No mate behind the headlight is the best place as gets plenty of air from wheel arch. Just make sure you have a type 63 battery so the air filter fits

have you got any pictures of this set up mate?
It's exactly the same parts as fatty except for a black silicone elbow matey. Can get a pic up later if needed
no im saying it will fit even better :smile:
bore sizes are all the same, i was talking about the overall size of the filter.
the filter you linked was a bit bigger, just wanted to see how it fitted, if you could get a pic would be appreciated!
Will post again with my feedback on it!

My filter has just turned up. It looks quite small, well smaller than i expected.
photo? its should be 2.5cm smaller at the wide end (but the same at the bottom end), and 5.5cm smaller in length than the one in the pic? take a pic of it in the area it is going to go, you should be able to get it in there without is touching anything (which is a problem with the one in the OP as it got damaged by rubbing on everything).
Let us know how it.is.once fitted sound / performance etc
@imprezaworks when do I get to see the new motor

Clio 182, Supra RZ
mine came today aswell... looked at the size of the box gave it a shake and was like thats a lot of empty space? i cant tell weather its pre oiled or not seems very dry although the plastic neck does seem greasy.
the manufacture process apparently replaces the oil when new, so no oil needed (according to the RAMAIR website). yes they are very light!

That sounds bloody amazing. If I hadn't already promised to take Chris Beer's BMC CDA box I'd be all over this!
Its obviously more exaggerated in the first video as its right next to the camera, but yes it does sound pretty awesome (for a 1*2) :smile: I love the sound it makes when you first push the accelerator or blip the peddle (can hear it just as I pull away on first video and when I change down sometimes).
post a pic of it in the area its going to go?
ah ok. I'm dying to see how they fit / look behind the headlight!
fitting instructions btw:
(1) put filter in position behind headlight (and under the negative battery lead)
(2) connect alloy pipe to rubber elbow on engine side - don't tighten
(3) fit alloy pipe into filter, making sure you have the jubilee clip in place already
(4) line everything up then tighten jubilee clips
(5) secure filter around the jubilee clip area to car body with a cable tie
If you're doing this, might as well take out the acoustic valve for better airflow too.
I have the same setup but the bigger filter so will pop a pic up later
Would this make any diff

need to take the passenger side wheel off and arch lining to remove the acoustic valve, then block up the vacuum pipe that connects to it.
there's a few guides on the forum
I took mine out whilst I had the front bumper off for something else, so you could do it that way too.
If you've removed the standard airbox and pipe work, the acoustic valve does literally nothing. It was only there to reduce induction noise in the first place in line with EU regulations afaik.
