   Well as its been a sunny day in yorkshire ive noticed that the heat gets to the saxo and bogs down the throttle response.
   
   After my journey i checked under the bonnet and found that the induction pipes were really really warm.
   
   Heres where it sits at the moment;
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Whats the best thing to keep it cool, Relocate the intake? Wrap the pipes?, Get a heat sheid? Or all 3.....
   
   I was thinking of putting it down here; And getting a heat sheild made for the section of pipe closest to the throttle body.

   Oh yea dint think about puddles.... fudge...
   
   I think ill get a bigger intake but mount in the same place, and try and get it heatwrapped. Also gonna get me mums company to make me a heatsheild for the two pipes.
   
   
   I had an idea.... Im going to get another one of the plastic intake things and put it unfront of the rad. Cut it up a bit mount a bit of piping on there and see what happens.....
