really loving the vid mate and the exhaust sounds the part. Still haven't got mine on, won't be for a few weeks yet

Have you noticed any increase in bhp with the exhaust and filter? Been searching for a while now to see what is the most we can actually get out of our motors but haven't seen anything over 120 bhp.

I haven't had it on the dyno since the open filter and exhaust, but once I do I'll post results. Mine pulled 102.8hp standard so I have a comparison. I'd like to see 115-120 after a remap.
The most I've seen from a 1.4 100hp is 180hp, but that is the Eaton 'charged Lupo... Im looking to do this as part of my degree

So it'll be fine with 60mm front and back then? Thinking about getting the same coily kit as Damoegan

Without a comparative measure, I couldn't tell you how low it is. Tell you what, Measure from floor to wheel arches (front and back) and I'll measure mine too

60mm will be fine mate! Do it

It wil make a bit of difference if your car is pointin down hill your back end wil look lower if its pointin up hill the back end will look higher.

Just measured mine

front bang on 57.00cm
rears on 58.07cm

think il have to lower mine abit more now and remove the cups from the rear

 

[bertrum]

Hmm, not sure what's going on there lol
Just had a quick measure of mine, 58.5cm front, 57cm rear - this is how I've done it, if it helps...

At this rate adam, we'll have no threads left!

Just a little update;

Some presents arrived in the post today... Complete brake set-up from a Fabia Vrs Along with the new hubs that I need to change the calipers. They've done ~45k so look a bit tired at the mo, but a good clean and maybe a power coat and they'll look sweet

Pictures to come!

 

[BigWill]

Picture's not working for some reason matey?

 

[bertrum]

Refresh mate, I had the figures the wrong way round lol

 

[BigWill]

Ah 'tis working now, yeah I did it the same way, could it be because I'm rolling on 14" stocks

 

[Clone]

Hey mate, could you mesure mine like that as i've just done mine from eye lol think all 4 adjusters are different...

Picture is working fine for me

I didn't measure it on the computer lol, I went out and measured it, image was to show where I had measured!!

would be a damn nifty program that could manage doing that!

Funnily enough, I think I could do it with AutoCAD... but not right now!

Will, you were going to give me some subwoofer advice after I put a hole in my current one

Currently running;
HU - Kenwood KDC W6541U
AMP - Lanzar MXA 232 - 1000W @4ohm (bridged)
CAP - 1farad
WIRING - 4 gauge I think, seems to be running fine (no light dimming etc)

 

[BigWill]

is that 1000Wrms or max?
if so get a Fi Q 15" in a 4.9cuft box tuned from 27-30hz, that'll knock you're head off!!
but if you don't want to lose your boot, a Fi Q 12" in 2.5-3.0cuft will still be amazing!


I couldn't rate Fi subs any better than I do now, can get so much out of them with the power you give them it's astonashing!

also, lose the power cap, it just puts an extra strain on the alternator, instead, just upgrade the big3 cables under the bonnet, and with 1000wrms you'll have no worries then!

1000W max mate lol and I'd like the keep it 12" and try and re-use my current box (not sure on the measurements right now)

 

[BigWill]

right if it's max i'd suggest either a Fi SSD (800wrms), or an Ascendant Audio arsenal (500wrms)
AA and Fi are pretty much the same company
link to the AA arsenal http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/ascendant-audio-arsenal-p-6710.html (is this the sort of price you're looking at?)
both subs are great for both SQ and SPL
