It's literally a two minute job and you'll be surprised how filthy your pollen filter will be, if I can do it quickly and easily then anyone can.

I'll be changing mind every two years from now on as I've done with all my cars.

It comes under air-conditioning service which is a different service to the normal maintenance schedule. as soon as you mention that to a customer all you get is My air-conditioning works fine as it is. But as a precaution we take ours out on normal service even If it's just to inspect and advise the customer.

I do my air-conditioning yearly but the pollen filter every 2 years.

hi guys

what do you reccomend in terms of improving the handling of a hatch?

read that rear arb makes a significant difference?

thanks

I found that 18 inch wheels made more of a difference to the handling of my car than the prodrive lowering springs. I haven't changed the rear ARBS so can't comment on those. I think most would recommend a set of coilovers rather than ARBs to improve the handling...but I suppose it depends on what you want and your budget..

I finally managed to get my hands on the Revolution exhaust system due to mate picking up the system for me from Enginetuner down in Plymouth.

I bought it and really wasn't expecting it to be up to much but thought that it would 'do' as in interim system until I had my forthcoming engine build over and done with, when I picked it up it was very grubby but I thought it might come up OK with some effort.

Well with some TFR to break down the grime and exhaust soot, and a damn good polish with Autoglym metal polish, some patience and a lot of elbow grease it has come up literally like new.

As you can see the silencer body has come up like a mirror and the tail pipe sections are gleaming, the two part centre section has been professionally heat wrapped and again is like new.

To say I am pleased is an understatement as I paid a very good price (for me that is) for the system, the quality of the system is very good and far better than I was expecting to be honest.

I was on the lookout for a Prodrive rear silencer but now I think I will stick with what I have.

Thanks Daz, like I said I wasn't expecting too much but the system was only months old when I bought it (which I was unaware of then) and with a bit of spit and polish it's come out like new.

Default BlackTop Aero

Hi all,

I am planning on removing the BlackTop Area spoiler from the car this evening and replacing it with the stock unit, I have seen a video on how to remove the stock spoiler so just planning on the reverse to refit, hoping the BlackTop comes off without any problems.

Anyone with any advice on fitting/removing the spoilers would be appreciated

Also, I will have for sale a BlackTop Aero Spoiler, if anyone is interested drop me a PM

Thanks

Paul
