ok so now the clio is never to be back on the road in my own im gonna take out the nearside headlight to get some more air into the engine bay!!

is it still worth having a standard air box with replacment filter or would it be worth havin an open induction kit to get to the air straight away???

ur thoughts please :lol:

if your removing the headlight then look into something with a better sealed airbox. like a viper or bmc

well if your removing the headlight you want as direct feed as possible. something like a viper will have a larger more direct feed into the throttle body with clean cold air.

removing the headlight. not that much really just cool clean air an not low enough to suck in much water. about the same as a scuttle air feed i would think.

i would consider relocating the air feed to the washer bottle area, & moving the washer bottle to the rear of the vehicle. . . . which is easy to do.

get a throttle body adapter and fix some alloy tubing on to it...route it in to the washer bottle area.

job done.

Would like to see pics of this Dan if you can get?

Will a piper X fit into the washer bottle area or too big?
