Back of the car looks really different to me as that Magnex filled that bumper hole completely. Bet it sounds much better now though!

I should go to the ring in my 1.4 would be fun to overtake some vts' hahaha

am going to be looking into taking to the ring next year

should come down in the pug..
let you take it for a drive round..
it looks soo diff at the back, is weird seeing that when the magnext used to sit ther..
sounds alot louder now is straight through, no more silencer

haha..
and nice and raspy, love it, cnt wait to get a 4-2-1 on

hard_corejoeboy · 8th July 2011, 22:38

Used to have a 4-2-1 on there sounded like a scooby with that on it was weird!

yea the magnex was a pretty deep noise, so can imagine..
you feel the difference in the revs? like how free they were?..
compared to the standard mani..
and you have the spoiler off at any point?
just wandering as will be taking off and spraying black

hard_corejoeboy · 8th July 2011, 22:48

I took the cams and mani off at the same time so there was a big difference

Never taken the spoiler off but it could look good in black did think about it but then thought the matte bumper colour would look weird against it from behind.

I wouldn't remove the spoiler completely though. They do do a job regardless of what people on here say. Take the audi TT for example or the koenigsegg for example of cars without spoilers that should have had.

Maniac_16v · 8th July 2011, 23:03

wuda carried on messing with it earlier with lee but weather was just awful..

yea had a quick peak at your thread, shame its a mk1

haha..
does look good tho mate..
and plans good too..
what you need to do to yours??

Yeah that sits beautifull the pipe looks lovely as they always do

. but it being that nice and tight fitted i suppose thats why you get the knocking

.

Yeah man i personally prefer the mk2 only for the condition of them but for a track car the mk1 in my eyes has such a meaner track look to them but love the mk2 equally and when i only paid 150 notes for the vts you cant complain

yea looks and sounds loads better imo.. I know whats causing the knocking so not too botherd aout it atm, no its not a major problem so is all good..
And yea mk1's do look alot meaner, yours defo does with the numberplate off. And bargain for that price

hard_corejoeboy · 9th July 2011, 18:18

Just don't get a corsica as i had one of them and didn't get on with it at all. Couldn't do tight turns very well as the buckets and the wheel stopped my arms putting it on full lock lol

Standard is best imo
