Hmm Interesting, my seals are in quite good shape and I used a small amount of rubber grease on them last time around. One of the biggest challenges is getting the airbox to sit nicely as the looms get in the way and try to push it up (at least on the LHD cars.)

Cool. Let's hope you don't get hit for import duties.
