DaveK 0 Posted May 11, 2006 looking very tidy dude, when u planning to drop it in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ashnicholls Posted May 11, 2006 still need to source a few bits, because was only given the block, and bought everything else. so need to get all the hoses for the cooling system, because my car is currently a 1.1. But hopefully within the next month or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huckleberry 0 Posted May 11, 2006 The engine looks great! Like it just came new out of a box from the Pug factory. But your garage looks like something the local garbagetruck crashed into. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ashnicholls Posted May 11, 2006 yes i know the garage is a right mess, its partly because the engine guards the enterance so everything gets thrown in around it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted August 6, 2006 Looking all very nice and shiny, Quick point thou, Those sock filters are power killer's, the one piece XR filter is much much better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ashnicholls Posted August 6, 2006 Are they that bad? How much power we talking? A couple or tens of horses? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boombang 2 Posted August 6, 2006 I don't know figures but seen one sucked inside a carb whilst it was on a rolling road. It certainly killed his power! (well actually being carbs it jsut got stuck on the aux venturi) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ashnicholls Posted August 6, 2006 Bloody hell!!!!!! How can they sell them if they are that restrictive??????? Loads of people use them though??????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted August 6, 2006 There's allot of stuff sold that is no better than a Chocolate tea pot, And just because lot's of people use them doesn;t mean there any good, A golf we tested lost 10bhp with these fitted, Power on this thou was 210bhp without them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ashnicholls Posted August 10, 2006 Yes i have them to go on and I will put them on. Just not until the carbs are balanced up and the engine running. Then they are going on well before i rev it. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ashnicholls Posted August 31, 2006 (edited) No need to panic and fret, I have got a set of 100mm high K&N filters. Here is a pic of the engine in. Edited August 31, 2006 by ashnicholls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
