few questions about possible mods

[Chris3boro]

Hi everyone, wondered if u could help me with the following..

(All applies to 1.4 mpi)

1-due to exhaust facing down, would sports back box need rear bumper to be cut?

2-anyone know where I can get strut brace for my car?

3-Do universal gear knobs work straight on, and can anyone reccomend any particular ones that look gd?

thanks a lot, Chris

1, i cut a hole in my bumper, looks ok.

2, on here or just look for a mk3 ibiza brace on fleabay

3, i have a red momo one you can have for £15.

Strut brace off of ebay or seat sport one from seat

Do what i did and slap a mk4 one on its much better

in terms of exhausts (for mk3 1.4 8v's) can anyone reccomend any good ones out there? I'm not looking at spending much at all just want a back box with a nice tone to it really-arethe universal ones on ebay a load of rubbish cos theyre v cheap!

Just what ever you do regarding exhausts DO NOT go to Exhaust-a-Fix in Darlington.

lol not heard of them before-bad experience? Good to see someone from same area as me Becuase Id have to cut a gap in rear bumper where would I be best getting this done (as I wouldnt trust myself lol)

 

[Craig!]

North East Tyres & Exhausts in Brotton so stainless systems, and the likes of Power Flow can do it too. Its an easy task and any half competant person could do it. I'd see about getting a pre-made back box from the likes of Super Sprint and getting them to fit it.

cool cheers Craig. Another thing, that gear knob thats in your avatar-do you know if it'd slot straight on my mk3 1.4 8v? And where I could get one from?
