Thanks Dread - you'll have to buy a Hummer (or Kuda Pro as they're now called) from Atomik and join in - that's if after reading this thread, you still think they're a good buy lol.

Actually they're fun to work on and will perform surprisingly well once the work is done. They're also cheap to buy and maintain.

Boys - I had a look at the air filter today and decided to take a more minimalist approach to Allied.

Comments and work done are as follows:

1. There is a small gap between the metal screen filter and the Carbie air inlet pipe - which allowed me to put some thin bolts, nuts and washers through the joining flanges and make them a tighter (dust resistant) fit.
2. I had a look at the snorkel hole at the top of the filter box and decided it was too small. It should be big enough to allow air flow totally unhindered - which means it has to be at least as big as the outlet - so I enlarged it a bit.
3. I replaced the shitty and badly cut cheap foam with a high quality filter foam, cut to an exact fit. I then used Bel-Ray air filter oil (nice and sticky) to oil it.
4. I replaced the shitty filter box screws (which cut their way loose in 10 seconds) with slightly longer and fatter self tappers. This holds the box cover a lot more securely.

Fingers crossed - it should filter well and give me a bit more power & throttle response.
