like you said, the box can be removed easily, and so can the CAI, of course its handy to have peter around offering to do it for me(the removing and refitting)

nice numbers on the tyre size. but did you consider G3 potenzas from bridgestone. have got them on my peted swift and the performance is brilliant. but dont know enough about yokohamas amd michelins to compare.

the tachometer is the only reason I got the VDI. do get one fixed, its great fun to watch the needle dance. also, you can optimise your driving style to the engine capabilities better with the tacho.
it also helps with extracting the best FE. tacho is a must.

have you listened to Song 2 by Blur? its the perfect soundtrack for a Swift Diesel.Wooohooo
