how come no one ever mentions GREEN air filters?? whats wrong wif em??

for ignition get NGK type R they are about ?10 and they are the best plugs ever!! the gap is 0.7mm. standard leads from halfords are perfecty good.

Ok these are my own opinions.

Stick with K+N bolt on filter.

For exhaust system power and noise i'd say Magnex.

Mafco Pro Leads and the above mentioned NGK plugs. for your ignition.

For Brakes EBC's Greenstuff pads. Good grip, effective from cold and no brake dust.

agree with above, but what about a set of lowering springs?

What's wrong with PECOs??? People always diss 'em, but mine made a heap load of difference over the standard shit, and I love the note from it...no raspy raspberry blowing shit like some perf zorsts X-(
It's lasted fking ages too.

Mine exits at an angle, and sounds mint! The BB2 back box is over two years old, and still got 99% of the paint on it...the brakets rusted a bit though.
Well, I don't give a shit, I love it even if no one else does :(

I also have a BB2 system + box and it sounds ok, but i must admit i hate em when peops have carbs, the nasty raspy sound it gives out!!!

I like the sound urs makes dicko.. was good with the 32/34 carb tho :)

Methinks if I get just a back box I'll go peco, they're well built and sound beefy otherwise I'll take the piss and buy an ashley system :)
