Bit of a daft question really. My friend can get me a K&N induction kit for £50 Im just wondering if there is much point as my car is a 4 speed gearbox. Will I get any benefit from an induction kit ?

Gearbox shouldn't make a difference - and if its automatic, that means its a 1.4 right?

Might give it a little more grunt :) And you'll get a whooshy induction kit noise (can you tell I don't have one - can't even tell you what it sounds like :redface: )

Its a 1.4 yes. I need to do something to it - just feels a bit boring and £50 seems like a bargain to me. Was expecting to pay that for an air filter tbh. Any joy with your transportation issue yet loops ? I asked my cousin who works in Swindon if he knew anyone with a trailer thingie but, no joy. You should be ok winging it back but, they are still doing that flyover by the hospital lots of police about and new speed cameras.

I talked to my mum, and we reckon its gonna be easiest and least stressful to just get it brought up by lowloader - I found some people up here who can do it for me, it was just cost made me hesitate...

I been thinking about doing mine myself. Although I think I will need to wait until the warmer weather sets in. Going to sit and budget tonight for my suspension, I dont want to delve into my holiday fund at all. I feel a little emotional for you loops it was horrible when I got my MOT done watching someone else drive my car.

I'm gonna ask him about doing the bumpers too - if he's mixing up a load of paint he might as well do that too.....

I'm feeling a bit better now, but still a little snuffly :redface:

Ohhhhhhhhh scary stuff ! Dont like that paying bit. Im staying in this weekend after a rather heavy night thursday still feeling a little delicate :( despite my delicacy I did spill red wine all over my laptop 5 minutes ago !! I had a rather brisk 6 mile walk along the seafront today to do some thinking and gather some creative thoughts :blink: Get paid next week so it will be suspension time - just going to go with shocks and springs to be honest at the moment as Im getting a bit twitchy. Need a manual car :cry:

Yeah, thats the bit I'm dreading...will probably be pretty sizeable. But I have an unofficial budget of £2k, as thats the kind of money I'd be looking at to replace him! Didn't realise he was worth that much...

Ooo, a seafront walk - havn't been to the sea for aaaages, love walking along a nice open beach, all salty and blowy and fresh :)

Shocks and springs are a good choice. Coilies can be a little tough on the bum at times :rolleyes: But my offer of a test ride in my Arosa still stands (once he's fixed that is)
