scrubbing, in what way?

can't ay I've heard anything.


Ride quality... goes round corners like its on rails ... no problem with ride either... the ride in my Smart car feels harder.



I'm putting theseon for the winter though


just to have a change for winter

 

Those the OEM Dunlops mate? Good luck in the slippy stuff! I had them on last winter and they were horrendous.

For this winter I've got these waiting to go on.

 

Any of you lads any ideas as to where I can locate a roof vent for my hatch, I've hunted high and low for a part number or kit but to no avail

Again no scrubbing and I find the ride fine on the worse roads in the UK. I think the look suits the car but they seem to be marmite on here.

 

well I've located 2 part numbers for the kit I think but I dont know the contents of it, apparently is only £208 + vat does that sound about right

 

Am not sure to be honest rob am sure theres a full assembly kit available. Money wise it sounds about right £250+

Immy

 

My mistake £255

 

Rob, I take it the roof vent your interested in is the type as shown on the silver hatch a couple of pages back? If so, the part number for the complete roof vent assembly is 65710FE000. Check the price on your system (if it's listed) and then give me a bell - think I can do better than the figures you're looking at.

Incidently, that type of vent was never an option for the hatch - the hawkeye was the last to use that type - so I'm not convinced they fit as well as they could.

If you want the real deal for the hatch then I can get that for you also (stock permitting). It's a study in carbon gorgeousness and would nicely compliment your impending carbon spoiler, only down side is it's horribly expensive.

Cheers, Neil

 

Cool, cant wait to see someone cut a hatch roof

 

don't do it, they don't look right on the hatch.


that Ken block car that I looked at back in Jan had one... looked outta place,

 

i was gunna ask you to do it on mine frayz

 

I'll do it Mark. You know I'm always up for stuff like this.

 

anyone got a carbonfibre bonnet?

looks well cool

 

Looked at these a while back - they do look good, and there is a supplier in Devon.
Expensive (£700 IIRC) and according the the NASIOC site they need to be fitted with the front bonnet clips so they fit well.
I reckon the bonnet needs extractor vents about level with the front of the scoop to extract air from behind the rads. Then with the side vent mod, that will draw air from behind the bonnet extractor vents (as well as hot under bonnet air flowing out under the car). Any reduction in pressure under the bonnet must help cool air flow into the engine bay through rad etc.
My2p worth !

 

i had looked at this bonnet, would get it painted white tho, I love the vents in it

theres a blue hatch in america done this mod, looks awesome

 

look well when painted....
seen this on NAIOC..

who asked about roof vents....



its on page 155 of the same thread.

 

Would love one if funds allowed! Also, not sure I have the cajones to cut a hole in the roof of the thing.

 

Have any of you guys changed the rear diff oil on your hatches yet? Mines 3 years old, covered 21k, I think it may be time to change it? Which oil would you recommend?

 

Changed lots of them inclusing my own. I use the dealership std Shell helix 75w90

 

Thanks, how much do I need? Also how often should it be changed?

 

I'm starting him young to know what a scooby is.......

 

Every 40,000 miles or 4 years whichever comes first. 0.8 ltrs in the diff and around 3ltrs in the gearbox

 

Cheers

 

anyone going to have a go at this?

Thanks to 'asukadc' for the photos on the above link .. like this one..


I've whipped my front fog cover trim off, and stripped the back off and can see where a light bar would fit. A light bar no more than 12cm long X 2cm high X 3cm deep would be ideal

 

why would you do that when you have the fog lights there anyway????

 

Bit ott to be honest. Not a fan of stick on parts

 

cus it's illegal to drive with your fog lights on... unless its foggy!

DRL can be on all the time. No need to have your side lights of head lights on.

 

IMO looks crap and seems pointless!!!

Have you got an LED fetish mate ??

Looks OK but not for me.
