two quick ones
 

first thing i was thinking of fitting a larger air scoop will this aid the standard intercooler or is there only a benifit when a new age intercooler is fitted? also this may seen stupid but would it benifit from a remap as the intercooler would be getting more air in etc? (please dont shoot me down just checking)

again this may be stupid but can you fit a front break setup say ap or similar to the rear? just i need to replace my disks and pads and was thinking if it was possible to buy a front ap 4 pot kit from a for sale section and fit it on the rear

p.s be nice lol

By fitting a larger scoop you're not getting more air into the engine - the intercooler cools the air that's all. So, by fitting a larger scoop you're potentially just cooling the air more. You don't need a remap or anything. Imagine a hot day versus a cold day the air temperature entering the engine will change according to the ambient air temperature. It's still a benifit though - so do it!

I wouldn't even try to fit front brakes to the rear. For starters they'd not fit without lots of work, but more importantly, you'd possibly lock the rear wheels - if non ABS car like my Type R. Braking systems should be 'matched'. Upgrade the front if you like, but not just the rears. There's no real benifit as most of the braking is on the front anyway!


This is all my opinion of course ;)

I agree with the above :D:D
