I have a drilled airbox, and thought id experiment a bit so i bought a induction kit from halfords only one of the ripspeed ones with the heatshiled round it, i'm going to mount this in the airbox so its enclosed from all hot air, anyone tried this before and does it work ?

Why not get rid of the airbox completely?
Why do you think hot air is such a problem with performance on your car?

my girlfriends 1.2 16v ran like shite when i fitted a pipercross kit on it. didnt make any difference apart from a better sound. heared lots of people having problems after fitting induction kits to the 1.2 16v

i have had
-Cone filter, no cold air feed
-Cone filter with cold air feed
-standard airbox + paper filter
-standard airbox + panel filter
-Drilled airbox + paper filter
-Drilled airbox + panel filter
drilled airbox arrangement had an extra air feed to underside too
done about 700=1000mile with each setup and found out that i noticed bugger all
if anything i had less flatspots with panel filter and standard airbox

No it's not. The packaging says ripspeed, but they're all made overseas in deepest darkest Asia.
Some of the stuff is good value...
