a) yes, you accelerate out of a corner and
b) its FWD

Hey, this thread is about what work you did on you car, not what work you did in your car...

If it was the latter, it could get messy (no pun)

lol and ftoaustralia always sticks to thread purposes!

fair enough...

ducted my intake to infront of the radiator, but i dont like the heat from the radiator heating up the ducting so im thinking itll have to change...

any ideas on some flexible heatproof piping? about 10cm long, just long enough to run beside the radiator without melting

Are you serious? Water wetter? Isn't normal water wet enough??

I cleaned the insides of my windows today. I had this fine film of goo stuck to the insides of the window. I had to clean it as when it gets a bit of glare and I can't see.

I'll give ya a quick fix, bonnet mount bolts closest to the windscreen, add 5 washers and fasten, farthest away add 4 washers. I did that and my engine bay temps plummeted
