Takes a while to come as it's from America, my first one was slightly damaged but hopefully this one will be good.
It's not his fault it's the packaging, he just sends it as he has it.

Author: JamieM, Posted: Thu May 26, 2011 3:47 am ---- [SIZE=45]Update the kit arrived[/SIZE], it's currently fitted using the stock bend & oil breather whilst I work out how to remove the bottom part of the air filter system, it's overly complicated on the 180's IMO.
Anyway I have no pics of it fitted but maybe later I'll try and get a vid up!
It sounds REALLY beefy, sounds lounder than my old one but I think it might be down to the fact the airfeed isn't fitted yet.
Also the carbon is MATTE not been laqured unsure why, but it looks good still.
PIC lol
Comments welcome
Jamie

#98: Re: JamieM's Bleu Recife' GTI 180 ~ SONIC - 26/05 Simota... Author: JamieM, Posted: Thu May 26, 2011 12:59 pm ---- Lol no they looked tacky, but I guess we are all entitled to our opinions.

#103: Re: JamieM's Bleu Recife' GTI 180 ~ SONIC - 26/05 Simota... Author: JamieM, Posted: Mon May 30, 2011 10:43 am ---- Hahaha something like that! She drives it and has a bit of a lead foot : ) so the extra noise/throttle response is appreciated lol
#104: Re: JamieM's Bleu Recife' GTI 180 ~ SONIC - 26/05 Simota... Author: JamieM, Posted: Wed Jun 01, 2011 2:25 am ---- I'm happy to say that the induction kit has made a HUGE improvement over the stock filter. It's definitely not placebo effect! it felt like it was being suffocated before really flat power delivery now it has a punch to it and feels like it wants to go!
Sooooooo happy for £120.
Seriously though, unsure about actual power gains unless I got a before & after RR but for the actual driving experience it's made SUCH a difference it revs so freely now, I also cleaned the throttle body too actually loving it now sounds like it's on Roidz pops a little more too lol
#105: Re: JamieM's Bleu Recife' GTI 180 ~ SONIC - 26/05 Simota... Author: JamieM, Posted: Sat Jun 04, 2011 5:05 pm ---- So today I cleaned and had the Simota fitted properly, bad news on the wind deflectors one of them arrived snapped
Heres some pics of the car with the kit fitted & cleaned, it's had a good old clean no machine correction though.
The usuals but no machine or clay.
SLR pics at a later date cba to go downstairs and get it out of the car to upload haha
