it to be lower than it is now, cause its way to high.

Im not sure if that was Low or Super Low. Ill find out.

Thanks

Tough question mate, different people will tell you different things.

I have ran with an SS Inductions CAI using a K&N Panel Filter and then changed to a K&N Pod Filter with a custom polished enclosure (for legal reasons - see attached pics), but both versions were pre-charger. In my experience i found the pod filter and custom enclosure gave more throttle responce, felt like it pulled harder, and had a wicked induction sound, as it utilised the front guard for the CAI. Unfortunately this was more expensive than the traditional over-the-radiator CAI.

In the near future i think i will be going to the Cold-Air Induction Enclosure from MACE Engineering. Have read good things about it from a few people.

At the end of the day its up to you, i would read up on the different styles and then make an informed decision yourself. As it is now though, it is illegal, as the Pod Filter is sucking in air from the engine bay. Like i said, the enclosure i used was legal, and it did the job, and looked pretty doing it.

was looking at the attatched picture, where did you get the intake kit from? love the look of the stainless steel and wouldnt mind the induction sound! its definetly a kit i wouldnt mind but cant find where to buy 1 to suit!
