here's just two of the things i've done recently when i got bored:
1. Painted rocker cover 2. Cut open a spare air box we had lying around (i really need a new filter :Reverend: ) Dunno if anyone would be interested just thought i'd show ya. i recommend that if anyone has a spare airbox to do what i did. the sound is something crazy and has a little more pull due to the greater air flow.

falcon351: go and do it mate its mad. i'd look into getting a spare though incase you dont like it or your car runs really hot. it works best in cold weather (like all cars i guess)

i woulda cut the hole in the front and taken out the rubber in front of it from the bonnet seal so cold air comes in
oh i did do that.. instead cut holes and put mesh behind paint black and it looks stock
