Well the main reason for the 16v bonnet is my bolt on.

As I have the shitty standard air box I had to get a Green bolt on to make that beautful induction noise. The 16v scoop allows air to get to it, instead of the hot engine air Wink

Works a treat too.

how much did u pay for the IK?

Well I am sure it's different to you engine and they way the air goes in. Mines sits on the top of the carburettor and "bolt's on", hence the name. Smile

But Â£80

Damn impulse buys, ah well I did a silly amount of overtime that month so why not? Wink

Well my step dad made a real tit's up job of it Sad

It had to go as he drilled the boot and fucked up the hole positioning so it was wonky and then he decided to use fucking bathroom seelant all over it.

Mr Quoter-vator Joined: 16 Feb 2004 Posts: 7405

yeah, SPI i thnk.

Site Subscriber Joined: 07 Oct 2004 Posts: 2281

Yep. As far as I know all Phase 2 1.4's have injected version of the engine fitted.

I believe carburettor Energy's were only used in Phase 1 19's.

Well the grill is in the garage. It will go on soon.

I have something else to do first Wink

Thanks for the comments

Yes it is a 1.4 RTI. JB worked it out to do 40mpg I got 350 miles from Â£35 worth of petrol. This was not all slow driving either some rapid driving and some no so. Smile

I mean you can get it chipped and it would maybe do even more to the gallon.

It's a great car, not the quickest of things, but it's good enough for me
