September 17, 2005: The hood is on.
My new filter showed up on Friday. It's HUGE. Still, a bit of careful cutting and I managed to make the hood fit over top. The filter protrudes fairly far and looks like it really means business. Now I can drive the car more. I've also fitted an idle switch so the car will idle better - but more importantly, I can tune the car better. It's fine at wide open throttle but part-throttle needs a lot of tweaking to get it right. Fair enough, we didn't bother with that on the dyno.

The front fender stays are currently covered with wet paint so they'll be final shortly. Now it's just a matter of looking at the windscreen. Just like the first time, it's taking me some time to get started on this. I know it'll be a quick job. I just have to DO something.
