no airfiler!!! what!!!!

[MOFO]

some fella came to work this morning in his 1.2 16v clio,
pulled into the carpark and it sounded beefy as fook, had a quick look and there was just the standard exhaust, as he was reversing he was revving the b****cks out of it and i though its too throaty to be a I.K.

When i asked him what it was he said he had taken the air filter out of the air box and put tights over the hole then put airbox back on,

was a right old bodge job but did sound awsom,

has any1 else done this and will his car engine not get clogged up with s**t?

exactly what i thought,

does sound good though, fella is a bit of a mug aswell, had a 106 with no airbox on or I.K,

IT WAS A 1.4 QUICKSILEVER, HE ONLY HAD IT ABOUT 3MONTHS, WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO IT LOL

LOL exactly mate.

Air filters are there for a reason at the end of the day. You don't want all the dirt getting into your engine. Its not good news ultimately. A pair of tights doesn't offer the kind of filtration that an air filter does.

Just think about if its wet and if water goes up his air intake..... water + engine = BANG!

If water goes up the intake with the air filter on it'll still go bang. We found that out in my mates 1.2 16v wen we drove thru a ford and the engine hydraulic locked.

I must live in a clean area cos on the 1.2 theres never any s**t in the airfilter no matter how long its left on, and on my valver I had a cold air feed in the foglight hole and the air filter in that is always clean.
