Dave.F hybrid intake.

[Ayrshire09]

Hey ppl, anyone know how i would go about getting a Dave.F intake cant really seem to find any for sale or how to get a hold of one?

Cheers, Fraser.

[stoney]

they come up on TM every so often you may be as well geting a ITG air filter as they are very good :yes nod:

[Ayrshire09]

Dunno if being simple, TM? Will just changing filter gimme same noise and better breathing like dave.f intake is sposed to?

[stoney]

total mini and yes a itg will give you a lot better nosie and will help breath i have one in my gp and i know a few others that have the 210 air box with a itg and deflap

[Ayrshire09]

Klkl take these dave.f intakes are pretty hard to come by? Just thought it would be better to have on considering I'm gna put a 15%pulley on without changing intercooler, thought it would help with inlet temp.

Cheers, Fraser.

[stoney]

i would say defo get a filter and yes they are hard to come bye but a itg is defo worth a look at and at the price of a dave f i would put that to a I/C TBH the GRS one is very good had one on my last s

Or try minitorque.com. Dave f makes batches of around 10 at a time, you have to pre order them.

Seems to be a tricky to get one even on minitorque. Where will I pick up an itg filter n how much we talking? Cheers for the help guys. Ever tried to wrap a scoop in 3M carbon fibre vinyl?

I have done a fair bit of the carbon wrapping. Never tried a scoop though that would be difficult. I had mixed results. For external stuff on the car I found that where I had to stretch and manipulate it alot I found it would lift in places. Tried lacquering it too again never liked end results. I also done some internal stuff it seemed to work alot better.

[Ayrshire09]

Cheers, was planning on doing scoop, wing mirrors n boot handle, do you have to lacquer it if it's external? You get them lacquered professionally or did you do that yourself?

Cheers, Fraser.

just do a serach on google for them

as greg said he has done it but i have not

[Hogman]

Nah dont get the vinyl its just no where near as good as real CF.

[Ayrshire09]

Definately agree hogman but just can't afford real carbon fibre unfortunately. Cheers stoney, think I'm looking at around £40 for filter, could you notice quite a difference in itg filter from normal one when you fitted?

Cheers, Fraser.

No doubt CF man would say that... Haha

PM Dave.f on MiniTorque if you want one as he is doing another batch mid-late Sept on a first come basis (posted by himself earlier tonight).

If my car had been standard, as I thought, I had one on order before I even picked up the car

[Ayrshire09]

Cheers steve but mines is a standard MCS airbox so wool it fit?? Quite alot of people are saying it would be wisest to get an intercooler first so gna hunt for one hopefully a nice second hand one. Does anyone run a 15% without updating intercooler or is that just asking for trouble?

Cheers, Fraser

[Forbes]

If you do, which isn't wise for any length of time, lower your revs and don't give it beans the whole time as it needs time to cool. You can, just isn't great

[Fartin Martin]

I would hang off for the Dave.F buddy! you wont be disappointed mate!! and you dont need to wait that long for one, just keep checking the forum for it! and I'm sure hes making more and more each batch he does ;)

[Ayrshire09]

Shouldn't be too long hopefully Santa will bring me intercooler hopefully, how much is a dave.f new, doing all this from my iPhone cause Internet ain't up n running yet, hence the tons of question cause it a pain in the arse searching Internet on iPhone.

Cheers, Fraser.

[Fartin Martin]

The Dave.f was £139 incl PP
