Took delivery of my ram air intake system yesterday. Top marks to A/O Engineering for service. The intake was part of my Ecklers order placed before I left the UK which should have arrived Monday (minus the air intake as they were out of stock for at least 2 weeks), still no sign of delivery of the rest of my order from Ecklers despite lots of chasding.

A/O shipped the part to me on a next day the same day I called and it looks good. They also included an additional part with a ZR1 logo embossed on it so that should look good once it is all painted.

I've got the Hurricane Intake system, that has the big box intake, but gotta be honest, didnt really notice any increase in power

Yeah Cliff, its the one that fits where the number plate should go. As for power, I asked around on ZR1 net and had some good feed back. It will sound good as well so I've been told. I know Geoff has the opening on his but not sure if it is connected to the airbox.

The gathering is in a couple of weeks, look forwards to your speech Geoff !

I fly back later today, so I should see you at the Fairmile, will you be there Cliff ??
