Did u fully de-restrict the airbox ? did u take the second pipe out or just the top one ? and does the k&n panel filter give any better performance and mpg ?
Thanks

well my box has only one pipe at the top. i literally carved a square out instead of holes. it sounds wicked, not much on performance mpg still the same.

I've just fitted the Hawk remote central locking. the easiest job every and such a difference. a tip is to have someone there to help out also best to take out glovebox head unit and heater console and scuttle pannel for wiring sake. and dont put the box next to the ecu as the wires to the battery are way too short. and will only reach through the passenger side.

They're all the same. I'd recommend the Spal kit from USA but its expensive so I just got the cheapest new set off ebay.

Hello everyone, I'd just wanted to ask everyones if you could take your time to value my car, as I need to sell this vehicle due to debt climbing. I will sell this vehicle with a full tank and a full valet inside out. also will respray the alloys and drums/calipers. It's had a interim service last 2 months. got new tyres on and tax and MOT till may. I kno i'm in debt and i'll be providing the extea's but anything to attract customers. a realistic price would be greatful. I personally would like £750, but it'll be hard to get to that.

with the front grill, did you have to get a completely new front bumper? or did you cut out the old plastic strip and badge?
because i want to go for the same sort of look with the grill but dont know how to go about it.
cheers,
