Troy,

You could do with an airbox similar to mine. Pretty sure you could get a decent sized box in the space available, with room for a decent sized pod inside, then have an air duct thru the inner guard in front of the front wheel........

Cheers

Daz

i thought ill update with a few recent mods/a touch of rice :lol: :lol: ..
over the last couple of years ive tried different cluster lighting arangements.
including putting blue cover on the std globes which faded and lost the colour..
i also previously i had dyed the cluster globes red to match the afr and boost gauge i had,
this got old fast lol.. kind of reminded me of a commodore..lol.
so i had sourced a xg cluster facia which has white writing instead of the ed orange..
i left it white for some time, but i decided to purchase some autometer cobalt gauges for a change..
so i thought why not go blue on the rest of the lighting, i purchased some t10 lights with 5 smd blue leds on each globe, these light up awsome.
for those that dont know how the ed cluster is lit up, there is a clear plastic top cover that transfers the light from the rear globes to light up the front of cluster facia,
well this was now lit up blue and the orange needles were hard to see.
so i covered the plastic cover so no blue light was tranfered to the front and added a white led strip to the top of the cluster lighting the front of the facia white so the orange needls lit up..,

im just waiting for some blue t5 smd led globes to do the heater control panel aswell..

next i got a set of manual bf xr/fpv pedal covers from ebay..
a few little modifications to get them to fit but nothing hard..

Whered you get the leds from troy? Does your cluster have the holster bases or is it a single unit (bulb and holster). Ive been having a look for them recently but havent had any success.
The blue looks really good. Noice addition

Cheers

Sam

yea im wraped with the 1/4 mile time... its .8 of a second faster over the 1/4 than when it was supercharged..
on a cooler day and a better launch i would like to see a flat 13 or faster but its not that important...

With what youve got, i dont think 12 is out of the question. Bu streetability is probably more important...

Cheers
