Replaced the silly snout thing on the airbox with a home made velocity stack fashioned from a bit of 40mm plastic pipe, flared out at the end by heating and forming on a salt cellar...cost about £3 from B&Q and I've got enough pipe to make at least 5!

Then I shall send you my address and you can share the joy :b

If you use the standard air box... Drill 1/4" holes in the bottom and at the front... voila car now breaths better, sounds better and it's free

Does this actually work? It just make it breath in warm air?

I thought I read on here somewhere you shouldn't replace the mini fusebox with a blade type fuse box?

You can, but if I remember correctly, blade and glass fuses aren't the rated the same despite their similar markings.

By taking the old bit off and putting that on, what does it do better, i thought it was to take warm air and heat up the engine quicker??

just wondered as i didn't understand if it was a helpful thing to do or not :)

yea , you have to change the rating of the fuses because they are rated differently , there was a post on here somewhere that told you how to do it
