Here's my day for you all.
I called Peter@GSR yesterday so knew that the kit was due today. Woke up around 9 o'clock to a knock on the door. Jumped outta bed and collected my parcel. Just like Christmas, I grabbed a knife and ripped open the box. Then grabbed a screwdriver and my car keys. The original fittings came off much easier than I thought. All the bits laid on my drive as I laughed at the pain they had caused my performance. While the airbox was off I decided to change the spark plugs. Got some nice nwe NGK ones in there now. Don't know how much difference they've made but new plugs can't harm.
So, I whack on the new induction kit and take her for a spin. Don't really notice the change first of all to my upmost dissapointment but as the day goes on and the miles tick over...OMG!!!! No more 3k rpm flatspot, no more crap acceleration and one meaty noise grunting from under my bonnet when I give it some! I can't really compare with the likes of Pipercross and K&N because this is my first (and last) induction kit but this is good. very good. When I first got the car, as standard, me+a mate tested the 0-60 time. Bearing in mind he is a big guy (lol!!) we timed it at 14.8 secs. This is on a mobile phone and taking the speedo as read. Today, under same circumstances, on the same road...11.7
I'm well pleased!
