My insurance company only wanted to raise my yearly figure by £100 for a supercharger conversion, and even then I feel I could have bartered a bit and got it even cheaper!
I was very surprised to say the least
I love watching these little mean machines, they take me back to my youth as my dad had one while I was growing up... And I seem to remember it being rather nippy :)
What engine do the track variants run? A newer rover vvti block?
Typical Ken Block CS bashing in here tbh, quite sad.
I'm sure half of you think you would "have him in the twisities" in your 1*2.
It's good to see he's ok :)

I'm up for this but no way is Coventry/Milton the middle of the country! Its the middle of the south...many people journey'ing from up north?
Gotta be honest Chris mate, I'm not sure. I've looked at it long and hard a few time and all I can come up with is... It does look very good with the lows and new wheels, but I think it might have looked better standard.
Tbf you have both so it's win win, and changing between setups depending...
Well the "less than £300" failed miserably, why have I got to be so impulsive!
£500 later with more and better equipment than I was intending on buying and my install should be sounding sweet in a couple of weeks.
Front door speakers, new amp, top grade wiring, fibreglass kit for the spare...
Autostitch can be very good fun, I've taken some nice photos using that- it's just displaying them which is difficult... iPhone screen is too small to really appreciate em.
C2-600 JL Audios are looking like a good choice to me, or can the doorcards have the C2-650 6.5" versions fitted without butchering the door. I assume one of my amps will be sufficient to run the components as with dynamat + fitting im already + £300 and can't really afford one!
I might go for...
Nah I want it to sound good more than loud, been through the door rattling loadsa speakers and bass phase back when I was 17! Hence asking advice and checking from many sources before I spend the pennies.
They are MTX amps I think, used to run em bridged with two subs in the boot of an old car...
Not about ruining performance buddy, my hefty frame does that! Rear of the car sits low, I avoid carrying ANY weight in the back as it causes rubbage.
It appears that taking the subs out their current boxes and fitting them neatly in the boot may be an idea, that's something I can manage...
My HU im planning on fitting has a removeable fascia, a USB input and IPod hardwired in (which is the option I'll be taking)
Sub in the boot is an option, wanted to avoid the clutter/weight tbh and i thought there might have been a better option out there through a good combination of...
I already have 2x400watt amps in the loft and a pair of 10" subs in boxes which I could get DIY with and fit in the side of the boot I guess.
Why is the headunit in the glovebox a bad idea? Its just for security really as badges etc are constantly getting pinched off my car.
