Your car is looking amazing thumbs up to you mate and let me know how the exhaust sounds as I'm very tempted now at buying a miltek

thank you buddy, yes I will do but I am waiting to save up for the rest of the exhaust then fit it all in one goo.

  

How much is it bumping up your insurance?

Looks like that Miltek is second had?

What size those Nakangs are, how much and where did you get them from?

 

Sorry for the barrage of questions lol

I was looking for those tyres but could not find the sizes and I want to do the exhaust as well but Miltek is a tad too dear...

bloody hell how many questions lol. It's not going on yet till I've got the rest of the exhaust plus my renewal is at the end of November/December so they will be told. Yeah the decat and downpipe is second hand but in excellent condition,was a steel the nankangs ns2 was from ebay new and come direct from the nankang warehouse/factory. There 205/40/17 and was only £151 delivered = £37.75 a tyre bargain. Also heard so good reports about them. Hope this helps.

Wow, it is a bargain on those tyres!!

they are not the nangkang track day tyres Jab just the standard cheap fare...

 

I used them before on my punto, and they were perfectly reasonable.

 

cars looking good Ant, cant wait for the engine mods

What would I do without you Dave! I indeed thought they were the track tyres!

You need the NS-2R's Jabo to have something similar to the Federal's usually best price is on Tyre leader..  I have the NS2's on the front of my Superb at the moment and they are acceptable and have a nice looking tread pattern, fine for the cost but not exceptional.

 

Ant - Fab work on the car, I think the Milltek will take the car forward a long way.  Is it remapped yet? (sorry if I missed it in the the thread) you may need a stage 2 map to clear the EML light from the extra flow of the 200 cell cat on the Milltek.

thank sparkly but the milltek is a decat just hope that it don't smoke like some of them have in the past. The car isn't mapped yet but looking into a custom map as the stage 2 ones out there available are like a generic map, which I don't want.

The car is in winter mode now, swapped the grill, mud flaps on and the wheels will be on next week. Also I will raise the suspension up a little hahahaha by the flick of a switch...

Went and got a air filter from eurocarparts with the offer they do. Went to change it has I don't think it's been done in the services. It was ready, went to swap them over and look inside the air box. OMG what a restrictive air box. Out come the air box to been modded. Took me about 20 minutes to do. Here are the pictures.

I used a dremel to cut the most of it out. Then a file to get it smooth. Cleaned out then wiped clean/dry and fitted new air filter. Free mod.

What ride height do you actually drive around with?

no bossfox that's outside the school with all the bags empty on zero. Ride height is set at a nice height and if I'm on my own I can drop it a little more.

Yeah but what was the need of this?? Like the air filter doesnt need that cutting out
