Andy's 540 V8 with carbon Intake and other mods

[mysticm3]

Andy turned up today to pick up his de-chromed grilles but I had more ideas for his new pride and joy: :D

Probably the 1st in this country, a 540 V8 with SSDD carbon fibre intake - boy can that V8 beast sing!:

Looking Sweet!

Mine wasnt SSDD but I did have one on mine briefly... Actually had problems with warm air though, dont know if Andy will have the same problem (although they do sound soooo sweet!)

big thanks to teddy of SSDD Motorsport for the hookup. trust me guys, the drive home from teddys place was the best drive i've had in the beast, i did have to drive pretty fast as i was dropping a friend off to heathrow and was running a bit late!! the induction noise was insane!! more to follow so watch this space!

[phat///M3]

[Gee]

Andy,

Looking at the pics I think you've convinced me that ditching the chrome grilles in favour for black is the right choice :D .

Have you got the corner splitters fitted yet?

[Icecold]

yep, just finished them. will post the pics in a sec

[pete]

looking good andy!

[Icecold]

[Chaos]

There goes the fuel consumption :D

[churchwa]

Andy,

Car looks great.

Try this little windows power toy from Microsoft to help you resize. It is brilliant.

Click Here (http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe)

Install it and then just right click on the image you want to resize, it is that simple.

I posted it here beofre and people loved it.

PS i know what you have planned for the car, it will be sick. Good on you Bro.

[girlpower]

you have been busy...looking good!! :D

[Raj]

[mysticm3]

Andy, where'd ya get ya flippers? I'm still waiting on Teddy to make up his mind what he's doing with the set he posted about the other day!
andy was pushy mate so he took the sets off me straight away! After he post some pics up I'll gauge some interests and go from there...

[donut]

Ah fair enough!

[Nickleback]

Nice one Andy, bet that induction roar is :D

Teddy, those 2nd gen's are so much brighter than the originals I've got, what changed, the power rating? [bang
