so you want a noisy slow car?  Why don't you keep the mk3 nice, clean and original so when you've saved enough money you can px the mk3 and, with the cash, buy something nicer.

well yeah i dont go anywhere to speed in it, untill my insurnce go down there is not much i can do, there is prob about 4 places where i live where you can speed an i hardly go there. so if you have any ideas let me know but if not i dont want to know that a 1.4 is sh!t, coz i know that but its a start isnt it!

Heeey!

I had a 1.4 SE for my first car, they're pretty cool cars from factory so don't need much work to make them look good!

If you're looking for a bit of a 'roar' when you accelerate then an induction kit is the way to go.. or if it's a constant noise you're after, I'd suggest replacing the exhaust, whether it be backbox or full system :)

I had a Sportex backbox on mine which I purchased from a scrapyard for £15 and it sounded really really nice! Not like a chavvy jap can on a 1.1 Saxo!

Here's a pic of my old 1.4 SE

I kinda miss it, but then I look at my current car and think "that's better!"

stainless exhaust and air filter is your best bet.  If you've got no money drill the airbox.

Means, like every other stupid pikey racing around in their bare wikkid low powered cars racing around the streets you can't afford your insurance.

So, instead you get mummy to insure it so it's cheaper, then when you crash into one of us who pays for our insurance, your insurance screws you over and we get sweet f**k all from them.

CHEERS!

Well:

"I'm on my mums policy" kinda screams "I'M FRONTING IT"

I apologize if I'm wrong, I'm in a bad mood.

But answer this, is it your car?

Oh, I didn't call you a pikey, I meant "like all the pikeys" not every other.

My dad insured his VR6 and his Bora on an Admiral multi car policy, THEY asked my dad if there were any other cars in the household, so he told them that I had a car, then THEY asked if he wanted to add my car onto the multi car policy which gives an even bigger percentage off the final cost.

He told them how much I was paying though and they said they couldn't beat it, so I continued insuring my car on my own policy.

answer for what?

Thats what im on we have 4 cars at out house an there all on my mums polict group coz it works out cheaper and affrodable as im in college with a part time job!! how old are you?

at the end of the day i know 2 in 10 people that go on there own an it is usualy people who have  worked from 16 or who have people pay it for them. Just think of people who want a car and cant afford both when going on a parents for  a year helps out a little  :grin:

That's where many people get confused.

If you are driving about on your mums insurance on your car and have an accident and they work it out (and they do) they won't pay out, because you are "fronting" the insurance.

Heads up.
