Found a K&N one in the U.S for $67 usd. Repco are the official suppliers for K&N so will see how much they are.
I am still sorta tempted, but the car is my daily so i can't be arsed with reliability issues.
yea can always do it, and change back if you don't like it. not that hard. Shouldn't affect reliabilty. just when you're in traffic and it's really warm, it might stutter a bit & be a bit rough. thats all.
its on a MK1 1.6L, Solex 34Pic or something i belive
I like it, i wouldnt go back to stock unless i was going to sell it, even then id recomend putting sports filter back on.
In traffic, it does feel a tad slugish when you take off, but give it a quick rev in 1st, and its good, but then again my carb is leaking and making mine run rough so i couldnt really tell
stock solex's aren't the revviest of things as it is. the mk 2 1.6 has a twin throat pierburg, which is a bit revier in my limited experience with my ex-mk 2 and ex-mk 1 (as well as others mk 1's)
My point here, was the mk 2 should be revvy enough stock. (providing it's all stock)

Stock as a rock.
I'm just exploring options to improve the beast without spending too much or messing with its driveability. The classic dilemma really.
