Cheers mate

Right today i took a drive too demon tweeks and bought a metre of 70mm ducting for a new air feed.Dead easy to fit and sounded alot better at first,altough just had another drive and im sure it sounded abit quieter again but il give it a few days and see how it goes
Just noticed that ive got a sidelight out Just read the how to guide and looks like they are a nightmare to replace

Dont buy one of the "VW Sharan" aerials off ebay, they look good but reception is non existant

I did, there fine if you like listening to static.

Too true, static with the occasional music note.

Ooooo theyre not that bad.... I get my local station great..... Just no chance of anything else ha

il look into getting an areial from a main dealer then lol

Not been up to much recently.Fitted two new sidelight bulbs which i was dreading doing after reading the "how to2 guide on here,but in the end it only took about 30 mins Also bought two new 195/45/15 toyo proxes T1-R's off ebay and had them fitted on the rear and painted my exhaust manifold heatsheild black.

Gave my rocker cover a few coats of red VHT paint yesterday ,its not perfect but looks a 100 times better than the bear metal
U can see the manifold heatsheild ive sprayed black aswel.Heres some pics anyway

before


after


all coments welcome

That looks really good I like the manifold shield sprayed black! all you need now is some red HT leads

Great improvement mate.

Looks much better mate

The red leads are about £20 each from VW

I just replaced mine the other month

Looks perfect!
Makes the engine bay look brand new
I so badly need to do mine

Cheers for the comments I think red leads would look good too,but i haven't long replaced them so they will have to stay black for a while lol

I have also noticed that my BMC seems to be really loud some days (seems to be hotter ones) and not so on others?anyone else have the same thing?Like if i come out of work and my car has been in the sun all day its REALLY loud,but when i get in it in the morning its not much louder than a standard airbox
Weird lol

thanks for reading
daz

I had a pipercross viper on mine which did exactly the same thing, was always a lot noisier when it was warm

Bit of a strange one that, never really noticed mine being louder on certain days lol
Either way they sound immense, I prefer the low rev gargle though
