1 week after buying the car I had the Alloys fitted - Fox 5 Evo 15" on shite ventus tyres

Nokia Handsfree kit and an alpine 7860R headunit were the start of the electronic mods. Speakers followed they were JBL component 505ce in the front - with about �50 of dynamat per door, Orion 905CX for 6x9's which were great for a couple of months then i wanted to get louder so went and got a 12" Rockford Fosgate sub in a custom enclosure lined with dynamat, foam back carpet and filled with duvet stuffing which is all powered by a bridged Rockford Fosgate 120w amp, doesn't sound much but it turns heads!

This is the boot 1/2 done, the dynamat is to go in the spare wheel bay, i spent all day doin the wiring got to finishing off the sound proofing and gave up and just as i went to mount the amp on the back of the seat my drill packed up so they're getting done next w/e.

This is the only performance mod so far, K&N 57i sounds shit hot when u put your foot down in any gear, thinking of getting a powerflow exhaust, definetely getting kent cams, thats next on the list!

Sorted the boot out a bit better now wheel bay is all filled with dynamat and everything is fixed down to stop rattling.

Nice car you got rob, Have you managed to set a car alarm off with the k&n yet, trust me you can. Don't think they give much performance gain though. Get a better exhaust, cams are not meant to make any difference on the 1.4.
