Been around for about 5-6 years now. Not latest at all.

They are functional and do work well. IF you don't live in the UK or drive in sh1tty conditions.

As for water soak, do you guys never see the water your inductions kits will take in? Especially those without inner arches.....

i saw one on a 106. I just pointed and laughed, i wouldnt care who was driving the car...makes you look like a class A prat. Why would you want to make your car look like its got more perfomance than its got anyway?

Just save up and get a BMC or a Viper

Class A prat i think not, imo, that is. Not everyone builds or wants to build a performance car! And it wasn't struggling in terms of performance when me, Rob and Jaffa we're rushing back to Calais in the outside lane (won't say speeds for fear of being flamed)

From memory, they were about £150 5-6 years ago when they first came out.

Whats the RRP on a viper, £250 isn't it????

Also, didn't you have a corsa too? Was it standard, or did you have an exhaust or filter or anything more on it? Now re-read your above comment

A BMC CDA is £152 brand new

Having an exhaust and filter is all well and good if its subtle

The Civic may as well have a "16V TURBO" badge on it

its not a fake fmic tho isit, its a airfilter positioned in the area where it can recieve the most air.
its haped like that to gain greater surface area etc.
your quite a fool if you mistake one for a real fmic. since it only has pipework on oneside
