I once drove round the block with just the manifold on, made me jump when i started the thing, was just a tad bit loud ;)
You'll be fine with no backbox, probably be about the same loudness as a straight thru system.
That was me, i was parked out of the way lol.
Yeah its a Williams, just black Williams stickers didnt quite work as planned lol.
Arj256 is my initials and how much ram i had in my comp back in the day, least its never used on forums lol.
Judging how they have designed the mk1 ones, i wouldnt bother. when the top mounts dont spin on the bearings they must of gotten something wrong.
The dampening on mine is terrible now. So it dont look like they last long either.
the power steering pump is very noisy! big job? expensive to replace?
Can be its a common trait for them to be noisey, can try bleeding them and see if that quietens it up. There are also treatments which can make it quieter, if not can get a new pump, but i think there quite a pain to change...
Was a good day, i enjoyed myself, cheers Tucks.
Be deffo up for another if i can get my name on the list early on this time ;)
Happy with my time, but my shocks are very much past there best. Bouncing up and down and making funny noises :S
Good to see the old times, forgot what i did last...
We know whos cars are going to be all rusty in a few years time then ;)
Dont take long for a bucket, and a dull looking car doesnt give much reward.
Its like buying a house and not decorating it, it does its job, its not going to fall down without a fresh coat of paint, but you do it.
Yeah i have had a simular thing, good idea in theory when it works, but this time round it hasnt quite worked out.
Dont think i will be with them next year if i get offered a silly setup like that, to much hassle for a online based tarrif.
Yeah its the early valvers which have oil coolers, mine had one.
Running cool, just make sure its been well serviced, the rad is in healty condition and not blocked, new coolant make sure the thermostat is working well etc, and it should run pretty cool.
Looks good that! ;) Glad your happy with it.
The best induction kit imo would be:

If you want to get abit more of an induction roar, take the induction pipe out of...
You say that you have just gotten the 16v, has it been serviced recently? the usual service items can make it quite abit quicker if it hasnt been done before.
Might be worth doing that first.
If not i would say the williams lump as its the simplist of the conversions on offer, and you can feel...
For some big brake kits you get a spacer which brings the calpier out further from the standard mounting,
Kits which use this are the K-tec big brake conversion, which means you go from a 259 to a 285 disc.
Depending on what car you have will depend on what size disc you currently have.
