No way, The style of driving changed after the ben collins incident. Whoever the last stig was was probably a WRC driver. Thats been my guess.
Also, i DOUBT this will be the end of the trio. Theres already talks with Sky for them to go to. Possibly not even be a car show.

They will all be back on TV soon.
Netflix has a big offer in the ring for the trio as well.

In other news, I recently bought a set of LM's and I had to change something with the faces, im reusing the factory bolts and im not sure how much old locktite is acceptable within the threads. I tried everything to get the old stuff off but theres nothing thats going to get it out of there.
I did read somewhere that it was fine to have a bit of old locktite within the thread valleys as long as you used locktite again when you reuse said bolt.

"built" an intake.
by that I mean I stuck a pipe and a filter on my throttle body. Don't know why people pay $300 for something like this.

That's retarded.
On the Volvo it would be the same story if you didn't accomdoate for the MAF. I built a super budgety intake for that car which was made out of an old Blitz filter for an Evo, some sheetmetal, screws and silicone sealant. It worked but didn't really change much.
On the Mk5 it sounds fuckin' rad, at WOT it grows like hell but it's still sedate at part throttle.

I got it for the plate frame
Ya, it's pretty crazy. If you buy a AEM intake and tune for a COBB intake it'll throw your car into limp mode as well. Have to run the correct program for each intake.
Haha

Because some companies properly engineer their intakes so that the air flow is not restricting nor hindering performance, but no company (probably) does that for the mkv.
There's much more in an intake system than you think.

People dont understand when I tell them they are probably loosing HP when they stick those "filter on a stick" intakes on their cars.
The engine was designed with the OEM intake in mind, when you start changing shit that's not properly engineered who knows what you're doing.
