Guest couzens Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 That's a great result well done! Is that one mod the only thing you done to the car, performance wise? Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Couzens - Ive got a BMC CDA filter & Powerflow cat back exhaustTom - Id removed the carbon canister & connected the 2 pipes, what I shouldve done was block the one that leads to the throttle body and leave the other open... not sure what you mean about the filter?

tommy 0 Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Doh....read your thread a bit wrong...thought you had something done on your filter too...just out of interest did they say that a remap might squeeze a few more ggs out of the old girl with the mods you?ve already got!

binliner 0 Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 no not worth remapping it ... probably get 5bhp max for £350 +vat!if you put different cams in or something like that then itd be worth it Link to post Share on other sites
tommy 0 Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 cool..... Probably go for an exhaust and filter then 8) Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 the BMC is worth the extra money I think... and it sounds cool... I think mine sounded better when I just had the filter cos the zorst drowns it out a bit Link to post Share on other sites

binliner 0 Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 the filter is only loud at full throttle... if you're cruising on the motorway you wont know its there. My exhaust drones at about 2000 revs but otherwise is ok Link to post Share on other sites
