    Better tell your insurance company you have modofied your brakes.

    Come to think of it, you better not as they might consider your car unroadworthy and dangerous.

    Im sure there will be some concern from the insurer when they ask exactly what you done and you reply, " I drilled some random holes into my disks" Crazy

    While you're at it, why not go for a "do-it-yourself" performance air-filter? Take the stock airbox, wrap some carbon-fibre sticker round the outside, then chuck the cartridge and replace with :

    Didn't someone actually make their own BMC style filter using a maltesers tub? Might have been another forum though.

    lol, no harm meant bud, just that the other post reminded me of your maltesers tub. ineffective induction mods are one thing, but braking should never be experimented with imo.
