That ebay link one is the same airbox and MAF sensor as mine which is a 1997 8v AGG engine with an Hitachi MAF !! Though why the listing says VR6 I don't know as it won't be the right one for a VR6 !!

Very interesting guys.  All help and no sarcasm...have I got the right forum?

The missus is pulling her hair out with my lack of success buying parts from eBay and the forum (don't even get me started on the fcuker who ripped me off £40.00 for a pair of broken headlights who's now disappeared from all sight), but I'd really like to get this done prior to MOT in November.

Balls....

anyone want to buy an Airbox for a 2E engine??

No way of modifying it for the Hitachi or shall I just put it back onto eBay?

how much are you after for it, the box fitted to my wifes car has been mullered by some idiot who decided to drill it for that extra chav roar!

Ideally I want to recover what I paid so £25 including postage. Unfortunately the one for agg on ebay is collection only so might have phone round local scrappers when I'm back from my stag do.

Cool.I'm only trying to get back what I paid. It all looks in pretty good nick,but the pics are pretty clear if you want to check. It'll back on ebay if I don't hear from you by the weekend. Cheers

Right

Have now bought an airbox from an AGG engine and will fit it in the next couple of days.  I asked the guy who I bought it off if he had the 2 small bore pipes that are attached tot he box but he didn't.  Are they 100% vital (considering my K & N doesn't have them at all)?  And if I were to replace them would everything work better?  I intend on smoothing the inside of the box but that might have to wait until I'm back from my wedding and honeymoon as I have other pressures on my head at moment.  I also need my MOT done as soon as I get back so might leave the drilling etc til I get my ticket back too  :wink:
