   I serviced my Cube over the weekend, did the Oil & Filter, Sparks and K&N Air filter. Nothing unusual in it's self.

   However the first thing I did was to replace the Air filter, then take it out for a short run to warm the oil up before I changed it and found the car changed up from 1st to 2nd alot more smoothly on a cold start. I though I would bring this up as I know we have discussed this cold start change up lurch issue before on the fourm some time back, with concerns about failing gearboxes, bad ATF fuilds, etc.

   This might be an answer to the problem, if it bugs you like it did me. I did fit a new factory air filter about year ago and did not notice the change with that one. I will monitor it over the next few months and keep you all posted if the issue re-occurs.

   Well if you got the 1.5 engine then thats whet EB has
   But he had to tape some of it up ,due to high fuel consumption : / .

   IF!!! its the same as what i got , id say go for the panel KnN as it does a good job ,unless you want looks,
   rather than functional!!

   na id rather keep the little engine hidden its embarrasing, lol jokes.

   Mine is the 1.4 engine

   I may ask my mate to see if he can get me a filter sorted, if not i will just go for a panel filter as they are better.

   I have saved quite a bit so hopefully i can get all my bits within the next few weeks, if not it will be the next few months but want to have it ready for when i go to USC at santapod later in the year

    Yup, both ways will improve performance a bit plus engine breathes easier IMOP, that pic you put up has an induction pipe setup too, around 250 notes roughly but cant get them sort for 1.5 CVT cubes in UK and USA plonka i emailed said they cant be arsed to post to UK! Would have just bolted on as well!
    Ron had K&N filter on his up Japfest but i think it uses more go-go juice when installed!

    yea i got mate who does custom filters for mainly german cars and he will make one on for about £50-100 tops i would think so im happy, he is getting my coilovers sorted as we speak then he has to take the beast away and get new plates made to fit it

    Cant wait for that to happen, will get some pics of before and after on all the bits and of my car and post it soon

    Well one month on and still got a nice smooth change up when cold, also dosen't need to push as hard to keep the speed up the motorway hills, so it is a big thumbs up form me for K&N.

    FYI its just the replacement planel filter P/N: 33-2060
