Hi all little up date


Fitted my new arc airbox with new filters from pipercross


I was concerned about how close the bottom air filter was to the alloy radiator.

so I made a ram air duct from glassfibre and plumbed it in the front bumper

Now I have an air tight seal around the bottom filter

Hi guys

My wideband came this week so I got to work making up a pod for the gauges.

This time I've made a twin pod for both my boost gauge and my new innovate mtx wideband

Here's a few pics anyway
