I got two part worn michelin Pilots with 6-7mm of tread for £20 per wheel fitted to mine the other day. Works out a dam site cheaper than new ones, might want to go down that route?

Cold Air Feed?

For a 1.4 the best two options are:

replacement performance panel filter (£50 max)or

make your own which is heat protected like the BMC carbon ones, (£150 or more)

Most others may just suck in hot air and hamper your engine's performance and life.

What about if i ran a cold air feed to it? Eg Pipercross?

Ive got a Raid Hp induction kit for a 1.4. Been on the car but the car was never driven with it on. Split the cold air feed pipe when I was fitting that. Would only need a cold air feed.

Still undecided, dont know if I should make up and induction system or just stick with the Green filter.

Not sure about what wheels they are.
The spacers will probably be on the back wheels, as Seat decided in their ultimate wisdom to make the rear track approx 40mm narrower at the back then the front.
If you look at you front wheels the sit flush with the edge of the wheel arch, the look at the rears, you can see they are inset to the arch.
Spacers will just make the wheel sit towards to outside of the wheel arch - cosmetic really, but widening the track also makes it handle a bit better

The diagnostic 'shizzle' is about as much use as a hole in the head, the MK2 ECU in the kindest way is simple to say the least.

You'd probably learn more sticking your head under the bonnet with a flash light, the upside of this is that you dont have a stupid ECU warning light coming on about something irrelevant every 2 mins ;)

Yeah ive seen the black ones on momo's pics, they doo look awesome but hes got a fair bit of black goin on with his silver mk2...im not gunna be doin all that stuff...

that why i wanted to see what it would look like, chrome and silver must look better than if it was a green or blue mk2 with the chrome engel eyes :eek:

Yeah i wanted angel eyes really but i think theres no point spending all that money when they only look in the dark. ima keep my as standard as possible with the occasional subtle mod here

Edit: nice song on myspace btw.. i wud add u cept i lost me password.. wooopsioe
