    Z18XE? Oil filter wrench and a T45 trox bit is all you need.

    Yes the T45 is for the sump plug. Did you get an O ring for the sump plug? I have done the airbox mod but tbh I doubt there was any improvement.

    Just go to Vx, even retail for an oil filter is only about £4, O ring about 30p. There is a piece of plastic on the bottom of the air box that pulls out, some say it allows more air in, or a better spread of air around the inside of the box.

    Just found the how to on the Air box mod looks really easy to do tbh,and can be easily put back to normal which is good.
    Does it make any difference in sound?
    Coz remember my mate doing it on his corsa and it made a deep bass tone as he accelerated.
