are these basically the same as the bolt-on and cone ones? just i cant find anythinh else for my 1l that would fit

or would i just have to go the "bodge way"?
take the plastic pipe bit off, like below so its stumpy:

then remove the round air filter, and fit a cone one to the stumpy bit?

i have one of those still bolted to my engine outside...


but your not having it!

you could do as you've listed above, just get a bit of rubber intake pipe off one of them many cars you get your hands on and place the airfilter in front of the strut.

just a thought, can you not find an spi top hat bit to fit your car? i.e from cav 1.8's etc


edit--the in airbox ones are listed as "filterchargers" i believe, as oppose to a cone style "induction filter"

[Dave.]

noen of them fit dude, tried everything from corsa ones to cavaleir, tigra etc, its smaller than a 1/2 one


go on,s ell me it, give you a standard filter lol

[Asa-James]

i've got loads of them as well! i got mine on ebay for a fiver a coupla years back, wheather it helps or not...

and give k&n a ring tomorrow, there only based in warrington

[Dave.]

will do :thumb:

do they increase air intake and make the engine sound any better? or are they simply a replacement filter?

[Asa-James]

supposed to increase airflow, and possibly a little more noise, you'd get more noise making an induction kit, or leaving the original filter in and drilling holes round the outside of the pan. with a 1ltr in i wouldnt be too fussed about a cold air feed, but you could plumb one in if you wanted to

[John]

why not just fir the small type k&n, and do away with the bin lid bit altogether?

[AlexW]

Just taking off the small bit and leaving it stumpy (with the standard filter) will make it sound better and inprove the airflow at least a little bit.

Better option on a 1.0 is to change the engine lol

but to be honest its about as much use as a plasticene dildo..

there will be a very small performance increase
