    Just a RICA chip and i bought a cone filter the other day (yet to fit)... I really am afraid to mess with it too much as it's my only car... Plus i have no idea how you can improve an auto... Not much i should think, cos of the auto box.
    put it on will only take 15 mins, if you really wanna hear the filter sucking in all that air, take out the engine insulation from under the bonnet, it makes no difference to actual engine noise, but you can hear the turbo much clearer

    I have been thinking about this.... will the heat from the engine not damage the paintwork on the bonnet?

    I'll help you fit it buddy it's unbelievably easy! I've yet to fit the blanking plate but I'll let you know when I do and how easy/how many scraped knuckles you'll get! The sound really is bloody amazing, think I might have scared a few people walking along the pavements around here haha!

    Thanks mate, I have been looking at your vids before.... I liked the way you put your cone inside the old box, that way you dont mess with the MAF sensor. Clever idea. I'm trying to do the same.... Then if i like it and i am brave enough i want to progress to something like Frankie's. How good it would sound on an auto though i have no idea. I want to be like the "BIG" boys on here and add a little "bling" but messing with the MAF sensor worries me!

    Ali Bongo has an auto and he really likes it with the cone filter.
