How often do you have your car valeted? It looks shiny, but no shinier than mine after I've done it lol

i only have a wash and vac once a week for a 10er lol

he does a great job

he has to mop my car as i have carwash swirls allover :(:cry:

tut, how lazy?! If he's done it once for a tenner it'll only take you an hour to do it yourself once a week! £40 a month on washing your car? You must be nuts lol. As long as yuo don't let it get too dirty its a doddle to keep clean!

Don't go cutting holes in your sub box mate... a port needs to be the right dimensions for the sub i.e. length and diameter (oooerr!) and a ported box needs to be a larger volume than a sealed one to start with. From the pics its pretty hard to tell but it doesn't look far off to me. Did the fella building it for you not calculate the volume before he started?

I love what you've done to your car mate,
I'm also interested in modifying it the same wa you had as I actually have EXACTLY the same Car,
Sportrider 58 plate, Black Magic 1.9TDI
I wanted to go to P-Torque like you but the Drive is like 2 hours without traffic so I might have to get it done by forge down here.

How noticeable is the drive now? Does it pull and feel much faster?

i would still recommend p-torque.... i had a 130-145 min travel to p-torque and an 1hour home :) its is definitely worth it.

yes it is noticable and all the way through the gears and revs will is a top bloke and offers no bull attitude (if he doesnt think he will see results he wont map it)

i am getting to the limit alot quicker (from a stand still) and puts a smile on my face every time :)
