I have the filter but haven't got around to changing it yet, where is the filter housing?

Would love to see this install Lukas.
I always used K&N filters on my bikes and they helped prformance as well as consumption.
Seeing as my car is only 8 months old, I'll probably hold off for a while yet.

[EF MAX]

Where did you or can you purchase these filters as mine is due for a change and wouldn't mind fitting something better at the same time..

[andy_olive]

K&N life time air filter direct replacement e-2658 around £40 most tuning shops remember once you have bought it you never needed to buy agian all you do is give it a clean with k&n's air filter cleaner
my cars now got K&N and upsolute chip change(via a fiend in a scrap yard) and 25mm drop via spax springs and now kicks out a helthly 90 bhp for just £120 outlay

25mm drop via spax springs How does your handle now with Spax Springs.

I went for a set of Bembo Motorsports springs and I think on reflection that they have stiffen the car up too much. I am now changing the shocks. I put Koni adjustables on the rear last year and will be doing the front ones soon. Maybe at their softest settings things might get better.

[andy_olive]

It handle's very well feels about a stiff as normal but gets round the track beter than before 2.01.52 now 1.48.32 so must be going better some where will be changing to koni's soon so i will see if they help.

[ecoangel]

Got my K&N today.

I've had the bonnet off and had a quick peep but can't see the filter housing. Is it underneath the engine?

Any chance of posting those pictures or emailing them to me?

Do I need to remove the bottom 'tray'?

Hi Chris

I recently changed the (standard) air filter and yes - you do need to remove the bottom tray. The filter housing is on the drivers side front corner - a circular cutout on the edge of the bumper providing access for removal of the element. The filter is quite long and needs to be extracted vertically so it makes life a lot easier to remove and replace it if you do the job over a pit or jack up the car.

Regards Spike

Thanks a lot Spike.

I don't have a pit myself but do have access to one if I ask nicely[8D]
I've got a set of ramps so I'll try those first in the morning.

Will let you know how easy it was (or wasn't :()

Thanks again, Spike.

Was quite easy and only took around 15 to 20 mins to do. :)

Hi Chris

Good to hear the job went well. Will be interested to see if you note any improvement in performance and / or fuel consumption with the K & N filter
