    Unlikely. AFAIK he's happy enough, but (as always) time will tell.

    Why?

    I kinda figured he'd have to complete the "breathing", as such, for the engine. Larger intake therefore larger exhaust. It's something I'm tempted to do, and not having to replace the full exhaust makes it all the more tempting

    Ahh, yeah, understand. AFAIK he went to celica manifold only because it has different configuration (4-2-1 vs 4-1 or something), but I'm not sure, so open to corrections. :o

    Probably factory exhaust is big enough to deal with higher performance (exactly same exhaust is used with 1.6, 110ish bhp engine).

    Just back from Northpoint from my recheck, group of travellers ran out of their yard and threw a bucket of water into a young girls car, ruined her certs and the car was soaking. Poor girl was distraught.

    Just a warning for anyone heading up, might be best to keep your windows rolled up!

    PlastiDip'd(Thanks to MuppetCheck) the grills black, not too sure how I feel fully about it but I'm getting to like them.

    Yeah maybe I shoulda kept my trap shut seeing as I never share a picture of my own bus. I only like estates and left field stuff anyway so my opinion on bmws doesn't count for much!!

    There was a dirty thieving scumbag trying the doors of mine the other night.

    Those kidney grills are not VW hippy van badges. :pac:


    In other news, I tested the capabilities of the Punto once again.
    This time I squeezed in two 17" wheels with tyres, one seat, two headlights and one mirror - all from a Renault Espace. :P

    They are not the crowd I ordered my wheels from but looks like JDMdistro's google listing got hacked, either that or they started selling more than just car performance parts:D

    He was disturbed by a neighbour. Some others were done, doors jimmied. Doublelocking on mine so he'd have made a right mess of it before he discovered that he couldn't get in or broke the glass and found there was sh1te all in the car.
    Edit - by left field, I mean Irish left field, which mostly means not german.

    I don't have AC. I turned the temperature as low as possible on the air blower but it still comes out warm. :(

    It comes out cold when it's not hot outside. That's just how air blowers work. As I said I don't have the luxury of AC.

    My buddy gets usually between 25-45, city and motorway respectively. That's a manual that's remapped too. If you're thinking of one you should really get a Petrol, they're not much worse tbh.

    I was forum banned on my old account years ago. I used to frequent that forum a lot. It's a dead forum on here now, very few posts there now, once a week or even once every two weeks someone posts.
