AND a new badge:

Ok so, this beast as done over 1500 miles now, and i havent had 1 single issue bar a tired battery! I never did show you guys what happened to my FACTORY fitted 1.1 exhaust... Driving along at a steady easy 60mph, then BOOOOOM! Car turns from a 1.8vvc to a NASCAR V8. Exhaust just casually split in half and left me dragging my cat along the floor all the way to work! 2012-12-29 16.52.46 by MetroMorey, on Flickr So this resulted in my momentarily buying a GTI system, which still wasnt really good enough for the 160... I then said to hell with it! After many coins and notes, and 5 hours in a powerflow garage... 2013-04-02 19.54.18 by MetroMorey, on Flickr 2013-04-02 19.54.29 by MetroMorey, on Flickr So this resulted in me driving the thing like every vvc should be at FULL TILT! (for at least once a week! lol) So one evening, me and my mate john go hooning up the highstreet - in a rather childish and silly suggestion to wheelspin all the way up the highstreet. Well... 1st - wheelspun all the way through the revs, hit the limiter then slammed into 2nd... the combination of the type a diff making the car feel like its driving over cobbled streets at 70 and the gearchange itself sent the car into super vibrating mode. Fearing the worst, pulled up at home had a look at the engine bay and... FUCK! the engine ARM not the mount had snapped! DAMN! So the Sunday BEFORE pride of longbridge i had to do this: 2013-04-07 13.13.37 by MetroMorey, on Flickr 2013-04-07 13.08.31 by MetroMorey, on Flickr Another snap of the car as it stands at the moment! 2013-04-18 18.05.26 by MetroMorey, on Flickr A glimpse into the future! PLEASE let me know your thoughts on the goldness! 2013-04-18 20.13.07 by MetroMorey, on Flickr 2013-04-18 20.03.04 by MetroMorey, on Flickr

Finally an engine upgrade... cold air feed, havent seen this done this way before... SAM_0651 by MetroMorey, on Flickr SAM_0652 by MetroMorey, on Flickr SAM_0650 by MetroMorey, on Flickr Just have to remind myself to stay out of floods lol!

i think your right adrian, might re-position it... Im thinking about cutting a section out of the roof of the funnel so its not as likely to scoop up water. its guarded by mesh at the front: SAM_0655 by MetroMorey, on Flickr SAM_0653 by MetroMorey, on Flickr

A lot of miles racked up, not alot of problems... only a sheared bolt on the alternator mounting and a flat battery... but thats it! as modifications go - pictures speak for themselves: SAM_0852 by MetroMorey, on Flickr SAM_0853 by MetroMorey, on Flickr my own paintwork: SAM_0856 by MetroMorey, on Flickr SAM_0859 by MetroMorey, on Flickr

thanks for the advice guys Finnished the comps now... after rubbing them down with 3000 grit wet n dry with soapy water and buffing them with meguiars ultimate compound, they have come out like a glass finnish! so happy! HIGHLY RECOMMEND rubbing down lacquer after with wet n dry! it gives it a proffesional paintjob shine! Can you believe this finnish?! Sprayed it all with aerosol!
