Hi ive just got my fiesta 1.1, and i had a read about the forums and seen a lot ppl sayin not to bother with modding it, but then i saw ppl mentioning drilling the air box, and i tried to look to see how it was done, as im a complete noob with cars (onli passed me test 2 months ago), so any help would be appreciated

[Badgerboy]

See the search button up there? Use it my friend!

[Reece]

Just did, but still cudnt find any instructions on how to do it, remeber i am a complete noob to this whole hting so i really dont know tht much

[Percy!]

You drill around the outer edges only, like so:



Take it off before you do it I must add and take the air filter out, to do this undo the clips around the edges and take the 3 screws out from the top, it will all make sense once you have done it.

Hope this helps

Thanks alot m8 this is what i was looking for, much appreciated!

[Reece]

this might be a silly question, but with drilling the air box would it need to be delcared as a mod, and would it effect my insurance, aslo does this effect my air/fuel mix??

[andyleesy]

i wouldnt do that much holes
do it round the back of the airbox, as it just looks better
i did 12 or 13 and it does sounds v.good (for a 1,1)

[hudz_si]

I drilled about 6 holes on each side...Also on the back too, I figured the more holes I drilled the louder and deeper the sound I got... I now have a K&N that I got off eBay for £15, but I'm stil deciding which sounded the best The K&N deff looks better, but it has a more metally sound to it (because its in a metal case )





Not the prettyest of engine bays, but its a 1.1 no one wants to see it

I like to see any engine, especially when the owner has taken pride in keeping it clean

[hudz_si]

Butlike Isaid, It a 1.1 it dont deserve to be clean ha, no im jokin! i do try and keep it clean but im a student so i dont get much time or money to spend on the car. but im taking it off the road soon to get a engine conversion and to generally keep it looking nice...on the outside tho its spotless, just under the bonnet its a lil crappy!

See, I keep all the outside nice and clean! Got rid of all the rust patches and dents

One of the very last with an iB5, not many of those about! It looks clean Seriously though, it doesn't take much to clean the bay, and it's much better for everything in there.

[hudz_si]

What do you mean by an iB5? Like I said I do try and keep then Engine clean, but with a lack or time and money it does get pushed aside. But I'll have alot of time over the summer to make it look nice. So thats what I shal be doing

[Badgerboy]

IB5 is the gearbox. Excusion is pointing out you have one of the late spec fiesta's with the strengthened gearbox.

Most Fiestas have the BC box.

[Gazeddy]

When did the ib5 come in is it with the mk3.5 or just the very late ones

[Reece]

[ERRR] bolt on air filter you got there???

[hudz_si]

The Filter is from an Orion, not sure [ERRR] the model number is, but I'll try find out for you. This was the one I was told to get, as they didnt list any for a 1995 1.1 Fiesta.

[Reece]

cheers m8, bin lookin for a little while with no luck

[hudz_si]
