After fitting my rear subs and amp its got me thinking about what else i can do. My front speakers are standard and I was wondering what a decent upgrade for the front would be, in addition can you get front amps? wouldnt they be alot of bulk in the front? I also want to get some sound...

hate to rub it in but it sounds like they dont know what they are doing, my gfs head gasket went and she took it to someone in gilberdyke (not far from hull), she got the car back next day and timing belt changed at the same time for under £400.

I had a friend who sold his purely due to the petrol usage, he said it was amazingly fun, would slide out easy, he had a few flooding issues too, hes got an TD Audi A4 now :/

The great thing about speakers is the lack of current that travels through the wire, meaning you can play with it while its on, if you dont want to cut the connecter of the car just cut the connecter of the speakers and tape in the holes as said above, you cant really mess it up well i probably...

cheers :) thats why i want to change it, I'm not a big fan, but it cost me a few quid and make the car sound a little deeper

I was thinking just a beather filter, catch can could look good though

bet she drives a pink corsa

simple cut twist and tape?

I got myself a cheap air filter and it actually sounds great, but now am gathering funds and want to smarten it up, are there any various enclosed indution kits? and a strut brace Currently my air filter is around the same size as the engine haha

:)

looks like it, but it cant be, otherwise theyde have put a better head on!

Re: Shell Nitro+ I know! The most annoying thing is that the girlfriends car is near 100bhp :( its also a ford so meh lol

"available in 3 door or 5 door hatch" <-- clearly copied and pasted lol

Re: Shell Nitro+ lol yep just a humble 1.2, used to have a Saxo VTS which was around 25mpg and it burnt my wallet! hence the 1.2, I do miss the 50extra horses though lol

I work with couriers like TNT and DHL, they dont care about weights, we see packs weighing 10kgs which say 2kg on the label, its only when it goes above 20kgs they have a check lol

Cable ties are your friend haha, seriously they are. I had a twin exhaust on my old 106, used cable ties to sqeeze the rubbers tight and lift it slightly

Shell Nitro+ Has anyone else given this fuel a test run? I am amazed by it really, I usually get 37mpg when doing hard driving and 42mpg when driving a little softer, I usually use premium unleaded every once so often anyway so I wasnt expecting much from it but after putting £30 worth in I...

Sorted it, it was the ignition fuse (somehow :s)

mine just pull out, flat screwdriver slightly underneith, dont pull more than you feel necessary, actually i could be thinking of the side ones :S

Morning, Went out today to do the last bit of wireing up for the rear speakers amp and subs, done it many times before so I know what im doing, wired everything up including earthing and the remote wires, turned ignition and nothing from them, not quite sure whats wrong, everything looked fine...

cheers guys! I think the misses is against me painting my wheels as she said itll ruin the car :/

Ive done it :) the gromit going from the engine to the inside is insanely tight and very thick!! used a screw and screwdriver to make a clean hole then gradually got bigger untill it was able to get the cable through but still be tight, very nicely done too, what a pain in the backside! layed...

Nice, in that case I think ill test on the spare and if it comes out okay ill replace them one by one :) now to choose a colour :/ cheers for all your help

would primer not work on them then? they must be powder coated?

Im on a tight budget but want to do something to stand out a little, my question is can you paint steel wheels the same as you would alloys? dont get me wrong as per the title im not a noob, ive painted cars and wheels before but never standard steels, hmm

Moring, Its been a while! Im sure this has probably been covered before but i cant seem to find anything. I have come to fit my old sound system into the clio, the headunit replacement went perfectly (after a bit of soldering) however ive now come to fit the amp and rear setup but I cant get...

ahhh! apparently there is a slight lip on the disk, could that be the cause of the squeak?? The car is near perfection! I love it :)

Went out to the car the day after, had a look underneith and pushed what I believe to be the heatshield back up, it click into place.. got the car started and warmed up and no sound, so hoping it was just that, although, problem number 2 my brakes now squeek! really annoying around town lol, any...

ill give that a try tomorrow, if it is its off back to the garage as its under warranty still, I may not be mechanically orientated but I know an exhaust is hot after running lol :clown:

more of a knocking than a metallic sound, it quietens when going over 2k revs, but below its a bit noisey and bangs when on idle not moving, really wierd, I cant fully explain except the sound of someone hitting the bottom of the car with a plank of wood really fast really hard
