Just my 2p's worth on air filters, have read that some "oil impregnated" performance air filters can damage the "hot wire" type of air mass sensor as these are very sensetive to contamination. I know this don't apply to the MK2 ;).

Whatever works for you mate! i do wonder where you get your info from.


Common sense chief - I just noticed your impertinent remark.

Where do you GET your info from? Back of a Ripspeed catalogue?

Just wondered mate, but i actually get my info off the back of a cornflakes packet, like you i suspect  ;)

Nah, cornflakes have facts on the back . . .

I bet you've got a great toolbox - nice and shiny.

I didn't actually mean to rude Slim, i was just interested if you do your own work, as you stated that drilling and filters do nothing at all. I wanted to know what you based that on, or what cars you have tried it on.

when did I state that those two particular 'modifications' did nothing at all?


Please read my posts carefully before you jump in with accusations.

I don't think you emphasized the word 'little' enough


It merely makes your car sound louder


like drilling your back box on your mk2 escort back in the day -

 if it adds 1/2 a fallabella pony power I'd be surprised.

Misread your posts ?? i think you need to re-read your posts  ;)

it adds a little to the power if you drill an airbox

like I said - and your point is?
