  1. Drilled airbox and interesting results

    After reading some of the threads about drilled airboxes, and having enjoyed the sound (but not the the heat) of my Vectra's 57i kit, I thought I'd have a go at the Toledo's box. Removing it was easy, two screws and out it comes. After seeing where the filter came to on the lower box, I...

    Interesting........

    I have for a while now played down what people have said on this forum about MPG. Ive seen most people say "no matter how i drive i get barely over 100 miles to £20" so i drove like a grandad for 4 days and i got a grand total of 148 miles from 20 english pounds! I then put £10 back in the tank...

    Something Interesting..

    Today i was looking at the technical spec of the AQX and AYP engines. The only difference is that AYP is emission spec EU2/EU3 and AQX is D4 Standard. Also it states that AYP and AQX engines DO have variable valve timing.
