I have a 2005 cube, the part number for the one I have is 7pk1148..jmc (it cost £21.48 +labour). It makes a very quick squeak when I turn the key but runs silently. not sure if that is supposed to happen (running in?) or not. </p> <p>Good luck</p> <p>Herbie </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4520#post-19550 Thu, 17 May 2012 22:44:09 +0000 hillandsky 19550@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>Well for £16 I'll try these first and see how they go. Might as well get them and know that I have brand new belts on there. </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4702#post-19549 Thu, 17 May 2012 20:18:07 +0000 Tazbert 19549@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>Cheers Fil. I think my next major mod will be a new stainless exhaust, so might be worth it then. </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4702#post-19547 Thu, 17 May 2012 18:51:16 +0000 little_fil 19547@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>Forgot to mention, an induction kit (cold air intake) will make a much bigger difference in sound as they have a much larger surface area meaning they can allow for much greater air-flow and density. They give a more sporty sound but for a couple of extra HP you need to shield them from any heat and try to route a cold air feed to it from the grille or bumper. I know someone however who drove through a large puddle at night and the filter sucked a load of water in which couldnt compress obviously, and so he bent a conrod. For this reason and the standard air box being a good heat shield, i use the pannel filters. </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4702#post-19544 Thu, 17 May 2012 17:35:26 +0000 little_fil 19544@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>I've got the K&amp;N pannel filter. Makes my exhaust sound abit nicer and more 'barbly' but i doubt you'd notice much on a standard pipe. You wont get any power gains. Maybe very subtle high up the rev range. Only application these make extra ponies is with forced induction. My old turbo got an extra lease of life. Only thing it'll do to a naturally aspirated block is change the sound of the exhaust, providing you already have an uprated/modified one, or your engine is screaming! Otherwise, they're pretty pricey for not much return. </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4702#post-19542 Thu, 17 May 2012 16:14:38 +0000 Tazbert 19542@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>Been having a read through of some old threads on here as I've been thinking about improving the performance a snot and also maybe getting a little bit better MPG out of the old shed.</p> <p>From what I could gather, seems that the general concensus was getting a good quality replacement panel style filter (ie. Your K&amp;N's of the world) to replace the standard one was better than an induction kit as the former was cheaper and did exactly what the latter did for half the price. </p> <p>Correct?</p> <p>Fankoo for your time. &lt;img src=&quot;http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4687#post-19533 Thu, 17 May 2012 12:32:54 +0000 CUBED 19533@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>ooh i do like that. &lt;img src=&quot;http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4520#post-19530 Thu, 17 May 2012 10:14:35 +0000 PeeShooter 19530@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>Is it like Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh lol </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4520#post-19529 Thu, 17 May 2012 08:39:05 +0000 little_fil 19529@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>Yep, they are the belts i bought and thats the site i bought them from. I will just point out and repeat what i said earlier, i replaced mine only to have the sqeeking return until the engine got up to temp and i put this down to dirty pulley's, however, i just performed an oil change with some 5W30 and drained the old thick, black oil. 'VOILA' sqeek has gone. The oil was obviously too thick when cold. Remember there are multiple possibilities for everything. </p> http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/topic/4687#post-19520 Thu, 17 May 2012 01:31:36 +0000 The_Ronster 19520@http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/ <p>Awsome man.
