nice one, looks good!

Did you make up a 'kit' for the reverse IC yourself?

Dan850R · Nov 5th, 2006, 18:52

yeah i had the top pipe made for me, got the filter off ebay, but the rest is genuine volvo, just something a bit different really.

that looks excellent, is the orange the Focus ST orange? (mates just powder coated the cam cover on his 200sx that colour)

did you notice any difference converting to the reverse IC?

Dan850R · Nov 5th, 2006, 20:14

its actually vw orange from halfords ( couldnt get st orange )

at first it felt like it had loads of lag but it could of been the ecu trying to figure out why it had more air with the new filter, after a few miles it sorted its self out.

But i must say its got a lot more low down grunt now, it`ll easily spin its wheels from standstill

Looks pretty cool and you get a performance improvement to boot!

Excuse my ignorance, but is the carbon box, actually the carbon cyclinder to the right of center in the middle picture? Is that the air filter?

By the way, that misty effect on the photo's could be from a 1970's glamor shoot. Is that how you see your car (through a vaseline coated lense)?

lol, yeah thats the air filter, as for the picture quality dont know whats up with that its started taking overly bright pictures!

Where do get the air filter from then? - I've been contemplating a cone filter, but that looks to be a more robust option.
