Updates to Maggie Micra!

[Adamm]

Hey guys and girls! Haven't done a proper post for a little while. But has been a busy week for the Micra! Firstly had the sills and cross member weilded up, booked Maggie in for an mot and passed with only one minor, which was a tyre close to the legal limit so just had that replaced. done a bit of spray painting along the bottom to hide the grey stripe, think it looks so much better all black. Then today I fitted a ram air induction kit, have heard many mixed reviews about induction kits and such stuff but I personally think it's done the car alot of favours! Definitely sounds better. Then just gave her a good wash and shine have got a few pictures of bits from the week but I apologise about the horrible hub caps, enjoy!

Looking clean!

Out of interest, are the Ram Filters just Foam? or do they have some mesh on the inside? I'm trialing a el-cheapo enclosed cone right now, not paying expensive till I know how well they perform

There's a few mm of soft foam but then it's all metal mesh underneath, well I'm very pleased with mine

The filters that sit on top of the TB do give the best sound.
I had a K&N that was similar but I noticed flat spots throughout the rev range.

Like many on here I settled for the enclosed GA16 airbox and snorkel.

Ah I see! I haven't had any problems yet it does sound good though, I've got a flexihose to add yet to force the air in but unsure of where to put it, any ideas?
