I have some cams on order with them at the moment. They are billet cams and are currently being made. They are about £700 inc VAT and delivery I think but then i'm getting them fitted for cheap. It's well over a grand to have them fitted with AWT/GDI.
Used this for the first time today on my alloys and I was extremely impressed with it. Got the alloys looking like brand new. Spent about 10 minutes on each wheel. Gonna wax them 2moro so it will be easier next time but very impressed and would recommend this to anyone with brake dust...

Anyone got these on their beast? If so, what do you think?
Are the EAGLE F1's really that much better to spend the extra cash? Roughly how much more are the EAGLES.
I tried using some goodmans sat nav my dad has that works in his audi and it didnt work at all to Cambridge,GDI in the Clio 172 Mk1. Do only certain sat nav's work in the Clio?
It's a lot of work for something that isn't really going to make that much difference. It's not like your going to see a 30+bhp increase with an open induction kit behind the headlight and a heat shield. If you're wanting looks, I don't often pop the bonnet and show it off in front of people...
Yes it's the one pictured above, Janspeed. This is what K-tec supplied me. 172 Mk1 silenced de-cat...
It's a real b*****d to fit this though. I started to do it myself then gave up and took it to a tire and exhaust centre. Its nearly impossible to get around the back of where it bolts onto the...
I thought the stock twin cats on the 172 Mk1 had eaten away a few hp and it felt more responsive, especially around 5-6k rev's. I would say it's definately worth putting one on.
Got one fitted to mine and it sounds fine. Originally put it on with stock exhaust before upgrading to S/S and didnt make much of a difference to the sound. The one on k-tec is silenced....
Very little gains if any at all on a standard engine. You need further mod's to benefit from a better induction kit. It will make the car sound better...that's about it.
Why would you need a full re-spray with stone chips and scuffs? These can easily be done by any good body shop. Feather edge repair. If they need to re-spray the bonnet they will but I would only have a whole re-spray if I wanted to change the colour or someone had thrown brake fluid or thinners...
From what I can hear it sounds ok although it was a bit louder and deeper than I expected even though it's silenced but has a de-cat on it. I wanted a raspy sound a bit more like this...

Would you describe that as a raspy sound? Do...
Can powerflow usually tweek/adjust the sound of an exhaust or would they need to completely replace a middle box for example?
I've had my exhaust done and it sounds class although when i've had people sitting in the back they have commented it's rather boomy to their ears...
