Bump - K&N Fitttted

looks good apart from rusting the petty cap!!

What difference does the K&N make to the performance? Your car is pretty much the same as mine but i have a 1.2 engine in it.

I'm loving what you've done to it btw!

does the k&n you have make the car sound any better I'm thnking of getting a cherry bomb for mine but gonna need some sound from under the bonnet too if you know what i mean so where you get the K&n from and how much was it?

25th July:

all of today i spent my time spraying up my lights, waiting for them to dry, the newspaper got blown onto one of them so i had to remove all the paint and do it again

and I've never seen so many flies, KEPT landing on the lights, making the finish absolutely awful.

my grille and inner light are PROPERLY bodged all, all of the nuts/bolts were knackered =\.

i really like No grille and the 2 yellow lights, i think it looks amazing, but because my inner light doesn't work, it makes it look crap. i would get a single head-light grille but A. no money and B. i like my cold-air feed (I KNOW IT DOES NOTHING).

the wiring on the back of the lights are all messed up, i dont have side lights, i just have dipped and mainbeam, in which dipped only works on one light.

i don't know what to do.

i'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.

This is a real mixture of what i like and what i dont,its like you cant leave it alone and sometimes its a good thing but sometimes not. One thing for sure,its a topic of ideas and must surely divide opinion like no other.

Shame its lost the teardrops to a frumpy Loopoo but those black/taped steelies look great (GT ones would be better) and i liked the rusted petty cap with otherwise mint and unusual grey paint.

But I'm not feeling the spoiler,stance,illegal solid yellow lamps or odd air intake which is now doing bugger all since you no longer have an internally isolated air box.

Great thread :thumbsup:

Hello allll :).

finally got round to doing my springs with my dad today, and what a laugh -_-.

20 years worth of rust and shit, getting all the parts off and back on was a joke, we done this on my drive with lame tools.

the centre driveshaft nut was a JOKE, likewise with the anti-roll bar.

the suspension on a car is not designed to come off ><, its all just so awkward, but finally got it done, took it for a slight drive, but couldn't go that far cause its un-taxed, I'm not insured or licensed ><.

ignore the grille and the lights in the photos and the lack of rimtape on one wheel, just experimenting and stuff, and it will be all looking nice again soon :), again, not the greatest of photo's. i'll get some good ones soon :).

already, i love driving my car, even though probably drove it like a mile in all, there is no play on the clutch, lift it up an inch and it stalls, but i enjoy it :p.
