Don't you just hate it when...

[_Al_]

...you finally get around to taking off your induction system 'cold box'; only to find out that the last garage who serviced the car threw away the (washable) ARC filter and bodge-fitted a Vauxhall Carlton panel filter in its place!


Starting to realise that you can get a real bargin by buying off someone who doesn't know much about cars - but it may not have recieved the specialist attention it deserves all the time!


The monstrosity that's in there now looks like it has all the air-flow qualities of a granite paving slab.

I think that might explain my less-than special boost figure!

[Batty FTO]

bloody gypo's
you know the answer AL,
Service it yourself ya mincer

[_Al_]

I do.

That's why I took it off in the first place, but sadly I'd been beaten to it, and someone has thrown away my ARC.

I was considering buying a K&N or Apexi - but £190 for an AIR FILTER????

Err... Yikes!

[Batty FTO]

pain in the arse
what diameter is it?
i may be able to get you a cheap Blitz one...

[_Al_]

That'd be much appreciated! I'll have a measure ASAP!

p.s. Sorry admin chaps, bit of self advertising

Don't suppose you take those stupid Capital Bonds things?

I've got £150 of them from company performance awards and no idea what to do with them. I was going to blow them on this as Halfrauds accept them..

What the hell is so good about apexi then? Everyone raves about them...

your liner burning a bit rich again T???
i have an Apexi Filter
very well made looks great as well

[tuttle]

Mate... it's always burning rich, (I think a lot of Jap perf stuff of this era does) I could run another car on the amount of unburnt gas from my exhaust

Another good thing about the APEXi filters is they don't need any oiling,which can up your afm.

Possibly, I don't presently have Defi's in stock.If you want a quote my next order to Japan will go in on the 20th Nov, or for a 'special' order you could expect a wait of, usually, 2-4 wks.

I know someone that does copy defi's at a fraction of the cost if you want the details

Unit-8 in Lancashire do 'scoot' branded gauges which are quite similar to Defis' at about ~£60.00 a go.
Thing with real defi's is they use proper stepping motors & modular data loggers, so that you can plug a whole series of info ouputs thru a single unit-if you want.Probably cheapest place for genuine Defi's would be thru eBay some of the sellers are able to buy direct & bulk, I can't compete with that.

A chap I know is getting his Jap tuning company off the ground, tried to sell me an ARC cold air induction kit. I said no thanks, but as I already have a baseline dyno run, I'd be happy for hi to bang it on, and I'll re-run to show improvments-he'll let me know...
