Clear side repeaters look great on black Kats - I had them on my 1.7.

Damn! Sorry Neil, said clear instead of smoked. Still look good though k:

Either/or!

Still better than the gopping orange ones

I;ve seen blue ones on a frp

they just sprayed them while doing the car! lol

They actually do blue side repeaters! I saw green, red, blue, yellow and all sorts of colours when I was shopping for mine.

I think clear side repeaters for a silver car and smoked for a black car works best.

k:

You front anti roll bar rattling might be your drop links perhaps?

Yeah that has needed sorting for a long time. If I ever get time to do it, I will.

Sounds good, but I personally wouldn't bother with rear disc conversion, the standard brakes are perfectly fine unless you want to track it regularly, and its just money you could put elsewhere (not as if you don't have other plans where it could go!)

Well if I ever did do a rear disc conversion, it would be right down on the bottom of the list, but that would purely be to get it as close to an FRP as possible without scouring for body panels and getting an ECU remap (which I'm also considering).

Well, the K&N panel filter's been fitted, and it does appear to have a bit more pickup at certain times.

At least I won't be cleaning it every five minutes like an induction cone.

Cool

Started the list for 2009 then! Wonder how much you'll finish by the end of the year?

Ignore that post, the nice curvy spoiler with a brake light is no longer available.

Watch out Zara for spoiler thief!

eyes will be peeled! :fists:

LOL!

Exhaust has started blowing, so figure this may as well be the time to get the full Milltek system.

Obviously will probably need to get it from PumaSpeed, should I get it fitted there too?

The full kit's gonna cost me quite a bit mind...but it'll sound fantastic!!

You don't have to go to Pumaspeed to get a Milltek.

Look through this as well as if there is a place near to you and they are not a Ford stockist per-say, they might still get one for you if they want the business in these money-munch times..

Looks like I might be ringing round a bit. Theres a store in Gateshead that I know bucky went to to get his Scorpion system, they're supposed to be doing Millteks in the future but not sure whether they'll be able to source any yet, deffo worth a phone call though.

Cheers for the info Dal

You deff going for Milltek? You wanting a subtle sound rather than a deep burble i take it?

Aye try http://www.revolution.eu.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

based in Dunston Gateshead, they do a deal now and then . You will save money and time by not having to travel to Pumaspeed in Leeds, they have a full workshop.
They will order in Miltek now as will Turbopacs in Durham, but they are pricey mind.



The scorpion is starting to bed in nicely now, plenty of grunt and roar, ready for its de-cat and a mani.
