Ah. I had a feeling after looking at the username that the whole kindle thing was spam.

I'm going to buy a sheet of Ramair filter foam and use the OEM Honda one as a template - the Ramair is washable and reuseable :) - best bit it's only £4.99 on Ebay :o
it tastes like...Eagle!

Yeah, we got hammered with spammage this morning for some reason. It's all gone now though. :lol:

I know I saw all of it, not sure what they would achieve from it...
I reported a few through tapatalk but gave up as there was so many :lol:

:lol:

I need to have the report message send me an email to my phone... Hmm, I should go set that up... In the meantime, I usually check in here a couple of times a day, so spam shouldn't be up for that long. ;)

It's also available in the USA through Amazon, way cheaper than through Corsport: http://www.amazon.com/HA-1211-Honda-Per ... 104&sr=1-3
Love the mention, thanks. :D

If you guys offered them near the same cost, I'd be linking you. I'd much rather support small business than big, but if there's over a $15 difference in cost, I just can't justify that...

Here's the link to the product on Corsport's site, same thing at more cost, but you can buy from them to support small(er) business: http://www.corsportusa.com/store/catalo ... a37488630a

I still think I will get one when It's time to replace my paper filter. I plan on keeping the PCX for a while, and it will pay for itself over time. I also love having a washable air filter. Buy it once and done.

I'll also try to get some speed tests out of it. I recently downloaded a couple speedo apps, so i'll have to play around with them to see what all they can do. Which app do you use dave?

The only app I currently use to track speed and driving is DailyRoads Voyager. I may use it for the tests, since it provides both video of the acceleration and speed outputs. I might look into other options though, I haven't thought about it too much yet.

ah, dont have that one. Downloaded a couple free ones without video. I'll mess around with it and tell you guys which one I like most. I doubt I'll notice much speed difference at all... but there's the "big hill" on my way to work which is the test I'd be most interested in.

I got mine in on Friday. I haven't installed it yet, I've been sick with a cold. I'll have to install it this week to do comparisons. :)
