looks nice, does your inductionj kit have a caf or is it just sucking in air in the engine bay ?

noice the black and white works really well.
how you finding the pipercross viper kit? when i had mine i found that when the revs where up from 4/5k ish it sounded nice but under that it was flat sounding and i also though that it made mine feel more sluggish?
what are your views on the pure motorsport top mounts?

Hey dude.
The viper sounds epic when your in the top of the rev range but like you said it is a bit flat . I wouldnt knownany diffrence in performance wise as it came with the car .
As for the top mounts mate the best mod i have done mate transformed the feel of the car even made
My floaty gaz coilovers feel a little bit more aggressive . I wish i gOt the strut brace aswell but il be purchasing that in the new year .
Cheers for looking dude

Nice, I do like this
What's your opinions on the gaz coilovers dan? Good to hear about the top mounts. Like you im going to wait till new year and hopefully make some nice changes to the car. Definitely getting the top mounts, and I did see the strut brace also but is it like the rear where it doesn't really do much?

Cheer mate umm no the strut brace isnt like the others around this one does make a diffrence so im
Told . As for the gaz coilies most people slate them
On here but i cant see a problem with them i think the reliability on them isnt to good as ive seen people needing refurbs after 5,000 miles but obviously thats down to how hard you thrash your car etc, but a full refurb for them
Is under 150 pounds and they will come back brand new . Also have a good adjustable damping system alot of settings to tweek with . But overall dude i dont see a problem with them.

I must admit I went out in a clio with gaz's in recently and I was pleasantly surprised on how comfy they were. Yes they are slated on here but I've been in a few cars that have them too and never found a problem. Like you said they have adjustable damping and brand new the price is very good (£540ish iirc) like you said it all comes down to how hard you drive, but as its my daily it won't getting thrashed about all the time round track do I don't see the problem.
Well like I said the top mounts will be in order for sure, but will have to read up on the strut brace I think. Even if it does bugger all, it does look good lol

Ye they are well priced ! Fred at btm told me the strut brace was a good addition to the solid top mount set up . I still need a proper geo set up to get the handling spot
On ! And some decent tyres . Thinking about paradas but i had them
On my vts and they wer rubbish in the rain . We shall see in the new year got to get the car ready fornshow season
