Latest pics...

Drove around looking for a good place to take some better pics today before it got too dark and the rain hit. Some of them are a bit grainy because of the time of day but I think they look better than the first lot...

nice, how many clicks has it done. and how much did your CAI set you back, and is it genuine?

'87 VL Exec & '95 VS Berlina
Thanks guys. It's done 155k Pete. I whacked the CAI on over Easter. Got all the parts from Bay City Holden in Frankston (so it's genuine)- they came to around $68 from memory. That's with the rivets. It's cheaper to buy on eBay but I was keen to put it on and didn't wanna wait for it to come in the mail. If you look in the part numbers thread it will give you all the nos which makes it easier for the Holden dude to look it up. There's another thread on here somewhere detailing how to install it but it's pretty self-explanatory. The most difficult thing is cutting the bottom of the airbox to size (easily done with an electric jigsaw) as you don't want to go too big. If you (or anyone else) is thinking of doing it then drop me a message and I'll help you out.
