I have a few little questions, I'm planning on doing a bit of work to the car, now that I have a bit of time to myself to do it, but I was wondering about fitting mods and the dreaded NCT. Maybe some of the mechanics amongst us would be able to help out with these.
1 - Neons: first of all, which are better, neons or LEDs, I would be thinking neons, but others seem to think LEDs, I know the neon tubes are more fragile, but I think the glow is better. I have a set of purple which I had for my old car but never got around to fitting, does anyone know would a place swop them for blue? Secondly, I know they're not road legal, but can they still be fitted to a car for the NCT, just not turned on?
2 - Flame kit: Where do I get one? Not the little thing that looks like a fart but a proper kit that blows it out maybe 2 to 3 foot, and can they be got in colour. Like blowing out blue flames. I know they use loads of petrol but its something I'd like to try out nevertheless. Secondly, are they easy to remove for the NCT, cause I dont think you can get away with just disconnecting these babies.
3 - Last point, is there anything that can be done to increase the engine horsepower. Yes, I know, fit turbo, fit intercooler, the usual stuff. The cost of these is unreal and to be honest I don't think the FTO has room under the bonnet for anything else! I have the induction kit, the exhaust, she's lowered, good deep tyres, the usual stuff, but none of these add serious bhp to a car.
Any suggestions?
Thanks. Sorry about the long post.
