If you see a bright metallic green VXII with stickers all over the back window (B&S type stickers - a massive white longhorn etc - I'm from the country!), give me a wave!

Yeah, I'm always driving, getting pulled over or something..

Will do mate..

First a wash with Heavy duty wash and a sponge..

Polish with Meguairs Step 2 Car Polish..

Wax with Zymol Cleaner Wax..

Takes a few hours.. But well worth it, until you leave it in the rain. Which is bad..

Plus, the pod seems to give the car a kick in the arse at about 4-5000rpm, when I'm flooring it.. I haven't looked back, shits on the K+N Panel I used to have..

Shounak,
Nice ride dude. Just a suggestion, try installing a proper cold air intake kit with a snorkel to draw air from outside the engine bay - it'll be heaps better than the pod filter. I had used a pod filter, like yours, for many years until I replaced it with the proper kit. I'm now using a K&N panel filter in the standard filter box and it draws air from the front of the car from just underneath the bonnet - and it is a lot better than my old pod. My old pod setup was exactly like yours - unfortunately it draws in "hot" air within the engine bay.
Check out FIT's intake kit - Type S cold air intake kit $295

I used to have a K+N in there, the unshielded pod is heaps better than just the panel. Warm air into the mixer is probably a good thing for gas, who knows..

But cheers mate..

I've got King Spring Super Lows all round..

About the settling, it's nothing I've really noticed. But I haven't been looking to closely though..

Reset FE2's though eh.. We should both take pics of our cars sitting on Coke cans to see the difference.. Although you've got the S pack kit..

And cheers about the exhaust.. I love havin a car that makes loud vroom vroom noises..

Ok, yeah, whatever is better for you i suppose. Maybe i wasn't clear, what i mean is the CAI kit like the standard vs supercharge setup. I replaced my standard box filter in my vr to an open pod like what you've got and of course, it was much much better, then i replaced the open pod filter with the vs over-the-radiator snorkerl into the seal box with a K+N panel filter and it is better than the open pod, very noticeable at night when its colder.

Later man.
