i would go for a corsa peddle box you are restricting air flow to the carbs. The air filter will rub on the m/c then ruin it. For sake of a few hrs could rid all your problems :)

i shall keep it in mind :)
Running the short trumpets will only lower when you'll have peak power. If you're not planning on revving the engine then they shouldnt be a problem...
If you're that interested, look at pulse tunning.
Thanks chimp. It will be a fast road car so shouldn't rev mental lol. And yeh I will have a look at it thanks :)
Fast road, means high revs...
depends on the driver imo, amanda drives quick but barely takes hers above 4k, where as i like to rev mine until it sounds like its gonna blow up lolQuote:

me likey :thumb:
Would need to be uber low, and have much smaller profile tyres to pull that off imo. Needs bigger rimz
thanks guys,
im now downloading PS so i can chop it lol.
and i have no need to go bigger, more inchs means more weight!
Wrong car to be worried about weight!
lol, ok name some advantages about going to 15" wheels
They look better, wider, more grip when you want it and might mean you keep it out of hedges/lamp posts.
if i have bigger wheels i would have better respose while cornering, due to a lower side wall etc.Quote:

Those wheels suit it, looks good.
thanks dude,
also im not going to fit the exhaust wrap now, because i will run the engine first to see if i have any air leaks in the exhaust.
