anyone wana try it with theirs....
you first need to get a tripod, without one it wont really work....
if the tripod isnt tall enough put it on some chairs (thats what i did lol)
then take a photo of the car with bonnet shut, then another one with the bonnet open.
thats done so next is to go upload ur pics... then put them both into photoshop or similar program, and cut out just the engine bay on the open bonnet one, put this layer on top of the other, i then bought down the opacity and thats how the first one was done!
second one is similar except when you come to the photoshop bit put the open bonnet on bottom layer, then using the oval marquee tool with a nice big feather, cut out part of the bonnet from the shut bonnet pic!! really easy to do and looks cool!!
also if you aint got photoshop get the pics and ill do it for you!!! god im bored!!

take off the front part of the air filter system...
it's the bit which has like a U bend tube... mainly used for sound deadening...
still have the main box on the car, but just the front bit that has all that sound deadening and big u bend style stuff, get rid of it - it restricts your engine.

no... you see your PAS bottle ... that box part of the induction to the left of it...
The rectangular thing that's up against the front of your car (near your rad).... That is basically an opening, then it goes all the way downwards near your exhaust mani, and then does a U and then comes all the way back up to connect to the other rectangular box (your induction bit holding your filter etc)...
The front black rectangular box (and all the plumbing underneathe) can just be taken out.
