Hi, iv just had the above fitted. I didn't realise they take the engine cover off with '2.0l duratec' or whatever is says on it. Does this need to be put back on after at all?

Its pretty good by the way £80 seems a bit of a bargain.

Thanks very much

who took it off - there is no reason you don't fit the nice looking ford airbox back in its place, ok not doing anything now but depends on your view, it does cover up the rocker and leads. Not sure how it fits, probably just bolted down or sits on some bungs. Just fit the box only back. I am same but will be getting a Stainless rocker cover from Torqsteer which simply sticks/velcro over the rocker cover - nice.
Also assume you have fitted a cold air feed pipe ?

enjoy
sw

attached my engine as you say no box anymore

Ah, nice one mate. I'v just taken it to Demon tweeks today and they put the standard bits in my boot. I'll prob put it back on, just checking there was no functional use behind it. I did forget to check with my insurance company before putting it on and they'v just told me im not covered woops. I'll be looking for a new insurance company on monday.

Thanks again steve

adrian flux for insurance, they will cover for mods also at any time you make them.

Cheers once again for help, much appreciated.

Gutted can't drive her till monday. Don't want to risk it lol.

put a pic up

Left my camera at my parents. Will post pics up tommorow tho.

Hiya,

Im from oswestry near llan.

Did demontweaks fit it for ya ye? how much was that?

£80 with fitting etc?

Hi hampo,

Yeah i got them to fit it, just checked my receipt and it was £57.78 for the K&N including fitting. Cheaper than i thought, i got a discount tho because i know the sales manager. If ur thinking of doing it i would, its made a heck of a difference. Throttle is loads more responsive and it sounds pretty good.

Some pics -

awesome, might look into it, check insurance etc. am interested in getting one.

Just got new insurance because my old one was void with modifying, woops. I used to be with direct line, now with bell and its an extra £20 a month. Well worth it tho, i'm well impressed with it. Bargain.

just been speakin to James Roberts, says he knows ya :P

wicked, i wudnt mind one just for the sound lol

Yeah i know james, lives in glyn ceiriog. Ur not his sisters bloke are u by any chance? Was speakin to him a couple of weeks ago.

haha, yeah i am ye he said he did.

enjoying the ST then? i love mine

Ha, thats weird . Yeah absolutely lovin it. Had some new tyres fitted as well and the steerin wheels a bit shacky at times so i might be getting that checked if it doesn't go away. Had it for a month and well impressed, a lot faster than i thought. What year/colour is yours?

wicked, mines naked blue 07, had it almost a year now, just re-newed my insurance a couple of days ago, forgot to ask about mods tho.

love drivin on some of the roads around glyn, some good B roads

Nice! I would have preffered a naked ST, didn't have much time to buy tho. There is some crackin roads, i was in Oswestry yesterday funny enough. The road between Chirk and there is pretty cool. Lots of overtaking was done, lol.

U'll have to put some picks up of your ST.

well funny enough i was in llan last night! ha, ye is pretty good to be fair.

put some pics up AGES ago..

wether they'll come up on urs i dont know, didnt appear on mine.

Ha ha. Can't see it im afraid, i'll prob see it aroun, lol. I do like blue tho. Wolf in sheeps clothing. U modded urs at all yet?

ha didnt think it would work, too old.

na havent done anything to it yet, dont really want to do too much but wudnt mind an induction kit really.

u got much planned for yours?

Prob new manifold and flexi pipe at crimbo then lower it. Don't really think it needs a lot. It's supised a lot of people so far and kept up with far more expensive motors. I'm pretty pleased as you may have guessed . Go for the induction kit, it sounds easy enough to fit yourself to be honest and i'm useless when it comes to mechanics.

cool, yea i am useless, just about managed to change the light bulbs :P

gonna see what the dealio is with warranty etc 1st lol

I'v only got 2 months left so i think i'v just lost that from putting k&n in but oh well. If i had a year then i may have waited.

Heres mine took about an hour to fit in total.

what diameter samco bend did you use? i used a 76mm and it was a bit too big for the throttlebody

Think it was 70mm I/D
