its a MK1 clio 1.4 rt, now i was talking to the owner and he mentioned something about you cant put the induction kit where it should go cause of the bonnet n water gettin on it and will flood it, but something about a relocation pipe which moves it down and out of the way and into the engine, can you guys please help me, i dont know what im looking for so some websites or places to go would be great thanks

nice looking ride

the bloke appears to be talking like a pleb!most induction kits are fitted car specific so just look up your car on k&n or green or something!

either that or by the pipes and filter seperate and freestyle it

that big oval plastic bit is you filter it will be a circular filter

to replace it you may have to use a mushroom filter instead

but i have the 16v bonnet with the hole, so water will get thru, will that not effect it or does it not matter it it gets wet, its there any kinda of cover i could buy for a mushroom filter??

i suppose it would on rainy days/ washing car!

you may be able to fit a sort of drip tray to prevent it landing on the filter

either that or modify the existing air box

christ.
the 16v vent is directly above the airbox, if i had an open induction kit there it wouldn't be long before water got in.

Ian, you can use the air filter pipe from a laguna 1.8 spi which will bolt straight onto the t/b and then you can put a filter onto the end of that, i will find you an example.

Enjoy the car ian
