    Cai - Diy

    I have been sitting at my computer after a few ANZAC day rums (and maybe a beer or 2) and have decided that I am not going to pay ultra $$ for a Carbon CAI for my MKIV.

    I hereby declare I am going to make it out of.... PVC PIPE!

    Using my trade knowledge and industry contacts I propose to make a CAI for under $35.00 that is as functional as any other bought one.

    We will see how it looks/works when I get around to making it (most likely in a fortnight).

    Between now and then, chuck your ideas on how you think I should do it to me in this thread!

    Lest we forget! n:

    On a plumbing not, bunning is the most expensive place to buy pvc pipe. My local mitre 10 is half as much.

    Good luck with the construction Mik, keep us posted.

    A true performance mod is sometimes not the one that you take a photo of and place in a magazine!

    Haha that's awesome though.

    Bunnings seem to have overrun all other hardware stores. I used to see BBC and Mitre 10 here and there, but now all I see is Bunnings!
