**Updated** Ripper's latest "mod"
I've had this piece of stainless sitting around for a while, cut out, but I never got around to fitting it. Until now. Decided to actually do something this weekend. What does everyone think?
It's not really a cold air box or anything, just something shiny to cover up the crap in there. Pics

Hard to tell what's going on with the reflection. I thought you were selling your car?

I wish there was something to hide! Just something to make it look better than standard, another one of my hair brained schemes that turned out ok.

**New Mod**
I've been at it again, this time a little more practical mod. A multiple engine earth system. The idea behind this is to allow better current flow from your engine back to the negative of the battery, instead of just flowing through the one thin factory earthing lead.
It is the three green wires that you can see in the pics. ....and I do believe I'm the first person to solder a connection together using the kitchen gas stove cause my little iron wouldn't get hot enough to heat up the big connection Here pics 4-9

Neither, just a couple of dupli-colour paint you get from k-mart, hence why it is peeling off around the oil filler.
