Got one at last but need some help

[Simon Davis]

Hi after a long time looking for a vrs i have finally brought one.

Ok ok its has done 132k but for 1100 pounds i couldnt walk away i sold my scooby at the weekend so had a load of cash burning a hole in my pocket lol .

She drives like a dream but does need a full service and cambelt which im booking in for a change today i will try to upload some pics of the car tonight

All i can say is i think its a bargin with fsh and loads of bills its a lovely car but could do with a bit more roar lol so i was thinking about a cone filter can anyone tell me what the small hose is that runs from the air box down to the front of the car its not the maff sensor can i just get rid of it or does it need to be relocated thanks guys

[missingmyvrs]

its the secondary air intake

you can remove the complete system plenty of guids on here not hard just time consuming

if you want to add a few bhp's give me a shout ;-)

all the best

Cheers clive thats what i was looking for god you guys are quick top site.

so i cant just bolt a filter onto the maff with a heat shield ?

[fredbloke]

yeah like mine. a good diverter valve will give you a bit of a whoosh with a cone filter too.

if its noise you want then ok but if its poke you want then leave std airbox in and get a kandn pannel filter in it and a forge or compbrake dv for the noise.

a good cat back for some added worbble.

welcome to the club mate.

dont put a cone on it unless you put a cold air pipe on too and if you get the ebay one like i have and tart it up you get the sai pipe off it too.
