Quite liking the look of the NB I've always said louder and lower and I'll have myself a fun daily.
BC's BR range took care of the lowness while adding more to the handling than I had anticipated.
A filter and silicon elbow gave a little more induction noise. But that was never going to be enough so...
Off came the weighty back box, which did the trick. These two mods gave a little more throttle response too which was an added bonus.
Then it was time to lose some more unnecessary components mainly the carpet and sound deadening. Unfortunately to get the carpet out in one piece the dash needed to come out.
So out it came.
And all the interior went back in minus quite a few kg's of comfort.
My most recent purchase was a hardtop which after a little prep work was put to work keeping the rain out.
The next thing on the list of things to do are all rather expensive so maybe the Cortina might get a couple of weekends with the spanners.
