loads of things :p

anything with a hole thats long enough to go to the carb, unless you want to go posh and buy the K&N 'heat' kit for about ?20 which is just a bit of chub :wink:

[MattNova]

[General Baxter]

do you have one of these then? are they worth getting?

[General Baxter]

nope i dont have one, i use a bit of hover pipe, does the same job and looks the same :P in the 1.3 that is :wink:

see look im being helpfull today, not just being a knob

[MattNova]

so what does it do?? does it wrap rount the front of the filter or sumfin n shield it from the cold? :?

[hendrix]

would putting a standard airbox back on make any difference??
Where do u put the pipe into to get the heat and where do u put it to for the K and N??

dont wana put the origional box back on

[General Baxter]

when you took your orginal airbox off there should have been a bit of 'silver; pipe running from the zorst manifold, there is a little braket (see it in the picture) you should all ready have one on the car unless you have taken it off, the pipe just goes onto that and up the the filter,

so the warm 'heat' goes from the manifold though the pipe up to the filter warming it :wink:

[hendrix]

is the bracket on the manifold?? i seem to remember something like that

[General Baxter]

yeah its on the manifold,

if you look at the picture of the kit, it kinda looks like that!

me helpy helper today :lol:

[General Baxter]

hendrix - i dont you should need one as your car is injection :?:
