Ta. Actually, the pictures aren't that great. The lens gets dirty very quickly. I often find myself ignoring the camera in favour of the mirrors.

It's mostly standard except for the Injen induction ...

Last weekend, the Injen system, managed to suck up the hydro sock through the inlet tube all, the way up to start of the throttle body, jamming the throttle. Scary stuff. I still have no idea how it happened.

For safety reasons, drivers should not operate the device while driving and should always follow actual traffic regulations. That's what your screen says in Japanese

That's crap to hear. It needs the hydro sock because the intake is into the passenger side, so would see more puddles than a driver side intake like the Lude has?

Have you been able to refit it all ok?

Thanks @Andyjess666 I asked a Honda main dealer to quote for fitting UK spec console. "Oh no, sir, we don't work on cars that old." Hah! It's the first vehicle I've owned that was built in a year beginning with a "2".

Yes, @vanzep My lad was driving at the time. We've both had occasions where the throttle has stuck open and knew to switch off without turning the key as far as the steering lock, so there was a lot less drama than there might have been. I've got an OEM intake and will fit that soon. I can't imagine I'll lose anything in the driving experience apart from having a quieter car.

@wurlycorner The sock's just a bag that fits over the filter. I still can't work out how it was sucked in through the filter and into the air intake duct.
