thx for ur reply..
but im using feeler gauge that measurement only different of 5. eg.10, 15,20,25..
btw i been adjust it back to 15in 20ex, power had been better but not optimum especially low rpm <3000rpm.. n along with the sound..
so i guess its nt coming out from the tappet...
will test de car again later, probably may upload a video soon... very irritating to drive with the sound..

Hi, I actually completed this DIY 2 weeks back with some forummers n friends support. I used to have CAI but I figured i need to refresh and re-do it despite being itchy hands... :driver:

First, was the hardest to do, cut the tupperware on the side and under for the air filter and air funnel. Having it made to fit without proper measuring tool was a challenge. But good judging skills I might add....hehe. Noticed the yellow duck tape? it was giving way...so this was my solution...
