I got a 1.4 8v and as you lot know they dont seem to be an induction kit made for this car so i gave K&N a bell and they want to develop a kit for the car using mine. I just wanted to know if anyones done this and if you lot recon its kosher????

RAM AIR did this with my old 6N... (mk4)

They developed their induction kit on my car, and they also measured her up for a strut brace they were developing.

I got a free induction kit out of it.

did they ever put the strut brace into production?

Dunno, you should give them a ring...

It was a really nice piece of kit.

I've got a 1.4 8v as well and I was after a k&N induction kit a year ago or so. I went to R-tec and they said that the 1.4 8v version for the MKIV should fit the car, but then when they went to fit it they said they had a problem with the spark plugs not having anywhere to rest on. I can't remember if they said anything about the thing being the right size, but i'm 70% sure they said it didn;t fit.
What do i do?
Anybody have a K&N on a 1.4 8v???!!!

hey basically this how it works there a kit for the 95 after model which is supposed to fit the 2000 models but as with everything it needs alterations!!!!
BUT hopefully K&N will be bringing one out for the 2000 model soon their using my 2000 1.4 8v to work on next month so watch this space!!!
