Air filter in a good position?

[iamjoel]

Not sure if the current set up of the air filter is in a good enough position to take in cold air

I opened the bonnet and it was quite hot so i don't know now

ps. the filter is a pipecross one

You want to get it as far away from the engine as possible, because that is obviously where the heat is coming from.

Looks like it will get quite warm there but shouldn't lose any noticeable power, but you seem to still have your standard filter box on aswell?

I'd cut the battery tray thingy down and buy some pipe and run It over to the ( right ) on the pic in front of the battery like a 172

This is the place where you'll get most power (although you'll probably still be down on power)

However does power really matter on a 1.2? Not for me.

Oh, and get rid of the OEM filter. Looks silly.

it was literally a quick job, just took out the pipe from the stock air box and put it on the new one, i think i'm going to get a pipe, put it next to the battery and run a cold air feed
