My 172 cup

[Stueylouey21]

I decided today was a nice day to finally fit my matched inlets and k&n panel filter also gave it a quick wash once I had finished wheels have also been changed from the horrendous ones that one on it when I brought it!! Still not what I want but much better in my opinion! :approve:

​pics are on ipad so not the best!

Looks nice but I think it needs to go a little lower to pull off those wheels.

+1 and silvervisions.

Did the inlets make any noticeable difference?

 

[Stueylouey21]

Yeah I agree with you both tbh, they are the best wheels I have atm due to budget! I would like to change them. However lowering it is next on my list again due to lack of funds it has to be springs instead of coilovers. Not really sure what to get tho? May be a stupid question but what are silvervisions?!

I fitted the inlets and the panel filter at the same time and defiantly noticed an improvement, don't get me wrong it's not given massive power gains but engine seems to run smother and feels much more responsive. I'm happy with it tbh

Not far off mine bud looks good (love the blue/white look). Think i got Eibach Springs on mine with 16's. Yours looks slightly higher but not by much at all

I got Raceland coilovers the other day for £100 on the marketplace. Ride quality is still pretty good and a decent improvement on handling. Truthfully I only got them to get closer to the ground. Maybe consider them if you want the same!

Very similar mate! I have to say I do like the blue and white together but I do think mine needs to go a little lower!

Ill have to keep looking and see what comes up for sale then mate, that's a good price for a set of coilovers. And yeah just want to fit some to get it looking a bit better and if it improves handling then that's even better lol but it deffo needs to be lower in my opinion!!

Depends how it drives. If you like the ride keep it the way it is bud. If you do lower tho be nice to see the look and what springs you went for
