Most scilencers are filled with it.
The scilencer consists of a tube with many many holes in it, and around that tube is all the sound deadening material.
I'd like to point out that the only thing getting me down with it at the moment is the leaking/knocking suspension and image. I'd like to detatch myself as much as possible from the "I've stripped my car and stuck it on coilovers, now I'm going to sell it" brigade.
I had mine a good year before you, but just couldn't drive it ;)
New coilovers should change its drivability, at the moment leaky shocks are ruining it. I used to go for random drives out to the peak district all the time, now I can't remember the last time I took the car out to "just drive".
Oh the beauty of hindsight :dapprove:
Bought the car outright, got a loan for the repairs. Bear in mind that 182s were £10k when I was looking at them.
Money will cease going into the car once I've sorted all 4 leaking coilovers.

LOL, I'd lose my job mate ;)
Well having been good friends with Addz for a while, I've been around both of his Minis, and they were/are truely awesome. I love supercharger whine, to the point where I'd pay good money for just the noise alone.
Oh no worries there, I'm not about to buy a Fiat 500 to save money.
Whatever I do, I'll be removing debt first. I'll probably end up waiting till my claim is settled and see what I can do.
Don't think I could break the Clio, been through so much with it. Means more than money to me really, but...
Feel as though I am. Been 3 years that I've had it now, turning 22 next week. Virtually all of my friends have just bought new cars in the last month. I'm getting bored(ish).
My boss was speaking to me earlier and said "it's a chavs car. A stupidly low, loud chavvy clio", and tbh I can see...
