where to buy K&N

[Spyda]

Ive got one of thouse volvo "adapters" peter was talkin bout if you want it.

Have you tryed ebay? I think it was $80 shipped for a mk1 panel, and about $70 for a pod filter, if not cheaper with the exchange rate now.

hmm.. that volvo airbox seems like an idea.. it's a little harder with regard to space in the mk2s cause the inlet manifold goes to the opposite side of the engine bay as compared with the mk1s. (no nice big hole next to gearbox) also, my airbox has been swiss cheesed (sik bro) so a big panel filter should do it.

Or you could always go the proper filter such as BMC or as Mr. Hawk did, a DRIFT carbon pod with ducting for a measly $160.

The DRiFT is excellent value, easy to install and has pretty much all the benefits of the more expensive options. Considering a K&N is usually round $100, but the time you either modify your current air box or get a replacement your getting close to the $160 I paid for the DRiFT which is a dead simple CAI.

arrghh! i'll have to get a volvo airbox if i want any kind of induction like that. and my airbox is so pretty with all its holes at the moment already! hehe. and then by the time i attach CAI piping to the volvo airbox, the airbox will be the limiting factor in air flow, and then i'll have to drill it, and it'll be exactly the same as what i have now! <sigh>

k-jet has a fuel distributor at the non manifold end of the intake, so you can only start plumbing from there. i think panel is all i can afford/be bothered to find out about to do.

ps. i would actually like CAI or pod like filter etc, but but.. but.
