What model Lexus? If you slam it by the way you might have problems with everyday driving.

The thing that strikes me is that steviebmw has put some vents in his bonnet. He is pleased with his handiwork and has posted pictures here. Of course not everyone likes what he has done. Some people hate immaculate M3s! Horses for courses etc.

The Zone would be a boring place with no banter in the same way that it would be boring if it was filled with immaculate M3s or handcrafted bonnet modifications.
If it ain't broke, fix it till it is

Well at least the car above looks like something I'd expect to see drifting?!? (help I have no idea)

What engine are you running in the E30?

I like the bonnet vents in the E30 more than those in the Lexus. I do not, however, know what I'm talking about :D

I think your talking crap too Miss B'Bird. :D

Stevie just do yourself a favour and stick that cone filter on the inside of the engine bay and some fine mesh for the slits. Even better would be to run stock AFM! It will keep performance at the same level, there wont be a drop. You drive in stormforce rain with it sticking out like a limp willy and your asking for trouble!

pacerpete I wondered when you would crawl in, my good man. Alas, I think we are dealing with something our friends in the east would reject as not tipping the scales.

I reckon that Lexus painted up (apart from the front end) wouldn't look too bad? However, am not a fan of Lexus and not a fan of those HUGE spoilers....

Agree with Skip on the standard airbox thing as well, cone filter not doing you any favors there and plod won't be too impressed either....
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.
