General drilled airbox.....
on my sisters punto 1.2- it sounds very good i think and she also said her car has more GO in it, but i would buy a spare airbox because you might not like it?

mmmmmmm think i might have a play tonight. without been cheeky how big and where abouts are your sisters holes?
Alex, it takes a bit longer from NI. They should be with you soon.
mmmm i have no pics
but hers are about 6-8 rows each with about 6-8 holes which are about 1cm and 3/4 i think, and they are all on top of the airbox, rows go right from the top to right to the bottom.

nice one steve no worries. cheers fo the advice on the airbox aswell uno94 will let you know how i get on
I doubt it'd do much as the place you'd drill would be drawing warm air from above the rocker cover, you might get more growl but a bhp increase is highly unlikely, dare I say you might lose some gusto.
Edit: However if you have a spare airbox to play with then go for it and tell me how you get on.

instead just get a pipercross airfilter, as my car now bombs along at 70 very easily
a punto mk1 k&n/piper cross induction kit would fit a panda wouldnt it?
If you dont want to fit direct onto the air intake any filter can be attached by a pipe to fit. Have you considered a K&N original filter replacement?
i wouldnt recommend it, my sister found it CRAP on her punto.Hellcat said:
They let more air through than a standard paper filter so it can't have been that bad.

Yes Beau.
they do but when the original air feed is rubbish, then its crap because the car cant put in the extra air needed to add power, she did notice a difference when i drilled her air box thoughHellcat said:

ive already fitted the K&N filter pad an it does make a bit of difference. it picks up better from lower revs. i may just put the actual intake tube directly in front of one of the little vents. toasted some chavs in a nova 1.2 (i think) today lmao. they dint even know what a panda was. the lights have arrived steve. fitted them in the freezin cold last night an they look spot on
will get some picks on soon. my exhaust is blowing where the mid section of pipe joins the back box. ive bought a new bracket today (the original one holding the two sections together had corroded through) there is no holes in the exhaust. any ideas guys?

Unless you can run an air intake feed from the roof of your Panda; your best bet is to cut a hole into your heater intake under the big vent in your bonnet. The mass of swirling air in there, mixed with a K&N WILL make a difference.
