Cant believe how much smoother and responsive the car is!

I recommend spending £4.50 on carb cleaner and spending an hour doing cleaning the intake parts.
Have been thinking of doing this myself. Easy quick job would you say???

Gotta love the cheap or even cost free jobs that actually make a difference :wink:
I would say its an hour and a half max. Easy as all you have to do is under a few hose clips and the air flow meter box, the ICV is the most difficult bit as its right up against the bulkhead, its held to the rocker cover by 1x 11mm bolt.

Depends what else you wanna clean up, for example the grime on the inner wings etc etc!
