If the dump valve is too quiet for you try a collins engineering, ment to be a lot better and also cheaper.

Good to see you got yours back on the road mr shep, ill have to pop down one weekend for a photoshoot once I get it lowered etc.
The accord passed its MOT today, so once thats sold, it will free up some cash for the ashtray

Got loads of stuff in the post today:
Also got the new mesh for the bottom grille, but I ordered the wrong stuff Hopefully I can get it exchanged for the open hex, this stuff has no holes
Fitted the power pipe and dump valve, using a multitude of different jubilee clips as a few broke Have ordered nice silicone hoses and proper clamps though:

Only just bought them, gotta wait for delivery, be a while due to easter weekend
Christ, thats not good, nothing serious I hope?
In other news, fitted the GSI headlights and the 4300k HID's, looks awesome, but main beam looks so terrible next to them now
No pics yet as my phone is off for repair again, its my only camera
Oh yeah, got my silicone hoses and clamps, but they are far too big, bought the wrong size Hopefully I can get them exchanged.

Airbox was around £50 from autovaux. Only reason I got the 2.2 airbox as I dont have to buy new hoses for it, can use the original z20let items.
