hi

right.. being the run up to christmas im skint.. but need to improve my 1.2 8v badly!! even if it makes a better tone i will do it!

right i know about cutting the limiter inside the air box and drilling it but what else can i do that doesnt cost more than a few quid??!!

as i said it can be just to make it sound better or actulaly improve it!!

thanks

cutting the limiter? whats that

inside the airbox theres a funnel type thing that curls at the end... this can be removed (poped out, not cut)
so the air being drawn into the engine is more!

safe thanks man stick a k&n filter panel in there, induction and then think about a bore exhaust.

wouldlike to know more about popped the curly thing inside the air intake???

yeah, i saw it when i was drillin the air box does it just pop straight out.

can we get some pictures up to give us a idea?? will this work on a 1.0l 12v?

yep... i will take and add pics tomorrow!!
ive just been for a drive and the acceleration is much better!!

heres a step by step guide how to do it... ill post pics ASAP

1. disconect the intake tube from the airbox..
2. take the top of the air box off
3. you should see a tube inside the airbox which has a outward rolled end.. this pushes out
4. simply push it out...
5. put it all back together!

this makes the intake tube more easier for air to get through as its got a bigger end...
more air = more petrol going in = more faster etc..

this is really simple to do.. it took me 5 minutes! and it does work...

also consider drilling holes in the bottom of the air box for the extra noise!
remember
smaller holes give a more deaper sound and bigger holes give a more raspy induction sound

had ago at taking the airbox couldnt even remove it howdoes it come off? 2 clips then what?

its just the top of the airbox....
theres 2 clips on one side. take theses of then remove the intake hose then it pops up on the side of the clips..
real easy.. but theres like a latch on the other side. just lift iit from the side of the clips and you'll see

ill have alook tomorrow to dark and all the chavs are out on the feild obsite

o and get me some pictures!!!!
