na man im talkin about the filters PVD or k&N?/ would any of ya know?

what better performence bfo cone or k&n? im thinkin of gettin a bfo cos ive got a k&n and the lasts few months its bein sounding like a bag of bollacks.

are you sure its not usign more fuel because your constantly flooring it in order to hear the drilled airbox noise?

pvd filter a=or k&N!! cheers

Ive got drilled with standard filter, and it does me..... should really get the PVD filter but never seem to get round to ordering it.

ive got drille airbox wiv panal filter. . i could do 130 to £10 if i fill up as soon as it goes red.

so what ya sayin guys? stay with drilled airbox and but k&n replacement filter? or go for BFO cone with enclosed cold air feed!!! dunno i got a drilled wit standard filter at the mo

Stick with the airbox chris, it does the job ;)

im thinking about getting a pipercross viper thing.. will this use n e more fuel?

I have a drilled airbox and the car uses the same fuel amount as before :D

My drilled airbox is louder and the engine is more responsive than my old Piper X ever was. I would defo' drill the air-box mate as a BFO will take in 2 much hot air, its also free to do and if want an after-market filter the K&N one is £35. Thats what I've got.;):thumbs:

corsri_bt i have no drill box tho lol, im thinking of getting bfo cone instead..will it affect my fuel econ any more lol, im on about 30mpg

to fill the hole, culd i just put some cardboard or plastic ova the hole?

the twin port uses less fuel when the revs are low and when the revs get higher another port opens or something and more air goes in giving more performance or something along those lines vauxhall told me. i think i will try another tank with it and see what happens. on the very first air box i drilled i filled some of the wholes in as i put a few in the wrong place since it cant b seen it dont matter what you use. Overton dismantilers tried to charge me £25 for a corsa c air box but i said i could get it for £20 from vauxhall and i got it for £15 dont know what vauxhall would charge but i would think it would be alot more. when i drilled the airbox on my sxi 1.2 it didnt effect the fuel at all

anyone know how much a new airbox is. or could i fill the hole i made in somehow?

yer i fink mines doing the same, used to get 50 miles per £5, now im gettin 35ish.

funny you should say that i had apiper x filter on my c and it used loads of fuel.so took it off and put standard filter back on and it's gone back to normal don't use hardly any fuel

its a 1.4 16v twinport btw any suggestions?

i think the car is using way too much petrol! Car is now 2 weeks old and covered just over 900 miles already :( so its nearly run in. On my way home from dundee i filled it up with a full tank of BP Ultimate. I did 110 miles and then the needle was on the 3/4 mark on the dash. Now i put a full tank of shell normal fuel in on sunday morning and drilled my air box on monday night. Not got a panel filter yet but i have done 120 miles since and used 1/2 a tank! I havnt been driving any differently but its used well more since i drilled it. I am gonna see how many miles i can get to this tank and then decide what to do.
