Yeah - problem is a dead standard car does the same times. People need to realize peak HP is not indicative of performance , or performance gained.

Haven't been done 1/4 mile yet but only have a time at barbagello short track....
59.7 sec which is still slower than my DC5R of 58.1 sec....
Only managed 8 hot laps in that night... Need more time...
A friend of mine ran his manual euro at Calder park, only mod was cai and did 15-16 secs.
Sorry to ask a newbie question, how will these mod affect fuel comsumption? Daily drive & track?
Measured on circuit before, a stock CL9 manual does about 29 L/100km on the track for the day. Haha.
Thanks for the input all. After some thinking I went with the CT icebox.. and got one shipped pretty fast from heeltoe.
GOtta say, i was a bit worried abt taking the bumper off at first, but i found a youtube video which helped.
Thought I'd share a few photos which might help those who want to do the same.
BUmper off. The instructions tell you where the clips are

The stock resonator to take out. Wasnt easy..! Unclipping the mudguard helped wiggle out the intake pipe which is connected inside the engine bay

The stock inlet pipe, now connected to icebox lid. This was a pain to put on.. really a 2 person job.

2 metal spacers/fasteners thingo that I had to take out so the icebox lid could actually screw down (thanks to aaronng for the tip). I've read a lot of ppl had the same issue securing the lid on for a tight seal.

And at last...final result.WIth the CT Engineering decal I stuck on the lid.. that itself added an extra 5hp..lol.
