    i never used the hair dryer

    i bought a nice small qood quality razor

    and one by one i went with the knife (extended a notch or two) and punched slits in every sealed cell in the centre to give me a bearing as to which cell i was working cutting from the back

    i cut from the back to minimalise slicing of the external part of the honey comb so i didnt manky it up! but as i was using the knife to cut the back out..

    i was following what the blade was doing which the external part of the honey comb facing myself! this way i could match cut angles and minimilise any tags etc that could make it look like sh*t!

    but when i was cutting from the back i only had a very slight bit of the craft knife notched out.. this meant i could change direction of the knife without to much trouble and curve it nicley to the honey comb shape..

    It takes hours but its fully fully worth it

    i did it one night when it was raining..

    I think I'll still get one of those air bypass valves when I get my cai tough.
    Ive got a Air Bypass Valve sitting in my Garage at home..

    not using it because i dont want to cut up my CAI..

    i just avoid puddles..

    and in the case i hit one.. ill turn the car off instantly any way

    avoiding puddles in Auckland, good luck
    I remember each time it rained (and it raines hard over there) this lake would appear on Tamaki drive (towards Mission Bay, next to the mini golf course) about half a wheel deep and all over the road. It was fun speeding through it but i didnt have a CAI on my car back then.
    I miss that city...

    I was in Sydney on Business three weeks ago now

    it was pissing down worse than auckland

    only thing i really liked about sydney was the cool night clubs and the hot ethnic chicks actually just the hot chicks in general!

    i still wouldnt trade auckland for anything..

    Aucklands a dump but it really grows on you
