Yes, they have re-done most of the road. It's really smooth now.

Heheh, I bought some new Ep3 headlights that i saw for sale on ebay. It's just the headlight without any of the globes, it is a JDM Headlight and has the HID unit on both of them (bought a pair), Courier to my door for $250 what do you guys reckon? good deal?

Also, further info on the previous intake I asked about. That is the intake installed there, do you guys reckon it is a bad idea?

If so I'd think they would draw in hot air as it's quite close to the header.

Where else would it sit?

Yes , it would draw the air from the engine bay!

In short (IMO) yes it would have heat soak in traffic and dyno.... But when the car is in motion and the heat gets drawn from under the car, it would not be that bad.

Try it out for yourself!

I got 13.9 down the quarter with SRI and cat back (lower than some with more mods)......so it cant that bad!

Therefore in theory injen/gruppe m etc CAI are better design.

You cannot fully test SRI on a dyno as the car is static! It is known that engine bays run considerably cooler when car is in motion. Having said that, summer periods wont help

Yes, injen gruppem are better designed and is better, but Twest is getting the filter free! Better than $500 and $1000!

Just mock up a shield to keep some of the heat away
