Not sure if I\'ve seen one. I agree its not a bad idea though.. Would suit your corsa.

To be honest, I\'d be amazed if u bleached one successfully.

If u buy a cheap cone, and spray it, primer, paint, and laquer will add Â£12 to the cost. Not bad. Add a mixed pack of wet and dry paper (Â£4) and a bit of time, and bobs your uncle, a race X one would look fine (for a while) and a good looking paint job could be achieved.

Cheap option is to sandpaper one to really rought it up and then spray on 3 or 4 coats of paint, roughing it up, washing it and drying again before the 2nd and 3rd coat. This is the cheapest way, and in no way my prefered method of spraying and certainly not any good for interior or bodywork spraying. Just wanted to make that clear...

If you\'ve never spray painted with cans U2U me with any Q\'s...

Good luck.

We know what your spending your bank holiday doing now!!

you could always get one of those new k&n jobbies with the viper style enclosure in silver or in any colour really and paint it white

The chrome would be easier to cover. It should be fine in normal paint- its only getting warm, not hot in engine bay terms.

Stick with a panel filter. My GSi ran really badly with a K&N induction kit on, uneven power curve etc. Runs perfectly now with panel filter in.

You might be ok if its an 8v, but if its a 16v stay clear of indution kit (unless its a sealed kit such as a Pipercross Viper which should feed correct amount of cold air etc).

Just put my air box and panel filter back in, has got rid of the flat spot which the induction kit caused, but i miss the roar!

[quote=\".\"]i found a max power vortex induction kit with the outer housing for about Â£15! comes in red, blue and chrome, think i should bother getitng one and spraying the case white? if i do this would i need to use heat proof paint?[/quote]it is one with a housing earl
where did you find that sim? and i also think normal paint should be ok cos lets face it the underside of the bonnet gets as warm as the airbox/induction kit and thats just normal paint

The ones with the housing around the filter (where you can\'t actually see the filter itself) will be better than a normal induction kit (such as a K&N etc), but won\'t be as good as a fully enclosed kit such as a Viper etc. If you do decide to run an induction kit try and make up a heat shield to go around teh filter on the engine side and best to run a cold air feed from the grill or bumper to get as much cold air to it as possible.

Dan: I miss the roar of a K&N too, but surely its much better to have smooth power delivery!

good old ebay, i\'ve got my eye on a few of the old ps2\'s now that the slimline one has come out the big ones are going cheap as chips (even tho chips arnt that cheap round here) shame lcd screens cost so bloody much or i\'d stick one in the dash and hook up the ps2 altho i have found some 1.8\" lcd\'s for not much but i dont think you\'d be able to play san andreas on a screen that small
