Daniel M's FR PD170 - Fixed 24.07.2017

- Start date
Was bored so went to Euro Car Parts and got a Honda S2000 air filter to try for a laugh. Was only £11.
Sounds very weird when fitted but sort of nice lol.
Needs an additional silicone hose to extend it past the engine cover. Have refitted the OEM airbox for now.

Well today I fitted the S2000 filter properly with an 83mm diameter 45 degree silicone hose and made a little place for the vac line to sit in, using a sawn off end of a bic biro.
Here's a photo and video of the sound.

Won't be to everyone's taste but I can easily change it back if/when I decide I don't like it anymore lol.

Great job mate. I'd assume the 45 degree bend would be the same size for the 140bhp 2.0 tdi engine? Fancy an induction kit for mine might have to copy you ha.
Thanks mate.
In terms of detailing, always use the 2 bucket method when washing and a wash mitt of some kind. A claybar or clay mitt will make the surface very smooth and get rid of any bonded on contaminants, also finish off with a decent polish and then wax/sealant to protect the finish. Theres plenty of products for the black trims, currently I use Autoglym trim gel but there are better ones out there like gtechniq permanent trim restorer.
I use Valet Pro snow foam with my nilfisk power washer an foam lance.

Any new updates on her mate
Nothing for a while unfortunately bud
Just got a new house and getting married in 7 weeks so moneys been tight lately.
Next thing is cambelt and service after the wedding. Also been thinking about getting a comfier estate car. Wouldn't be for a while yet, so hopefully get some H&R's on her soon
How's yours Craig?
Brilliant mate congratulations on house and the wedding day will be the best day of your life
Yes get her lowered as a gift to yourself for all the saving and hard work it takes to do what you've done.
All good Dan cheers I've just done an update if you fancy a read/comment

Thought I would update the thread with what should be happening over the next few weeks/months.
As I've just been married and moved into a new house the FR has been slightly neglected of late, but that should change soon.
First off is a service which I should have done next weekend. Then once some cheques have cleared I will book it in for it's cambelt.
After that I will need to replace one of the wheel bearings, sure its one of the rears that's gone.
This weekend I should take receipt of some H&R springs as a mate bought some but then sold his FR so said I could have them (They're still new and not used).
Then I will purchase the cheap splitter mod thats mentioned in the MK2 section.
Also need to replace the front discs and pads as they've not been touched in the 3 years I've had the car.
I think I'll keep the FR for another year then look to upgrade to something bigger and comfier.

£70!!!?
Bargain! Car will sit nicely on them. Which cheap splitter mod are you after? The one DanFR posted? If so I'm also interested.
Congratulations on the marriage and move Dan that's ace buddy.
Great to see you've still got plans for your mk2 and finally treating yourself to some H&R's good stuff she will look spot on with them

Yeah thats the one. Not sure how much difference it will make on a black car but was only £10 after some discount on eBay.
Couldnt turn the springs down for that money lol

Cheers Craig, yeah she will look better once they're on.
Everything I want/need doing is going to be close to a £1k but she shouldnt need much else for a while afterwards. (fingers crossed)
