[JJ 1.0l]

Hello all, this is my car. I got it on the 16th august 2006 my 17th birthday. It started its life out as a 1.0 shape with steel wheels and a rusty door.

The first picture is of auto trader where I got it from. After this I decided to get a set of alloys (bought of Anthony Aiken) a new door and a rear spoiler.

Shortly after this I decided a sound system was needed so bought one lol.

Then a few months went by and didn’t really do much to the car, so I sorted that out by buying a set of led rear lights and a janspeed manifold, but to this day have still not fitted the manifold

.

I then bought a air filter and made my own induction.

Then fitted a set of dials with a rev counter.

I then stopped for a while due to college and studying for my exams etc. I then picked up from where I left off and got it lowered 35mm.

Then unfortunately I crashed my car on the 14th august this year, fox + wet + roundabout = http://www.moddedmicras.co.uk/upload/files/11-S8300216.JPG

So I got it fixed and had to buy a new set of alloys as mine where buckled from the crash. http://www.moddedmicras.co.uk/upload/files/13-S8300279.JPG

I then got more hours at work so was able to afford more stuff lol so bought new bumpers from Davey C and made an open mouth grill.

Then more noise was needed so added a backbox.

This is how the car currently stands.

[squarepants]

[joelh]

fancy selling manifold?

 

[JJ 1.0l]

i'm afraid not i am actually going to put it on this week but need a few extra bits of the exhaust like decat and cat back pipe (if n e ones got one give us a bell)

 

[JJ 1.0l]

a bit of an update!!!

i recieved a few goodies in the post today, got a new fog light for my bumper and i got some custom seat rails for bucket seats

also i re fitted my exhaust so it doesn't stick out as much as it did and put the standard airbox back on as i didn't like the noise of the air filter anymore. however from doing this the exhaust sounds better and it pops like a real jap car lol. might try and get a video up.

That's really nice, kinda inspired me to crack on with mine. Where'd you get the rear lights from and how much?

i'm not to sure actually lol i got them of mattieking on here. i think they were off a mazda. since i got them i have put some 195/45 yokohomas on them good in the dry not so good in the wet lol

 

[JJ 1.0l]

look whar has just arrived A FULL JANSPEED EXHAUST SYSTEM!!!! (well i got the manifodl ages ago but just thought to include it)

this will be going on my 1.0l :glance: and when it is fitted will get a video up/sound clip of it on.

 

[JJ 1.0l]

MY EXHAUST IS ON and it is awesome i can fell the extra power especially in 3rd gear. Against my friend in his 1.4 polo i was infront then stayed with him until it got to fast, just so people can see the power difference, my mates are impressed.

only problem is it sounds like it blowing, sort of a "wooosh" noise when i put my foot down (only between about 3000 - 5000rpm) but everything is done up tight. Is it just the way the exhaust sounds?

also the backbox only hangs slightly to the left cos the hanger broke but i will just got get one from a scrapyard.

comments?

 

[joesouthgate]

Nice (Y) did you use exhaust paste when assembling it could be blowing a little which would make that noise.

Wow JJ what a change...
the car was just like mine now, but you changed so much, just only the bumpers change everything...car is much better with them, looks different...cool stuff!! And I love the rear lights, may ask you a question: are you allow to put them in Uk? because here in Italy you can't put them on the car.:suspect: :suspect: :suspect: ..man I think I'll move to Great Britain!!!
Anyway I like better the 2nd alloys you put the black one are really nice! which measure are you alloys?

ciauzzz

cheers for the comment, about the lights, they are perfectly legal. i have been pulled over a few times and the police have said nothing.

next on my list is a new induction kit, did have one then took it off now i want another because, and i am not joking, my exhaust sounds alomst STANDARD:O. when blippin the throttle it makes a raspy noise but when driving nothing lol but thats good, doesn't hurt my ears.
