Air Box Drilling - make sticky?

Postby Liebo on Mon Jan 05, 2004 12:46 am

After being asked a few times by PM, I've decided to make a little guide...

Drill the air box....


Image

Or in Steve's bodge job method...

Fiesta_Steve :just take the airbox off, put an old sock over the CFi unit and hold it on with a elastic band ;)

that will be nice and free flowing, and it will keep big bits of crap like leaves and flies out lol


Hope this helps.

Please note: It is of considerable importance that the sock has no large holes in it!

* Also note I accept no responsibilty what so ever for your engine going funlumps up by the use of the above 'sock mod' :lol:

Alternator prob not solved, mystery. Car's not drawing anything while ignition off, or when locked, or when locked and armed. Confuddling. Got a new valve in though, and heated screen now works :)

Cos I'm goin back to uni for a week tomorrow, Fiesta's no longer insured as of tomorrow, and I bought this heap of crap Metro to use at uni. So Fiesta's going in the shed covered up, want it to be properly clean, but looks as though I might have to polish it next week when I come home for a week. Rather do a proper job of it, gonna be at least 2 or 3 months till I drive it again I think :cry:

Yeah, I'm going for a tartan rug on the back seats. Couldn't find the pipe I was looking for at home, so will buy one along with a trilby at the market next week :D Maybe some huge black-rimmed glasses too :)
