I'm going to have to buy a standard airbox (from dealership or 2nd hand) and was thinking of getting a replacement K+N 'panel filter' (£43).

Thanks in advance. :D

My air filter situation...

Ok chaps, I need some help please. I need a new air filter for my car...(Mk4 1996 VW Polo)

Its only a 1.4, 8 valve so I know I'm not going to see any vast performance difference.

1. I'm not bothered about induction noise
2. I don't want the air filter to be purely cosmetic

I'm a bit of a newbie ...

I've got my Mk4 Polo smoooooothed at the rear too and was thinking of putting a 'POLO' badge on the back. Or even spaced out 'P-O-L-O' like on the new MG's :wink:

What bhp can I expect? Also, to chip or not to chip?!

Recently at GTi International I missed the chance of putting my car on the rolling road and since then I've been wondering what kinda bhp I can expect from my car.

I've done side-by-side tests (on an air field) with another standard bhp Polo and my car is much faster in any gear, at any speed. The ...

Yep, I should be going with my JiggyBeast. I'll have added a few small touches to the car by next Saturday too.

I'll be the chap walking round looking lost and not knowing anyone!

Will be my first show of this kind ;) I'll be driving from Cambridge.

Thanks chaps...

As it turns out I've now got to replace the suspension for the whole goddamn car...not good.

I'm going to have to get it tomorrow as well, so they can fit it into my car Monday/Tuesday :(

I'm looking at Spax or G-Max hardened suspension springs and shocks, NOT coil-overs. I've got ...

Help! Suspension problem

I have a front shock absorber that has died and pissing oil.

I have uprated suspension, coil-overs, and my garage has asked me to get the part! Warning me it may cost bucks!

I thought that uprated shock absorbers use gas, not oil? So therefore do I have (or even can I have?) standard shock ...
