yeah my car needs a tune up, the clutch is playin a little, and its missin some front trim, if u guys didnt spot it, and i need a new front tow cover cus mine was a little loose, and when i parked the car in sale it was there, when i came back, it wasnt!!! it runs aiight but a tune wuld b nice, im also re-modifiing the air intake, nuthin to do with computa, just a longer pipe to up intake str8 from near the grill, also thinking bout placing heat proofing foil near on the left side of the exaust (left side, facing the engine bay) to stop less hot air from being sucked into the intake, considering it has a pod filter on it, filter also needs changing, lol well, il think bout a meet when iv had it tuned

Yeah thats cool man. We will have to do it though.  When you chnaged your air filter to a pod, What did you have to do? Did you just take the airbox out and replace it with the pod? I tried that with my Cally but every now and then the car would just turn itself off with it on, so i went back to my airbox.

Don't know why they don't run good with them. Might be just my car, I will be looking at gettin a K&N Filter for my airbox and also fitting an air intake tube to it. My car goes in for a tune on the 13th so it should be running pretty sweet when i get it back.

in stock position all the pod does is suck in hot air from motor. Result is it runs like crap or not at all.. Stalls at lights etc...

yeah thats exactly what was happening to it, it sh*t me up the wall. Put the airbox back on and it runs fine. What you running in your calib? pod or panel filter?

Yeah thats proably the best way to go, especially if the engine plays up abit with the pod on, Will you be running a cold air intake to the airbox?
