I am a keep-it-factory-stock guy. If not for tbhp, I would not have even got the alloys. Going the K&N way is itself a big deal for me. Also while the stock K&N is just an open-replace-shut job, I guess the conical filter needs some modifications which I do not like doing. As Samurai said somewhere, I do not like doing mods that I do not understand. Anyway, will try to search the forum to see the advantages.

Hmmm. Makes me think. But then after having invested in 13" alloys only recently, I guess I will have to stick with them.

Not really. Though I do not really drive in town in 5th at 25kmph, it has happened rarely and believe me there is no knocking whatsoever. Anyway will try it out again today and see.

My mistake. It was on 25th (it was Good Friday) that I got the car from the dealer.

Strange coincidence in the number of kms logged over the same period.

Well, those were free services - so no labour charges. Yet to do a paid service - so do not have figures for the same.
