A blank Canvis!

[Gary_B]

Right, so i've just bought my frist car as some of you already know.

Is a Mk1 1.2. Pics of it here.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9861&item=20003049 1314

I have got my own ideas for it, but some insperation for you guys would be great, since you all seem to know what your talking about.

As I said its pretty much a blank canvis, so what do you think I can do with it, without 'chaving it up'. Can an induction kit be fitted, would it be worth fitting an induction kit? What exhaust should i fit? Wheels? Lower? etc....

Im just looking to see what it possible, to make it look class and not like something out of Close Encounters :quiet:

And obv wont be able to do everything at once so where shall I start...

Cheers guys

Gary

anyone

Dont get silly loud exhaust, or mahoosive wheels and you cant go wrong.

 

[Gary_B]

Is it possible or worth looking into fitting an induction kit?

 

[Graham Gooch]

Are you ten years old

forget it, lol its a mk1 1.2 hence an induction kit is a waste of time. Spend money on brakes and suspension thats it

mk2 172 wheels in silver, lowered, cat back, maybe a panel filter.. dont go overboard as you will never see the money again

 

[Gary_B]

okay, 15" wheels and lower 55mm ? Or is that a daft question also ?

 

[DynamiqueDebz]

Yeah put a nice set of 15's on and lower it, maybe 30-40mm ?

 

[kpowell911]

dont do a me, just leave it standard, save your money and build your NCB

 

[cat171]

For the best results keep it simple, set of 15's bit of lowering, if you have to get an exhaust for it, i'd say get a subtle one (not one that wakes every one up)

 

[Gary_B]

Any exhaust recommendations? As you might be able to tell this is all new to me so a point in the right direction is welcome

 

[kpowell911]

id just get a powerflow TBH

 

[Gary_B]

Cheers, whats the deal with fitting a decat, Ive been adivsed that im might want to think about fitting a decat, wont it cause problems with my MOT?

it's canvas

 

[black kro]

do nothing!

Set up standing order (£150 p.m.) in a Cash ISA and move on in 2 yrs with NCB intact and nearly 4K in your back pocket (nice 172 & keep your 150 a month going for insurance etc)

[Matteh]

ah, few subtle mods

lower it a bit, get some 15s and maybe a nice exhaust

and get that black shined up! will look nice
