What do you think to that?

 

[acidstrato]

honestly...

i think 15bhp is them trying to be funny...
and its alot of money to spend to find it wont fit around the battery and down into the bumper, so unless its intended for the ibiza i would make sure i could get a refund on it

iv compared how tight the carbonio would be on my car cos my mate has one on his mk4, and i dont reckon it would fit without ruining it and without an fmic

iv said a few times, i plan on buying one of the cheap alu cai kits off ebay for the mk4 golf, bin the filter and stick a green one on there...looking at about 60quid then ( or 40 if u used the filter it comes with)

 

[acidstrato]

looked further and can see its for the ibiza...but getting rid of the maf housing...thats interesting

thats well weird...it says theres a sensor in the airbox u gotta reuse....odd

 

[PhilW]

Thats why i posted it carl. Coz its for the ibiza.

Look at the fitting instructions.

 

[Forbez]

Could'nt we speak to Mike and Addo, cos they supply these kinda things.
And could maybe help.

Although im with Carl, i've been looking at the ones on ebay with cheap ass filters. If it doesn't work very well, i'll sell it on!


As for wipers, i just dont think they lived up to how i expected them to be. (And i wasn't expecting miracles!)

 

[acidstrato]

yeah but its wrong...it says theres a maf sensor in the airbox that u have to remove and fit in the intake pipe...

are u gonna get one then?
its alot of money

i say do my idea and see if it works for me

 

[Forbez]

Thats a short kit too, i think i want one in the wing.

 

[acidstrato]

i think its 2 in 1 dude...i read something about in adverse weather conditions u can remove the main pipe and it becomes a short intake

 

[PhilW]

Its the full kit from K&N. CCA.

Might get one made in prospeed.

 

[Forbez]

That'll be a good idea, are you pally with the guy down there then??

 

[acidstrato]

if charlie can beat 40quid for a correctly bent, light weight alu pipe...id be interested in one when i have some spare change

 

[PhilW]

Any links to ones on ebay?

 

[davidol]

pipercross do a carbon fibre version of this, its not as trick in the sense that it retains the orginal MAF housing and it doesnt have a pickup for the secondary air pump hose but it will fit as ive fitted it to a mates ibiza mk3 cupra. Battery has to be slid right the way forward but it will squeeze down the gap in the wing, tasty carbon ram pipe too but £250!
