Since I bought the car I've never been to impressed with the induction kit that a previous owner had fitted.

The time to change came after the last session on a track day at Croft recently when I got some king of oil/acid on the foam filter and it tried to part company with my car.

Temporary bodge to get home...



Mmmmm melted filter...



If there was any hot air in the engine bay I'm pretty sure my last filter would be sucking it up so I decided to get an enclosed kit and run a cold air feed to.

The first part to arrive was the start of the cold air feed from Peugeot Sport in France, it fits where the passenger fog light is...



Decided the it would look crap being unpainted inside so a quick few coats with a rattle can sorted that out...



Next up was to get some gauze to cover the end of the cold air feed...



After cutting the edges to shape it was sealed onto the cold air feed and taped for good measure...



The induction kit I decide to go for was a pipercross viper, this comes whith some piping which will be fitted directly to the cold air feed. I sealed and taped the start of the piping join to the cold airfeed...



After a trial fit I realised the cold air feed was to long and was fouling against the arch liner, b0ll0x. Out came the hacksaw and the cold air feed was cut down to size...



With no real obvious attachments for the cold air feed a few people on forums suggested making brackets and fiberglassing it on. A quick trip to halfords and I had a fiberglassing kit. I'm not sure if you've tried fiberglassing before but it's a bit of a nightmare.

Here's the fiberglassing finished, it doesn't look pretty but as long as it holds I don't care...



Once the bumper was refitted it was a case of connecting the piping...



Then fitting the induction kit and connecting it all up...



At some point I'll change the blue silicone hose to black.

Last but not least a pic of the car put back together with the new induction system fitted...

Looks good, just get rid of the other fog as it serves no purpose!

Looks really smart. Will definitely look even better with the black silicone hosing too.
