Your welcome, it's amazing how just a few bolts hold it all in the car. the amount of times ive removed the engine and replaced it back in ive lost count and is sometimes a nightmare lining the engine back up to the gearbox. i know i'll never remove an engine out the top again  and as you say atleast you can clean the enine bay of all the crap that gets collected there.

yeah it seems to work good, nothing but cold air . I have thought about puting gti vents on like u say they are more of a 'scoop'.
l have no probs with driving in heavy rain or jet washing. l have put a little peak on it same as the heater motor has. Same set up to what i had on my GTa which allways done well at pod.

Location: sittingbourne, kent		A little update, just bought my new janspeed 160 manifold to replace my current 4 bolt mani and downpipe.






Just hope it makes a different for the money they cost.

Also now has a piper cat back exhaust system, sounds quite nice not as quiet as i wanted but hey a lot quieter then a
sportex and very good quality too.

I have now gathered all my bits to convert my r100 into a mk3 GTi replica just need to get my new bonnet and splitter sprayed

well its originaly designed for a mg zr 160 and you would need a janspeed de-cat pipe
which i presume has a flexi with in it.

l will modify it my self with a flexi with a direct pipe to the rest of the system

Location: sittingbourne, kent		Janspeed manifold all fitted, very pleased with the results over a 4 bolt manifold fits snug to the sump.
Sounds totaly different, performs very well especialy at high rpm.

A few pics of my mk3 GTi conversion, not sure what to do with rubbing strips
weather to just remove them or put the GTi ones.
