I'd run some ducting from the grill into the filter tbh, that might drop temps a little. But a heat shield would definitely make a difference.

The issue I'd see with the heat shield is down to the unusual size of the ram air filter. The hole isnt central. Might be a custom job. It may be worth trying to route your own intake into the grill so it gets cooler air but that comes with the risk of getting wet.

I found that its water that makes it's way into the sills. I had it ages ago when I still had the car. I pulled a bung underneath and water just poured out of there.

To be honest, the 75 actually feels slightly slower above 70 compared to the 60. Again, because of gearing. I reckon a mapped 60 would be quicker than a mapped 75

Thought I did, deal was too good.

Unfortunately car is now sold, replaced with a 2017 up. Hopefully it ends up with someone on here with it going to auction. It's been a good ride over the last 22 months with the car. I'll get a Felicia pick up soon though.

I think it's differences in the steering column. There physically isn't the wiring there to do it. I suppose it could be done by a keen DIYer or a dealer for quite a bit of cash.

The wheel should be a direct fit. However, the controls won't work.

I hear the equivalent app for the VW up is compatible and a hell of a lot better. may be worth using that instead.

mine does it after a wash. appears to be the switch that senses the boot being closed

I know cylinder head and pistons are different for the lower compression and direct injection. What I was trying to get across was that the general dimensions of just the engine are the same

It's the same engine in terms of the block and head. I did hear some mutterings of there being modifications to the bulkhead to allow the turbo to fit but from what i've seen there's plenty of room. All the engine mounts are the same though.

they're light sensitive, so it works off a sensor i think. and if the car thinks it's too dark, bye bye dashboard illumination. I'm not sure if there's a bypass though

There we go, bit dirty but should be readable.

That's for just the driver and no luggage.

29 front, 26 rear

I'm looking to upgrade my speakers in the next week or so. Looking for diameters for fronts and rears, not too bothered about tweeters. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Never had a bad experience with Hortons. Staff are always friendly and helpful, service advisor even walked me to my car with an umbrella when it was raining.

Got a part number for that wheel? been after one for a while @CrisBora

I don't suppose if anyone knows if these can be retrofitted?

I'm assuming you're talking about these gauges. I believe that these are optional extra gauges which has the Maxidot MFD.

could be a bad top mount bearing. mine made that noise when i replaced my struts.

I was told that if you ran a wire off of one of the speakers (i was going to take from the rear) and then put that into amplifier/woofer. then adjust LPF accordingly

So I took a long and hard think about my car and I came to the conclusion that I may as well keep it for the foreseeable future. There's still so much I want to do before I part ways with it

So, the car is finally on it's new coilovers, it's also had new brakes and some much better brake pads. I also got a new set of rims to go along with everything. However this may be the final entry with me as the owner. Unfortunately, a bigger car is now a necessity for me now and it'll be sad to see it go.
