    I know, hence saying use the route finder. Glasgow with all the one way systems is quite complicated, and there is quite a few ways to go to it ! For me its easy 3 streets and im on the right road ! its really walking distance from me ! (20 min walk)

    Not really into cruising, too much trouble and too much police attention. Sometime i go to Scottish Vag meets (which are monthly) and a few other events like Crail or Knockhill. I used to do the whole cruise scene but that was about 6 years ago and never have done since then !

    I prefer to go to Dub related events over the country ! Good shows and excellent Road Trips (Depending who your in convoy with ! and if they go over 60mph ! ! ! No Names !)

    how much is a K&N? ive heard a few bad things about piperx

    on here, TSC has a bad opinion of them because of a 20 year old filter he had fell apart

    some guy with an 1.8t had one "fall apart" but he cant/wont show pics so cant tell if it should be taken seriously

    i had a J&R cotton filter in my box (came with the car). i didnt like it because between the weave of the cotton you could see like 1mm square holes... so didnt filter much at all

    K&N is about 50, if TSC is complaining about a filter thats 20 year old I would say thats good going ! I hope my car will last another 20 years. I have heard some good some bad. I think its the case of having to take care of it

    I just went up one day to get something and got lost.
    I dont mind going to the car cruz, i go just to get a laugh with some friends and some of the cars. But also go to check out the nice cars. I would like to go up to knockhill sometime cause ive never been before. Is it any good?

    k&n panel filter, remove the hot air feed pipe from the exhaust manifold and re-route it to the front of the car with a scoop (thats my next plan anyway!)
