Zonda_ · January 2, 2013, 14:29

Just bought the carbon airbox thingy frpm CBS here: http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/product/Remote_Carbon_Fibre_Canister_Air_Filter_CARBFIL I don't know how to mount my MAF though. I currently have a standard airbox which the MAF is attached to, what do I do the relocate it?

Help please!

Found plenty of places in the States that sold the sets, problem was with postage it was way too expensive, got it all in from Amazon America for £33, not cheap but it's the only way I can see to make the BMC air box fit. I'll report back when it arrives as to how it goes on.

Bit of a bummer this. Mine went straight on but I dont use a maf sensor, what I would of done is just bought the silicone hoses u like ie colour etc and just drilled out one of your hose joiners and fitted that. If u fet stuck let me know.

Just wondering how this went on? As I'm looking at buying this box. Also how does it sound? Just seems a better option then forking out for a bmc

Zonda_ · January 29, 2013, 19:59

The box itself is great and there is simply no reason to pay the extra for the BMC, they are the same. Not got if fitted yet as the weather has been terrible and it's going to need some alterations that I can't do.

Hi zonda, how u liking the new springs? I'm sure if u brought it down to the unit Tom could get it fitted for u mate, mine went on a treat s:)

Zonda_ · January 30, 2013, 22:45

Not had a chance to drive it properly yet, been too wet. Spoke to Tom about it, need somewhere that can drill some threaded holes and I should be fine.

dj2k21 · January 31, 2013, 20:46

Yeah should be ok then, I bet CBS sell something for that exact purpose you know, was just easier for me as I don't use a maf sensor but check out their catalogue because im sure lots run a maf sensor using that kit

Zonda_ · January 31, 2013, 20:58

I emailed them but they never replied. I just need somewhere that can drill and thread 2 holes then i should be fine.

Zonda_ · February 1, 2013, 19:30

Adaptor sorted, hopefully get it fitted tomorrow weather permitting.

dj2k21 · February 4, 2013, 13:12

Great stuff, glad it's sorted. How are the new springs?

Going well, need the tracking doing, not massively out but I can feel it.

dj2k21 · February 4, 2013, 19:00

Ahhh cool, well it's only a few quid at any tyre place. We're they lowering springs or just replacement because I couldn't really see a difference unless they hadn't settled ofcourse.

Zonda_ · February 4, 2013, 19:34

Lowering springs, it looks a lot lower now it's settled.

dj2k21 · February 4, 2013, 20:31

Ahh good that's spot on then, shame u didn't have more time at the unit but u seemed in a rush when I turned up mate.

Zonda_ · February 4, 2013, 21:27

Had to get back to pick up small child, didn't even know it was you!
