	It was never a panel filter tho. I will be adding a Courtney Sport Panel Filter to my current set up soon though. It was this: Yes that may have looked prettier, but this is a better mod I'm afraid. So many people seem to talk utter rubbish sometimes on here! :\|

	how is it a bodge mod? I have absolutely no problems with it at all. In fact looks very much like the bottom of my airbox, which transformed my car!

	heat soak, and any random shit that is floating around your engine bay well get sucked in. definatly, as you said, a bodge mod. should have left as was with panel filter.

	quote: Originally posted by Dave A it will be fine. wont do much unless you get a cold air feed up the hole, but wont affect any sensors or engine. THANK YOU!!!! Finally!! Atm, Im just glad its got noise, but I will look into running a cold air feed to it too :)

I run my car without any filters at all sometimes. when it does have the filters on, I never oil them, just clean them regularly

	The hole sits above the wing/wheel arch which has a wheel arch trim. It then has an air filter and various other pipes etc to get past before it will cause trouble, so Im afraid Im not in agreement. I dont see how its any different to sticking an induction kit on tbh :\|

	surely if you get things kicked up in the engine bay your in trouble. [Edited on 30-07-2006 by Corsa E-Tec]

	:\| I did it on my previous B and that was fine, and as said, have run a universal induction kit for 3k miles and nowt went pop then either :boggle: Oh well, :lol: I'll have to see. Sounds better than the previous sewing machine noise neway!

	Well never had any problems with my universal air filter strapped on to it! As said, Im trying to obtain a 1.8 backbox etc anyway, so will get another airbox to fit at some point.

	You'll fcuk your AFM doing thing's like that. :\|

	Got bored of my not very loud air filter I had on my car so decided to remove it and cut up the original airbox instead! Doesn't seem to have made great deal of improvement noise wise, so still after a 1.8 backbox too, but it has got rid of an awful flat spot I had in 1st that sometimes made pulling away difficult! Will also be getting a Courtney Sport panel filter soon :D
