How hard is the conversion to a bigger engine from a 1 litre? I've been told its "not possible"...?

David that is a 1.6 in it now lol so its definitely possible

The wiring is a bit tricky but other than that its pretty straight forward

is that a powerflow tip shaun? phoned the most local place that does powerflow exhausts and they quoted me £20 for tip and bout £25 labour so all is good

ive only got a sportex backbox and could porb buy a whole backbox for £50 secondhand but mine is only like 3months old so im not too sure yet you think its worthit?? its for same tip as yours

Sam keep an eye on the west mids section mate. We are overdue a meet now

Hopefully one will be organised soon!

Sean, its an MIJ Performance one mate. The reason I just had the tip changed rather than a whole new box was because I had a recess cut in my bumper specifically for my janspeed backbox. A different backbox might not have sat the same which put me off a bit. But doing it the way I did it means you can have it exactly how you want it

life time guarantee as well which is handy

haha cheers Luke. Was a shame I didnt get to open it up properly

Next time I'll take you for a proper blast in it lol

Been rewiring in my toad alarm today

wasnt as hard as I thought it was going to be luckily. Only problem I've got is the D/S central locking isnt working, I think ive missed a wire somewhere so I need to hunt for that tomorrow. Plus the siren isnt working either but according to the manual it takes a while for the battery to charge for it so hopefully that will sort itself

Adam, long time no speak mate! You can get them from loads of places. Google powerflex exhaust mounts and it will bring loads up depending on what you want

You at pvs this year btw?

Cheers M Beirne, gotta say that is one interesting inlet setup you have there! are the two like made into one or something?

Thanks Paul, Its not too hard to keep clean at the minute, was a bloody nightmare in the winter though!

Jamie

I thought exactly the same lol

Cheers Shaun, indeed long time no speak although i'm sure i sent you a text with my new number in! I'll have a look, it will be one of the many jobs to do on the Sport including working through the advisories from the MOT. i'd probably go for the whole lot. As for PVS, think JOV are planning on doing it but not seen the post yet and not sure if i'll be there as the Nova is going to be saved!

Glad to hear its being saved

If I dont see you at pvs Im planning on going to billing this year so might see you there if you're going!

Got some new goodies today

I'd had my eye on these for a while, they are the retrimmed seats that go with my fronts and the retrimmed doorcards to match. As with my fronts they are in amazing condition! Seriously chuffed! Massive thanks goes to pagey who sorted me out an amazing deal on them

The rear seats are going in the loft for the moment. But I reckon they will be fitted at some point in the future when the cage starts to do my head in. I just need to source some pre 97 black/dark grey door pockets so that I can get the leather door cards fitted for pvs
