with regards to the induction kit, would it not be a good idea to twist it so it isnt sitting above the exhaust manifold?

i can only see it getting hot there... :D

ur right, it would be a good idea, but the inlet wont twist without cutting it and fitting some sort of bracket to hold it all together. its on my list of things to do, but for now ive got a cold air feed on order and will fit that b4 i work out how to change the angle. its been ok so far and the engine temp has been sitting a lot lower than b4 i fitted the induction so it will do for now.
 
well, today has been quite productive, be it a little damp with all the rain.
got my lambda sensor changed so now running with 2 new sensors. (y)
also changed my spark plugs and split breather pipe. decided while i was there that id tinker with my induction so the filter is no longer sat over the manifold but instead sat infront of the battery. just cut the inlet pipe, slipped in a small piece of metal pipe, twisted the end around and fitted it back together with some jubilee clips. seems to be sturdy and should be a lot cooler now as its close to all the cool air comming in from the front. looks like a real bodge job (which it is) but it should do quite nicely. think ill still fit a cold air feed somewhere tho as i have it and saves it taking up room in my shed. lol.
