The 1.6 8v is a bit tricky for IK's iirc...

You'll get it to fit...they only area of difficulty you'll have is matching the neck diameter of the 172 viper to that of you're 8v as they'll differ in size. ...not by that much IIRC from my megane. However, you get round that with some piping and rubber reduction rings on the 8v TB.

anychance of being pointed in the right direction for such things??

 

[u33db]

What, the piping?

You'd ideally want the same piping that connects the viper to a 172 TB - if you can get that you're sorted but if not get up to your scrappy as get something that looks similar. As for reduction rings, something thats in between the viper diameter and the 8v would be great - again, scrappy or some kindof hard wearing foam will sort you. You'll be clamping it down with a jubilee clip onto the 8v TB so it doesn't need to exactly fill the gaps...just enough so it fits well.

ok, so if i could get a silicone elbow that fits my throttle body i'd be ok? oh and who is it that sells them for £20?

 

[u33db]

Yes, as long as it fits over the viper neck.

However, I think you'll have difficulty finding a 8V silicone elbow tho hence why i said use a 172 item and clamp it down onto your 8V TB, possiblly using reduction rings of some sort.
