   hello all
   
   i got a universal induction kit and i was going to fit it today but when i looked at taking the air box off i seen it had pipes coming off it like in the pic below
   
   
   the silver pipe what do i do with is as there is no where to fit it on my new induction kit?

   The one that goes to the airbox, that one is just for taking oil vapour out of the rocker.
   
   Can either be creative using some blue hose to fit it, or you could just fit a breather filter to it.

   Any induction kit you buy (providing its specificly for the saxo) will have a little stem come out of the hose to the throttle body, it goes onto there.
   
   A Breather filter "Evaporates" the bad oil vapour into the air, making sure that it dosent go back into the engine creating gunk, burnt oil, only downside to the breather filters is if you have an engine like mine where theres lots of compression - you will see oil pour out the top of that filter and go all over the engine block.

   so if i got blue pipe from it and put a hole on my air intake pipe and fitted it in there it would be okkay ?

   Um, dont touch the other one, if you pull that clip off theres normally fuel pissing out of there, and if you dont plug it back in correctly, you waste a quater tank of fuel as it will ping off and you'll be standing wondering whats wrong untill you see a big trail of fuel behind you.
   
   Wouldnt drill a hole in your induction pipe, only stick it on there if theres a stem specificly for that peice of tubing.

    just buy a breather filter and shove in on to the end of the pipe easy
    
    something like this:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Classic-Mini-C...item3c9e96d061
    
    not sure on what size you need though

    my bumper came like that lol i didnt even want them luckily my plate covers them over lol it does look kinda good if your going for the track look but it didnt really suit my car, and im guessing the last owner would have just got a circle hole cutter attachment for a drill for a few pounds and attacked it him self lol
