I had a half day at work and I managed to sneak in a bit of wrapping.. Its a sparkly, glittery, purple wrap that the missus brought for her Lupo but I thought i'd test some to make sure it works :shifty:
Also my exhaust flexi has been made up now and will be going on over the weekend as im currently running without one and its vibrating like f**k :swerve:
Cant wait to use my Dual Action polisher that my parents brought me for christmas, just need the weather to perk up a bit. And this is the best smelling Airfreshener ever off the missus (Ironically). :thumbsup:

How's the K&N?

K&N Short term review:

Ive had the K&N panel filter fitted for a couple of days now and so far so good!

From cold there is no difference at all however when the car warms up the K&N really starts to show off, The throttle lag problem has been reduced (possibly due to the change in air pressure in the airbox) and overall the power has defiantly improved (Im currently running a 4-1 manifold and catback).

I was hoping for more noise to be produced from the K&N however there is not much difference at all. Also the car does take slightly longer to warm up which goes to show that there really is a better airflow over the standard filter.

Future plans in terms of airflow is to scrap the standard air feed hoses and route a cold air feed from behind the grill (Keeping things tidy) which will get more air into the airbox and possibly a noise/performance improvement. I have also been looking into drilling a couple of small holes in the airbox and smoothing the inside just to get a bit more noise (Airboxes are cheap and easy to replace if it doesnt work out).

Pictures below: NOTE: I have stuck the K&N sticker on for information purposes and the next 2 pictures is how id like to route the cold air feed (without the BMC CDA and straight to the standard airbox obviously).

I've heard that there is a trade off of particulate filtering and air flow. What have you heard on this situation

Yes your right there is, However the K&N's are very well made and as long as they are kept in good condition and oiled/serviced when required they stop particles almost as good as standard paper ones.

As some of you may know my exhaust has been held together with a Heinz baked beans can for the last couple of weeks the welds between the exhaust and manifold snapped.

After ordering a custom flexi pipe from a company in Coventry all was solved and now the car runs alot smoother! :thumbup:

I even popped a quick picture of some weird ice beading on my roof hahaa. :innocent:

Cheers man! The scirocco seats were an absolute nightmare to fit if im honest haha!

Re-routing the cold air feed is on my to-do list but my exhaust is rattling on the underside of the body of the car so that will be the job for the weekend unfortunately :angry2:

Managed to grab a few quick snaps of the car over the weekend, I want it just a touch lower so the arch gap is even all the way round :thumbsup:

Thas such a crisp picture! I drove from South Devon to bristol (meant to be 1.5 hours and it took 2) and there was rain, sleet, snow, and hail. By the time I got there, there was snow on my roof, bonnet and on my scuttle. It's safe to say my car is no where near as clean as yours. At the moment it's brownish grey when it's meant to be black haha!
