Darlo_Nick OP My life on the forum Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 1,845 Darlo / Leeds	As i didnt have much to do this afternoon i thought i would take my airbox to bits, and contemplate adding a couple of strategically placed drill-holes! So off i went only to find this........ Airbox1 Airbox2 Needless to say, someone had got there before me! But i cant believe how crap a job has been done, and why drill the holes on the bottom and not the side?! It must surely have been done as some kind of joke/dare! I have covered up half the holes and gonna see if i can feel any difference later on......... Instagram : Nick16vt

Yea Carl it was me on your tail at the weekend! Was enjoying the drive behind you..... until we got stuck behind old people! I have done a some home-made repairs to the box, and am going to test them out on the way to my mates house tonight. TBH i might get a new standard box anyway, and drill the old one to death! and finally, i got the coop from autotrader, so the phantom driller is still at large! Instagram : Nick16vt

And there is a definite reduction in noise! Then again it is probably my overactive imagination, but i'm happy! Instagram : Nick16vt
