Is there much difference in performance?

Oh right cool, i went to my local mod shop today n should be able to get panel filter and induction kit for about 130..but may just get panel filter, that will cost 50 the car im getting is the 1.6 16v! 

Cant wait!!

You can't put a panel filter AND an induction kit on! It's a one or the other situation as the induction kit replaces your standard airbox!   

Get the panel filter! The induction kit may sound louder (like mine does ) but after a year i can confirm it gives no improvement of power that you can feel really so why bother?

Really i should swap back to my standard airbox, but.. i just can't help my smiles with my window down, low revs, foot to the floor in a tunnel! Personal amusement only you understand, i don't do it look hard!

I don't think it is somehow.

Thats the 100bhp engine.

You mean the 105bhp engine 6

The 8v 1.6 mkIV produces 100bhp, looking at one for the missus tomorrow night.
Was going for the 16v but there are reports that the valve train is proving unreliable. For the sake of 5bhp we are getting her an 8v now instead.

Ok, didn't know that one  :embarassed:
The 2.0 8v is only 115bhp, not much difference between all of them then.

gotta love it when i'm being a skim-reading f**ksock.

Hmm yeah thats why im kinda drawn to the induction kit.. i love the 'humming' sound lol jsut dont want it to sound to OTT, liek when your walking through town and you hear this really loud car you turn round and its a granada or something with the driver wearing a burberry cap lol.

yeah im getting the 1.6 16v 105bhp yeah i was suprised when i read about the 2.0 being 115bhp!

Like i said earlier.. i think? i can get the induction kit for 80quid and the panel filter for 50 im tempted to go with the induction kit but hmm... im not sure..
