Advice needed!

[STCaulkin]

Got a 172 Cup and got a couple of questions.

I have a £100 voucher for Halfords and I'm not really sure what to spend it on, any advice? I know Halfords is a bit w**k but I don't really want to spend it on cleaning stuff.

I was looking to get an induction kit. Found a K&N one for about £140 odd quid, wondering if anyone has this or a similar one and will it make much if a difference?

Don't really want anything to loud/shouty with my car prefer the subtle and standard look.

Any suggestions welcome!

Why don't you stock up on tools? get tool from there and buy your mods from better places?

This would be the first thing on my list

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_862421_langId_-1_categoryId_255215

That's very cheap at that price, normally they only drop to £99.

What this guy said, utter bargain at that price.

You get lifetime warranty aswell, keep hold of the receipt and when/if any item breaks they will replace free of charge without any quibbles.

That's well worth the money. I've got the 120 piece set and its very good quality.
If you want an induction kit get a decent one that takes the air in away from any engine heat. I had a cone filter on my 172 when I bought the car and it was sat behind the radiator. Consequently it was sucking hot air in all the time.
Halfords pro tools are very strong and I believe they are guaranteed for life.

Bargain toolset! I spent 30 alone on a 1/2 drive thingy the other day.
Then another 10 quid for a T50 bit, oh and £23 for a small set of sockets. As said above, utter bargain.

Thanks for the advice that is a great offer but i have most or all of those tools already! Not sure i would find a use for them. Is there no car parts worth getting from Halfords?

there aint much diff between a 150 filter and a 30 air filter there is a post on here about them...tools are a good buy..or they are doing a good DAB /CD player for 90

I bought this exact kit for £99 and I thought it was a bargain at that price! Great tools. Highly recommended.
