Nice write up, did you paint the seat backs and console yourself? I have some hardbacks with scruffy covers myself..

This is a great post, I do the same documenting on Pistonheads, should've done it on here as well to be honest!

I've gone through a similar thing of improving over time, as and when. Yours looks a great example! I saw those seats, they were a great purchase.

Thank you.

No, I had a friend do them for me, I have tried painting in the past with disastrous results, it one of those jobs I leave well and truly to those with the skills.

That's very kind of you.

I have read and enjoyed your PH thread.

I do have a parallel thread running on PH but don't think it's as up to date as this one, maybe a job for today is getting it updated.

Thanks! I enjoy documenting the ownership through words and pictures (I tend to ignore costs haha)

What did you end up doing with your K&N? I keep fancying one to try out albeit I think I'd come to the same conclusion as you and remove it shortly after. I've been keeping an eye out second hand.

Also is the 3.8 labelled airbox a straight swap?

I'm a bit of a car parts hoarder and still have it in the garage, I have been meaning to advertise it as I doubt I'll put it back on as to the car is rather vocal since fitting of the sports cats.

If your interested drop me a PM.

Yes, the 3.8 box is pretty my much a straight fit, it just requires a small amount of the airbox material trimming to clear the latch mechanism.

Thanks for the info! I'll fire you a PM, too.
