I have seen these pastel ones in packs of 3 but want 2 black ones, can't seem to find anywhere online. Has anyone else got this problem or found some place to get them? Thanks Guys. </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4702#post-19547 Thu, 17 May 2012 18:51:16 +0000 little_fil 19547@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>Forgot to mention, an induction kit (cold air intake) will make a much bigger difference in sound as they have a much larger surface area meaning they can allow for much greater air-flow and density. They give a more sporty sound but for a couple of extra HP you need to shield them from any heat and try to route a cold air feed to it from the grille or bumper. I know someone however who drove through a large puddle at night and the filter sucked a load of water in which couldnt compress obviously, and so he bent a conrod. For this reason and the standard air box being a good heat shield, i use the pannel filters. </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4441#post-19546 Thu, 17 May 2012 18:29:43 +0000 Saveloy Nights 19546@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>Hey there, thanks for your post on my thread earlier. I have some badboy wheels on that someone fitted before I bought my cube and they are stupidly low profile. Do you still have any of these sets of wheels available? My MOT advice note mentioned that 2 of my tyres are getting low and I'm tempted at this stage to just replace the full set of wheels/tyres rather than buy new tyres for my alloys. As you know I'm based locally. Cheers! </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4702#post-19544 Thu, 17 May 2012 17:35:26 +0000 little_fil 19544@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>I've got the K&amp;N pannel filter. Makes my exhaust sound abit nicer and more 'barbly' but i doubt you'd notice much on a standard pipe. You wont get any power gains. Maybe very subtle high up the rev range. Only application these make extra ponies is with forced induction. My old turbo got an extra lease of life. Only thing it'll do to a naturally aspirated block is change the sound of the exhaust, providing you already have an uprated/modified one, or your engine is screaming! Otherwise, they're pretty pricey for not much return. </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4702#post-19542 Thu, 17 May 2012 16:14:38 +0000 Tazbert 19542@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>Been having a read through of some old threads on here as I've been thinking about improving the performance a snot and also maybe getting a little bit better MPG out of the old shed.</p> <p>From what I could gather, seems that the general concensus was getting a good quality replacement panel style filter (ie. Your K&amp;N's of the world) to replace the standard one was better than an induction kit as the former was cheaper and did exactly what the latter did for half the price. </p> <p>Correct?</p> <p>Fankoo for your time. &lt;img src=&quot;http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4701#post-19541 Thu, 17 May 2012 15:49:32 +0000 Saveloy Nights 19541@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>Thanks PeeShooter and Tazbert!

Gave 'em to my mechanic man and he fitted them. Bam. Done.</p> <p>My parts cost £30+vat each, but the old man knows the bloke, so I think we may have got mates rates! I'd say expect about £40-50+vat per side. Apparently, you can do the actual ball joints themselves but they cost about £30 themselves and can be a total bastard to swap.</p> <p>My thread on this is here if you want a read: <a href="http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/3781" rel="nofollow">http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/3781</a></p> <p>HTH! </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4701#post-19539 Thu, 17 May 2012 15:36:02 +0000 PeeShooter 19539@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>Air and oil filter are from a micra k12 brake discs are from a clio 1.4 the pads are from a nissa car not to shore </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4701#post-19538 Thu, 17 May 2012 15:13:14 +0000 Saveloy Nights 19538@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>No joy for the parts I need on that site, the hunt goes on.

There are a few bits that I can sort such as rear fog lamp not working and front brake binding but I could really do with some help in sourcing parts for the other fail items.</p> <p>Nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover excessively deteriorated. I guess it will be easier to replace the whole ball joint than source the dust cover but I have spent ages on Google without much luck and would really appreciate being pointed in the right direction to buy this part. The advisory note on the MOT says the Offside is deteriorated too but not letting dirt in yet, however I might as well replace them both at the same time.</p> <p>Also Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle was excessive and caused a failure mark on the MOT. Any tips for how to resolve this before the re-test? Was thinking of changing oil and air filters and putting some redex through to clear the system - apart from this I have no idea how to improve the emmissions.</p> <p>Im new to this forum and do love my Cube - I just didn't bank on how tricky it would be to source parts for it!</p> <p>Many thanks for reading. </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4687#post-19533 Thu, 17 May 2012 12:32:54 +0000 CUBED 19533@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>ooh i do like that. &lt;img src=&quot;http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/3762/page/5#post-19532 Thu, 17 May 2012 12:31:24 +0000 CUBED 19532@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>M6 J2 would be good for me too. &lt;img src=&quot;http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4699#post-19531 Thu, 17 May 2012 10:58:01 +0000 toaster 19531@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>weekend i sor two cube3 one silver gray .and latter a white one with a garage sigage all over it in suffolk so i am not alone in this part of the world<br /> .......ITS RUDE TOO POINT ........ </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4520#post-19530 Thu, 17 May 2012 10:14:35 +0000 PeeShooter 19530@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>Is it like Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh lol </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4520#post-19529 Thu, 17 May 2012 08:39:05 +0000 little_fil 19529@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>Yep, they are the belts i bought and thats the site i bought them from. I will just point out and repeat what i said earlier, i replaced mine only to have the sqeeking return until the engine got up to temp and i put this down to dirty pulley's, however, i just performed an oil change with some 5W30 and drained the old thick, black oil. 'VOILA' sqeek has gone. The oil was obviously too thick when cold. Remember there are multiple possibilities for everything. </p>
