ok cheers danny, i think my mate said he'd had it chipped, can you still remap it? would be nice to try out angel tuning, just a bastard getting there! what induction kit does the 1.6 use by K&N?

 

[Wiggy]

custom jobbie best way forward for the 1.6 get tom to let you have a peek at his beast. you be able to get that but mabye some silicone hoses instead.

 

[Sparkey]

K&N do one but apparently its **** so ill just get tommo to let me hve a sneaky peak!

re

i used to have K&N on my 1.6 and was ok for 40 quid or whatever it cost me at a show?

if not just measure the pipe and get any one that will fit! i dont thin it'll make much difference on a 1.6 anyway.

Re: re

fair enough, might just have to nip down to focus an buy some piping! tom if you read this, you got any pics of your induction kit?!

Re: re

im more after noise then anything, because im gunna get a supersprint back box so it should sound grunty from the back, just want a bit more umph fro the front! any ideas anyone?!

noise!

simply removing the hose that connects the filter box to the fixed thing (dont know what its called) under the bonnet that takes air to the filter, makes quite a nice growly rumbly noise....especially down narrow streets at night
read this in a thread a week or so ago

Re: noise!

While you are there you might as well drill some holes in the airbox, remove the filter (it just gets clogged up anyway) and fit a big bit of pipe instead of an exhaust.

Re: noise!

LOL.

Re: noise!

Tom, great low budget mods you mention there, but will they all together guarantee an increase of 60-80 extra bhp, or do they have to be accompanied by a Kenwood sun strip?!?

 

[wiggy]

Re: noise!

It has to have the stickerz down the side as well

 

[Tom]

Re: noise!

You need a 12" motorsport sunstrip

Re: noise!

Grrrr... ffs boys you forgot the go faster stripes!

Re: noise!

On some cars they actually look cool. is this the first sign of madness?

 

[Sparkey]

Re: noise!

Re: noise!

i got a k&n 57i on my 1.6 16v. Makes a nice sound difference (altho not v loud)under hard acceleration and fits nicely. obviously no power difference but worth it for the sound and reasonable price!!
