General K&N Air Filter in a panda?

panda power · May 17, 2004

Is it possible to fit a K & N filter on to the carb of the panda, (1 Litre[8D])? I'd have to remove the box filter and fix it the filter hose on with a jubilee clip at both ends. Has anybody else done this? Any help appriciated.

Cheers

Nick

they do the filter or are u after an induction kit??

Panda_Boy · May 18, 2004

yeah they do a K&N for pandas......just a normal bolt on jobbie. but if ur after an induction kit i wudnt bother it wouldnt make you car any faster.if u wanna make it faster sort out the brakes and sus also sort you self out some alloys. with all cars braking and handling is worth up2 50bhp when driving.

i have wacked some alloys on mine and i got 100 out the panda today

Hi,
K&N's filters are the first job I do on a Panda when I buy one. There is a direct replacement available that sits in the existing box.
The induction kit (to my mind) isn't worth the bother.

HHmmmmmmm

Thanks for your replies, wasn't gonna bother with an induction kit.

Rich your said improve my brakes, and suspension. how? already got alloys on it, think they are originals but dont know, 165/13.

I know the panda doesn't have a servo for the brakes, so to improve braking i STOMP on the middle pedal, lol.

hey. well get lowered sus and gas shocks. alloys with a wider profile. and drilled and grooved disc,braided brake hoses and find a panda with a servo from a scrap yard. then when it comes down to it your car will handle better when either racing or just goin faster so u make up the speed on other cars with the K&N ect.

HHmmmmmmm

yeah i know a K&N wont make any difference ive said that earlier. im just saying braking and handling can be like an extra 20bhp. no point having the speed then almost stopping to go around corners.

I'm a He.

And someones saying a K&N will give you extra speed? On it's own I doubt it very much.. maybe a few extra hp, but the only thing you'll gain is the typical boy racer noise.

And Panda Fan, I didn't diagree with what you posted, nor did I question your knowlege, so why that comment?

Panda_Boy · May 23, 2004

go to www.needforspeed.co.uk or .com and they have lowering springs then just go for gas shoch and suspension.the springs aint very cheep there tho bout £100 i think but ive seen them in an old mag for £58.99.

pandafan · May 24, 2004

Hi Digimods............You are quite right and I apologise unreservedly,

Kindest,

HHmmmmmmm

Digimods · May 24, 2004

No worries my friend!

Panda_Boy · May 27, 2004

Enzo · May 27, 2004

The standard shocks are the hydraulic type...it's a Panda, not a Gt car

Donkey · May 27, 2004
