Received my Aluminium Wiechers bottom strut brace (front bottom €52).
Easy to mount it yourself, just make sure there is not tension on the front wheels.My car has 30mm lowering springs, I have about 10cm ground clearance left. Be careful with those in the middle of the road speed bumps.

I've been thinking to change my K&N 57i kit to a closed airbox kit to get colder air to the engine.
The K&N kit is nice but sucking warm air on top of the engine isn't very optimal.
This kit takes the air straight from the radiator opening in the front bumper. It transports the cold air straight to the engine trough an carbon airbox from Pipercross.
The airbox used is from Pipercross and is called Viper. We added a few parts to make it fit on the 107.
The pipes are nicely mounted on the engine and unable to move or rub against anything.
his is the testsetup, we are going to make it a bit nicer with nice pipes and braces so it doesn't look like a home made kit.

My order has arrived at De Snelle Leeuw. All new C1Cup Manifold and exhaust.
UPDATE
Kit is installed. Looks good, nice quality, fits pretty good (except the holes on the manifold need to be adjusted a little). You don't have to take your front bumper of to install.
My initial thoughts.
Rear silencer is really quiet. It's sounds nice and sporty but very social.
For the dutch readers.
I'll put all info on de Citybugclub forum (need to be a member first) when I have some time.
UPDATE 1
Price update.
Manifold - €199
Middle pipe - ?
Exhaust - ?
When available orders can be shipped internationally.
UPDATE 2
- Yesterday my engine light went on, I had it checked and it looks like this sports Cat is on the limit of what the Computer allows. So no problem just a Cat sensor.
I am checking if the chip people can fix this in the computer.
UPDATE 3
Did a dyno run today.
Here are the results
80.6BHP @ 5665RPM - 119Nm @ 2942RPM that about 5-6HP increase.
A bit weird as the dyno run after chiptuning (few months ago) is much higher.
But today's data look much more realistic.
Next Dyno (19-9-2009) run is without the manifold and exhaust, on the same dyno. This will give us something to compare and will tell us what the Manifold and exhaust actually adding.

UPDATE 5
We've fixed the Cat. I've been in contact with the fabricator in Italy through a contact from C1 Aygo 107 Club Italy, we've moved the sensor to the back of the Cat and it seems to be working. A bit stupit that it was something as simple as that. I made a trip of 310Km today and the engine light did not switch on.
