Cliobon, PM me if you get it; I am really interested to know what kind of difference it would make to performance/sound on a car that isn't a RS model.

 

[cliobon]

ok ok, i sure some cliosport peeps can tell you, hey any you guys brought this before http://www.potn.co.uk/-_c5206_3850_3851_3874_p1521278.htm, they have it on special offer for 80 plus a free cold air feed,

what you lot reckon

Wether you opt for a panel filter , induction kit ...... , at the end of the day it is exactly what it says it is , a " filter " , filtering all the fine particles of dirt out of the air.

From my understanding, these stainless filters aren't up to the job as a cotton or foam filter .

I'd rather opt for something like this :

ITG rock

 

[Tigger]

ITG make a panel filter for the dci 80 ?

 

[Dave.]

Not that i know of bud.........

 

[Neil G]

Went with a green one in the end as a lot of people I know run them on high performance cars with good results.

Think a K&N would be just as good along with the ITG.

I've also heard talk of the stainless mesh ones not being great at filtering small particles out of the air.

 

[Dave.]

and if you get a dodgy one you have the risk of little shards of metal breaking off....

i know id rather have a little bit of paper or foam go thru mine rather than a chunk of metal!!

 

[Neil G]

Good point.

I ran a Blitz filter on my old car (steel mesh cone) without any problems though but I suppose I couldn't see any damage that might have been occuring inside the engine due to particles getting through.

Bon u fool stop trying to compete with me and Gem! lol im sure a filter will be fine! tho u need to lose the 17's before you can realli match either of us on pace! well next time you see me i should have the viper fitted!

Take care people!

i know id rather have a little bit of paper or foam go thru mine rather than a chunk of metal!!

saying that tho, i had a k and n, and a bunch of tar and stuff went down my inlet pipe from whatever they use to stick the chrome bit on top of the cotton mesh bit.
