Is the chrome pipe the one that comes with the kit dude? I've got the same kit and am trying to figure a way out to make a cold air feed. Just wondered how and where you had led it to

Same kit but for a Furio... but i planned to change the chrome for a silicone elbow anyway so didn't matter lol. Have you lead it to the foglight?

Sorry for so many questions.

Thats ok, you got a link to the picture of your kit?

I lead it down to near the fog but there is a spot where i can see daylight quite clearly so fixed it in to place tight where daylight was

The Kit sounds like a hoover constantly sucking in air.

I dont mind the questions dude

Hmm aparently the metal is good for heat shielding btw, Profile Automotive on the Focus ST scene use it and they get the best results with their CAIS.

Shows it in the pics in the listing btw, with that last peice of metal piping get a small cold airfeed pipe and exstend it towards the wheel arch, there is light somewhere around there have a butchers when your next in the bay, lots of cold air around there.

Looks like mine when I bought it in 2005. Got cleaned nearly every other day. Then someone wrote my bro's 172 off and he needed a car, and I just got a company car so I sold it to him in 2007. Three years on and he was getting shot for an Astra Coupe 1.8 in that rusty orange colour (WHY!?!). The condition of it now is allot different, theres dents and scratches all over it, the engine bay looks like someone didn't know where to put oil and just poured it all over it, and all the arches hanging on by a clip.

Seeing your Saxo like that has given me the boost to get it sorted. It looks fantastic! Good to see somone putting their all into their car!

Thanks for the boost too!
