  1. The Apexi isnt a dual cone design though, i find it hard to believe the whole surface of the cone is less than a fifth of the oem filter? It must be huge? The branded aftermarket suppliers will need to produce to some standards, else it would ruin their reputation. The crappy no name ones may be rubbish yes. Plus plenty of tests have been done to show the materials flow alot more air than stock filter material, of course at the expense of filtration, but thats a trade off i guess. The OEM induction box will be produced with noise restrictions, filter restrictions etc... that aftermarket kits wont be. I guess the only concrete way of testing would be to RR a car with the stock airbox on then again with an aftermarket kit on. I really cant see the stock system being better than a BMC sealed filter with a direct cold air feed though.
  2. Surely you would get a 'ram' effect from a properly placed cone filter though? And the open ended cones must have a much larger area than normal cones? And dont forget, Toyota didnt design the filters to be the ultimate in performance.
  3. Are the no CAI available for the Supra then? I had an AEM v" on my civic and it was fantastic, filter was located right at the bottom of the bumper infront of the intake. I guess a universal CAI like a Viper or BMC would be the best option?
  4. Justice i believe, not sure on the alcohol ones though tbh
  5. I hope he is not guilty, i certainly dont think he is

    supra pics!

    Gotta change the HTML tho
  7. Won't look good imo. It looks good on the mini because the car is covered in chrome bits and its not a sleek sports coupe
  8. Some cheap prices above. I'm 21, 3 years no claims, an accident last year, and it comes to under £2k for a TT 6spd with Elephant, expect to get cheaper than that though when i shop around
  9. Is that a standard colour? Dont think ive seen it before
  10. Probably had to swap them for saftey or some such rubbish
  11. I would think its pretty complicated and hard to give a definitive yes/no unless someone has already tried it. Dont forget the weight of the wheels also, lighter wheels will mean less unsprung mass and so greater acceleration. Lower tyre pressures for the reason above.
  12. Narrower tyres = less grip though, so i guess its a balance.
  13. The Tuscan actually looks pretty good with stripes

    Trax

    I'll be going, hopefully i'll have a Supra by then too
  15. Will have to get this tomorrow if i can find it. I dont know why your surprised, it fully deserves a feature looking at it
  16. So did you commit the offence or not then?
  17. She's hot too, when she's tarted up anyway
  18. She's so lovely! That beer bootle is soooooooooooo glued to the tray though!
  19. Very true, but they still look sexy (from a distance anyway )
  20. Yes, estimate is to return car to standard before accident
