stokefan: the panel is good as it isnt an engine mod (i checked with insurance, its just a replacement element). it makes the car feel faster as the engine is much more responsive and the noise is also improved, especially when it you floor it or the engine is cold. thanks for the pics on the...

so you would recommend the standard box with k&n panel that ihave at the moment, with some new tubing. where would i get some new tubing from. (i think i get your idea but would be most grafeful for a piccie)

i paid a year up front (was 17 at the time), im with CIS and the car is in my dads name with his no-claims with me as a driver. The insurance is 510quid fully comp, courtosy car, protected no claims the lot. I even have a declared k&n repalcement filter element. The car is a micra k11...

hi, ive had a replacement element, and it is better than stock by a long way sound wise. However, today i took the top off my airbox and the sound is way way better, which leads me to think i need to chuck my air box and get a new filter cone. Do i have a cone at the front of my engine with...

30quid is bit too much when theres 2quid ones around sorry :-) im just after the pipes but i had a new discovery since then. i took the top of the airbox off and had a drive down my road the sound is awesome makes my k&n replacement panel sound pants. what filters would you guys recommend?? a...

hi. i am to hack off the end of my resonator pipe on the air intake in order to help more air get in the engine, however i want an old one to do this with so i have my old standard one in the garage for when icome to sell the car. anybody got one to sell? thanks

how much for the air filter box (that includes the induction and resonator pipes that come off it. i assume they all k11 air boxes are the same and would fit a 2000 X 1.0 S facelift model, thanks

thanks for the reply to the email. yer the resonator does branch off the induction, and the pipe with a fluffy bit is soemthing else.

ok wildo. i emailed you (thats rlees85) a picture as im not permitted attachments in posts. i nicked the piccie frm ebay but wil get a proper one of my engine bay with filter box open 2moro hopefully. could you shed some light on what 1.3 litre cams would do to the engine i nterms of how it...

ahh so it is the pipe with the manky fluff in the end in my filter box. looks like cotton wool, should i replace this as it's filthy?? what does a resonator pipe do. how much are cams and how much is fitting and is it classed as an engine mod (sorry to be boring but insurancers dont like young...

sweet. 2grand is worth almost as much as the car tho! antony what engine size is your micra and how much have you spent doing it up

a back box is anything wud increase bhp by a tiny amout, as the rest of the exhaust will be restricting air flow. back boxes just make the car sound good:-)

ok. i have no real mechanical knowledge inthe way i havnt a clue how to take the gnine apart. what efffect would the cams have. obviously i wudnt expect miracles cos the cars only 59bhp. ohh i was thinking the resonator pipe was the 1 next to the air feed pipe that appears to be useless...

how much wud a turbo cost for a 1.0 yr 2000 micra (are other engine mods needed as well as a turn osuch as strenghthening any pipes, im clueless with car engines:grinning: ) i feel the 59hp i got atm is a little pants at times. thanks

the car is 2000 X reg facelift model aswel

no thanks on the swap, but thanks 4 asking anyway:grinning: the car runs fine with no misfires etc. i think as the sensors been set off once its a bit temepremental. The garage says its the oxygen levels in my manifold that are sensed so it must be too high at times but oh well its gone off...

i have a k&n panel filter for my 1.0L k11 micra. the car feels faster due to more responsiveness and is louder, especially when the engine is cold, however it isn't that loud at all compared to a friends xscara and a friends 306, both 1.4s with cone filters, still but worth 35quid ish (thats...

i have a 1.0L micra with a k&n panel filter in it. bit dissapointed with the noise as my mates 20quid universal cone in his xsara is louder, but never mind mines only a litre and i wanted my insurance to stay valid, hence the panel filter not a big cone. Anyway, my problem is ever since i...
