Air Filter

Well my first mod is the induction kit, got a universal cone from my mate and a few bits of rubber piping and a few jubilee clips and its complete. I used the original cold air feed for the air box as the cold feed for the filter, gives the car a bit more grunt when driving about, heres a few pics of the kit and the car in general.

Wouldn't be too worried how to looks, more worried about the way it filters air. What make is it?

Dono wat make it is, thers no name on it! It filters air fine, its jus like your normal k&n except it has a plastic cover round it!

How do you what the filteration is like? Also if it has plastic cover round it wouldn't that restric the air going in? Where you have the plastic cover, the K&N is all open (to air).

If the filteration is good enough for a cosworth its good enough for the micra FFS! The cover covers the filter, and doesnt touch it! The air can still flow as freely into the filter, except the filter is coverd by the plastic cover!

Oh right i see. Just because its good enough for a cosworth (err! ford!) doesn't mean it willl be for a micra! well as long as your happy with it!

The 'plant pot' is supposed to keep air cold, as long as there is a decent enough supply of air going to it it shouldn't restrict perfromance
