fitted my K&N 57i before hardly used it yet and it already makes a sweet rasping noise when i stick my foot down apart from the nice sound, it hasnt made any difference, not that i expected any from a 1.3

I think the sounds worth it tho hun!

What zorst you got on it?

on cars under 1.6 and if it aint tuned to ur ecu u will loose mid range torque but the noise is defo worth it!!!

i havent
thats one of the things to do once ive got my alloys on

after a bit of MESSING about with my bank....im getting a new debit card in a week or so. ive decided to go for these alloys y'think they suit the car?

they look smart mate, the headlights look boss to

ive been wondering how much it'd cost to get a set of springs and dampers fitted to my car (fron and rear)
anyone got any idea on the fitting price?

well today ive just ordered a set of gmax springs and dampers to lower my car by about 40mm and a set of 16" Mille Miglia alloys.....wahey, i cant stop smiling now
it should all be fitted within the next week or so

yeah, no probs, will do.

these are my alloys by the way

looking good ben matey keep up the good work <img border="0" alt="[smokin]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions036.gif" />

they look swish mate what size tyres have u gone for?

my tyre size is a bit odd actually. im gonna get 195/40/16s.
the advantages of having these instead of 195/45/16s are:
*its got the same rolling circumference as the 14" ones ford supply it with.
*i wont need to change the gear ratios
*accelaration will still be pretty much the same (slow)
*they shouldnt rub on the arches

disadvantages are:
*only pirelli, dunlop and continental make them and they cost a fortune (90quid each)
*it'll beharsh ride -now that ive got my new springs and dampers (which lower it 40mm)

but apart from that....its all fun and games

i wont b e getting my alloys for a few weeks now
the guy said he'd have them in for me today....but he phoned and said a fornight

Ben, get the 45s mate, only difference you'll notice is that they'll be closer to the arches. You won't notice the loss in acceleration mate trust me. The difference in size between the 40s and the 45s will be just under 2cm in total height.

na mate im going for the 40s.....less rubber more style <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions049.gif" />
