Green cotton filter

Latest purchase for the FR: Green cotton filter. Popped down to JKM in Portsmouth as its nice and close and I'm on half-term holidays this week! Picked up the Green cotton filter from them, returned home and fitted it. Had to remove the strut brace first but that only took a couple of minutes! Here are some pictures (sorry about the quality, they were taken on my phone!)

Old filter coming out

Comparing the two filters

Look at the thickness of that!

All back again

As the FR looks at the moment

Just been out for a short blast and I can't really tell. It must be better though, just look at the thickness of the standard filter All necessary for the remap that I hope to be getting soon...

Just read your thread on the P-Torque area! Sounds good. Just need to wait until I get enough cash together really... it is a must. The only thing is... once you et a Stage 1, won't you just want a Stage 2

Have to decide on what to do next: wheels, lower or remap!

Remap

Remap

The FR has enough power for me at the moment... but modding is addictive as we all know!

 

[Damoegan]

If your happy with the power then I would get some coilovers mate.

Coilovers might be the next stage! Got an expensive year coming up (three holidays booked) so might have to take it easy! Thought about a rear anti-roll bar... heard good things about the Whiteline one!

Remap, Lower, Wheels is the right order!

How are you finding the P-Torque remap? It does not seem to offer the increases in BHP and torque that Revo and Custom Code do... but then it is cheaper!

im loving it! makes the car so much more driverable. CC and REVO give pretty much the same if not slightly less out puts looking at the PD130 stats on there sites
