well was hoping to get a quote on the black vinyl today but couldnt find anywhere near me. i know empire tints do em but when they did my window tints on my old punto they started bubbling. so im trying to avoid them lol. maybe im not looking hard enough. anyone got any idea on how much it would cost?

cant you try it yourself ?

i bought some carbon fibre vinyl and have been covering interior parts in my car today,looks sweet

hmmm could do but a mate of mine got himself some black vinyl for his roof of his corser, but its started bubbling, which is probs him not keeping the roof clean and dust free when he put it on. but that kinda put me off doing it myself. i will see anyway lol

thinking of moving my induction kit to behind the battery. i know it needs cutting but i want opinions before i do it. is it a lot better there than going over the cam cover and to the front just behind the radiator fan. i know it will pick up a lot of cold air where it is now but when the cam cover gets warm its going to make the induction tubing warm isnt it. but when iv looked behind the battery it dont look like any cold air would feed to there.
so where is the best place. where it is now or behind the battery?

Behind the battery. You don't need to cut it. Should fit fine.

If you're worried about not enough cold air then make a DIY air feed

i did try it quick yesterday but was too long. probs just need to stick filter on more and pipe on the elbow pushed in more. but think it was about 2". cant remember lol.

Can try and do it at next meet if ya want. Just bring some cable ties and scissors

 

[mcjacko1987]

Re: Out with the old, in with the new (my punto mk2a progress thread)

right iv now moved the iduction kit. it looks like it would need cutting as the elbow is half blocked inside by the pipe and the cone is the same. its now behind the battery and i used the pipe off the standerd air box as a small cold air feed
got a journey to whitchurch tomorrow so will see if theres any improvements in mpg or even power. iv just ran the engine till mid temp anyways to see if the tube on induction kit gets warm or even my diy cold air feed and both stayed cool. i know things may be different on movement so soon as im in whitchurch tomorrow i will see if anythings warm.
