Cheers lads 
Warren I know what you mean tbh. Sometimes I wish I hadn't gone so OCD about it  I can't see it staying that clean for long as it will be used as my everyday car again. I'll have to try and keep on top of it lol
Dan, by the end of next week

The ATS is about 25-30mm
One of these is perfect

Big mistake fitting a cone filter as well Shaun.
The improvement from re-fitting the airbox drilled with a K&N was ridiculous!

I'd keep it as a weekend car Shaun..... that is sooooooo clean i wouldnt use it every day! TV Feature FTW.
I've just told Lou i'm having an inlet like yours! plus she adds that she likes the work..... could even grace our drive if your Drifting down Snetterton this year.

Sean I was hoping it would be alright being as its an enclosed jobbie? If its turns out to be pap I can always change it back. It looks nice though 
Adam, I really wish I could keep it as a second car but I can't afford to run both so my 106 has got to go  Hopefully next year my insurance will drop down nicely again and so I can look at having a different everyday car again. Its a shame really, I'm not going to be able to tell the gain the inlets makes with it being on from the start. Hoping it frees up a few BHP Really hoping to get a least one drifting round in this year! Havent used my car in about a year 
Cheers Andy, I'm gonna be a ghey and not take it out in the rain before pvs to keep it as good as possible lol. After that I'm not going to worry and just try to keep on top of it Lots of wax is the plan!

Well if you do make it to the 1st Snetterton i'll take you out in OCDC and you'll feel the difference, speaking with my man in the Know these power boxes reduce low rpm torque but up the bhp.

Incase you haven't checked back to my thread mate, the inlet made a good difference to my car. Especially top end of the revs. If you have been in a vtec, when the power just kinda kicks in lol, but not as powerfull obviously. Ordering one of them oil catch tanks tonight

Sounds like a plan that Matt. Once I've got it back on the road I'll deffo get in touch about sorting something
Its a shame that I'm not going to be able to feel the actual gain of the inlet in a way. I've been out in Sean-B's Corsa a few times which is very similar to mine mods wise and it felt rapid to me! Always brings a smile to my face that car and makes me get all excited about getting mine done  The catch tanks looks great and serve a purpose so I'd say definitely go for one

Mark major fail on my part lol
Well its official...ITS ALIVE! well just about anyway lol
Saturday me and my dad got my Janspeed catback on! Went on nice and easy luckily. We that fitted my new 16v radiator and my slimline fan.
Then today we got the last couple of bits and bobs sorted. This included the vacuum pipes, brake servo pipe, HT leads etc. We then filled it up with the fluids ready to turn the key  I was so nervous but excited lol. I turned the key...nothing bloody happened lol. So we went back and checked all the connections and tried again. Turned the key and it turned over!
After a couple more goes it fired up...and swiftly cut out My EML was flashing when the ignition was on so I got myself on good old CS to find the problem, turned out to be the immobiliser. Panic then set in as I thought I may have a mismatched transponder and chip. I'd read a few thread on here which said to tape the new chip to the transponder ring so thats what I did. Me and Mark (little_duke) went to Sadla_xe's who very kindly removed the transponder, ecu and chip from his car for me to try but it dawned on us what the problem was. My 1.0 chip was still in the key so it was trying to read that and not the 1.6 one We quickly took my key apart and fitted the new chip, turned the key and it fired straight up!
However, its revving its arse off so I've only let it run for about 5-10 secs at a time as I dont want to damage anything (that means no vids just yet boo ) so we initially thought it was the ICV. However, I'm now thinking its more likely going to be a vacuum leak after reading a few similar stories on here. I'm going to re-do all my vacuum pipes and makes sure everything is done up correctly first before shelling out for a ICV
How I've left it today. So glad I know it runs now! Can't wait to sort this idle problem

Yeah I've got it off the car now. The Haynes manual says it can be a maximum of 33mm. It was set at 31-32mm so pretty close to the max.
Just coming on msn now

Cheers! It must be revving to about 4-5k from cold so I've just turned it off straight away because I was worried about breaking something. AW06 has given me some helpful advice over msn about the ICV so I'm going to try those out tomorrow. If not I'll just have to do as you said and see if it calms itself down if all else fails
