440 1.8 Si mods?

[Daniel M]

Cheers Mark....
Yours looks pretty tidy too. It`s nice to see some pride taken in an install-my mate in his (Ready...) Fiesta (BOOOO!) has chucked his in. Suits the car though-Erm, crap!

With regards to the Feredo anchors you`ve seen-where did you get them, or do you know the part no`s? Are they just replacement or are they a little bigger? My wheels are nice and big and it would be nice to see some quality stoppers behind them, and they seem reasonably priced too. Oh, and info on the Mintex jobs on the back, a part no would be good too, if you don`t mind? Seems like a very good price all round.

Oh 1995volvo460, i agree about the speakers-unless you make some custom doorbuilds and have two speakers in each front door, sell them on. You wouldn`t hear the benefit-they might even get ruined with the pressure of the subs in the boot. With the regards to the Induction kit, i couldn`t answer that-u need to see a garage unless you know someone who has fitted one themselves. And without sounding like im bragging, the whole system cost me, inc wiring and p+p, around £800. But i did do some serious bargaining on the phone-i got all my stuff mail order as it was loads cheaper than the shops-i think at time of purchase, my Amps were going for about £150ish, but with some haggling, i got them for £95 each! Bargain! If i had got it all from my local ICE dealer, it would have cost me well over a grand. It`s worth shopping!!

Speak soon guys.

It was a Dutch Spec 1.8i Luxury, I guess they were an extra for that car (as I know the previous owner, and I know of the first owner and they are not the kind of people to do mods).

It stopped great when travelling below 160kmph, of simply slowing down, but trying to do 180 to 0 was just not happening.

You got that lot for 800? I'm impressed. I got the Sony MD HU, with the 10 disc changer, a pair of 3 way OEM mount kenwoods for the front and a pair of dual cone kenwoods for the rear and the cheapest I could get (fitted) was 460gbp, and this was about 20% cheaper than elsewhere in the UK, and soo much cheaper than here in Holland that the difference paid for the ferry to and petrol to Leicester...

Thats where i saved a bit of cash-i installed my own system-it took me a week, but it saved me loads!

awrite mark. am new to the forum but your not alone modding your 440, i`ve got a k plate 2.0glt, theres loads of suspension out there, i`ve had "P.I" springs although they didnt last to long theres also "KYB" (kyaba) as well they also do gas uprated shocks to which i have, if you want ajustable or coilovers you`l have to get em shiped from abroad, koni do a full set up for full 400 series.

i want to fit a induction kit to my si 440,now i have a mondeo (sorry for the bad language),it has an induction kit i was thinking of modding it rather than buying a premade one,im a pipe and slippers type of bloke,and the loud earbashing radios went out the window years ago.along with lowering kits.
also looking for alloys to make it look worth nicking.i ahve it in for a powerflow exhaust twin stainless exit whole thing.being an old fart im happy with the standard radio,no discs or ipod or any other biff in view.
