The janspeed manifold , cost me bleeding £183

but i was able to tax my car with christmas money so i can keep the manifold!
now to fit maybe thinking of doing it today!

 

[william_sr]

where you got the LEDs from look nice.

 

[Optispart]

ebay mate, a seller called
takajos

 

[pjg1979]

Car is looking Ace, love the rear clusters. Interesting to see what the Manifold looks like once fitted.

 

[Scouse boy]

Mate your car is looking really good, I have a red Micra as well so its nice to see what mine would look like when you have added certain things. Them rear clusters are lovely
keep up the good work mate!

 

[Antony]

before you fit the manifold give it a good 6 or seven coats of very high temperature paint. the standard stuff burns off in about 500 miles and looks rubish..lol

you could even get it powedercoated...

 

[b47to]

looks mint with those lights on pal, loving the wheel as well

 

[Krish]

Looks realllyy good dude, cant wait to see that manifold on.
and your steerling wheel is the sex!

 

[joesouthgate]

Rear lights look ace mate (Y) They really suit Red cars imo.

 

[Optispart]

thanks for the comments guys ill do that with the manifold cheers for the tip and yer they really suit red cars also grr trying to fit the mani now the two bolts with the springs on the first cat one is bigger than the other and none of my sockets fit out of about easilly 100 sockets not friggin one fits!

the other one moves nicely with the socket im using it seems a tiny too small for the other!

 

[frank]

the other one moves nicely with the socket im using it seems a tiny too small for the other!

probably just the rust has swelled it :glance:, the 2nd cat ones are usually the most rusted, i had to grind the side of the nut away and use a chisel to split the nut open enough for it to spin

 

[syrup88]

hey optis, good stuff with ya micra mate. some nice mods to it. the LED are cool got them myself and the central locking too. was wondering mate were did u get ur K&N panel filter from and wat differences did it make ?? and ur ashley backbox were did u get that from ??? what the difference with it too???

cheers mate


:blush:

 

[Optispart]

bloody hell frank! lol ill see what i can do!!

syrup, the K&N gave slight acceleration gains well worth buying and same with the backbox also it sounds amazing lol its best with the rest of the exhaust which is my plan!

there both from potn.com great site

 

[syrup88]

ok cheers mate
with the back boxes does it sound loud as am only after a slight grumble nothin major ? thanks

 

[Stani1029]

i bought the full system so the old exhaust got hacksawed and dumped

 

[jamie604]

car comin on nice..
were u pick up the lockin kit for um and r they pricey

 

[joesouthgate]

The central locking kit comes from rclick.co.uk

 

[jamie604]

thanks

 

[Optispart]

yer as mm said

its not loud at all really with the backbox
i recommend if your not after real loud just a nice sound

 

[Micravibe]

lookin good mate its give me some ispiration to do mine as i did feel a little dis-heartened looking at most others as im also extremely strapped for cash but pleased to know i can still make it look good within a budget. wikid.
I like the idea of central locking very much how do i go about getting hold of one cheap?
