I figured i'd buy something slitghly better than the old Ryco Z411 this time. I didnt realise the K&N is about double the diametre of the ryco - and i that always had a very snug fit to get into place.
To get the K&N fitted i eventually pulled the little spillway (beside starter motor?) below the oil filter and squeezed this filter in there. By this stage i had already looked at feeding it down through the top and sides...all meant removing something. Oh and no wheel stands - made looking for things to undo beneath the car a little hard also.
I was getting prepared to play soccer with the thing!!!
anyway, i thought i'd share
