Postby xr1.1man on Mon Nov 16, 2009 12:20 am

well basically i have a 1.1 fiesta azura .. my mum and dad bought it for my first car and the first hing i did on my birthday was log on to ebay trying to find bits to make it my own ...
my brother and i have fitted the xr2i body kit all round lowered it 30 mm and put cossie rep ford 15" alloys straight on ..
we have also fitted a cat back stainless exhaust with a cherry bomb back box which sounds rather nice ...
theres two questions i would like to ask


1. how on eath do i quiten the engine noise down thats pretty much the only thing that gives it away ...:(

2. what would you recommend for and air filter i have seen a few but have no ideas on what would make it run a bit nicer and maybe give a notier sound ..


thanks alot sam ....

its the tappets that mkae all the noise mate. have to re-align them, there is a guide in the guide section on how to do it. also no point in getting an air filter for it just put a few more holes in the back of the air box and that ll give u some more noise.
