    The only thing that can save your teal soaked existence now is a video of the sound with the airbox removed...

    Do it to it...

    That is shameful! I assume it was less than 1000 dollars?

    Right now Oz seems nearly as expensive as the UK to live so doubt I'd have a V8 either! We were going to go on holiday there but the exchange rate is shameful compared to a few years back.
    Not only that, but if memory serves the second hand car market over there is much more expensive than over here.

    It was $1200 with 11 months rego

    So $500 for the car and $700 in tax

    Passed the roadworthy after i had to glue the cloth back onto the roof panel

    As for the airbox mod, maybe...
