I have to say.............
a huge thanks to Pete, Jason and all the Guys at Spec R true professionals.
Heres a pic of engine bay when i bought the car
A year later and my efforts got it like this
2 weeks in the hands of Spec R and it looks like this.
This is not finished they are making me up a Turbo Heatshield and the lid on the airbox will be engraved with Type R by the week end
Theres also a baffled Oil catch tank you cant see.
So thanks Guys and thanks for all the tea Pete

Looks superb - especially Airbox! - Agree with Tone Loc though, does the "hair-pin" bend on the inlet pipe not cuase problems? Perhaps could have been routed into box parallel to front of car?
Even so - looks fantastic, how much would a similar air box be (roughly?!) (too lazy to pick up phone!)

Not wanting to sound rude at all but does it have any performance gain by doing it?

Well ive just been to Exeter and back and i have to say it definitely is better seems to pick up much harder if that makes sence. Cant comment on airbox price m8 mine was specially made to accomodate my Intercooler pipes. If your at Rally Day Saturday talk to Pete i know he wants to get them into production.
Thanks for your comments the bend certainly doesnt seem to have an adverse affect it goes really well. Thans again to ALL the guys at Spec R a top class bunch of guys
