hi everybody
i need some advice as to if i fit a different air filter ie a cone filter, in my sporty will this give more power?
also when i am turning at a bend i do keep hearing a noise from the right hand side wheels like a dragging sound. it only happens at certain times and i have checked the calipers, the bearings etc but i still hear it again.
any advice will be brilliant.
regards

Cone filter like K&N57I kits are expensive and will not improve performance enough to warrant the outlay however they do allow better access to the engine by allowing you to remove the air plumbing contraption provided by Daihatsu and they do give a louder induction noise.
Have you chack your tyres for bulges on both inner and outer wals plus the tread area. It may be a small bulge that rubs when the wheel is turned. get it checked out as it will blow in the end.
Other such noises can be stones caucht between the disk and the back plate. Have you lifted the front end and spun the wheels on full lock to pin-point the noise. It could just be the pad rubbing on a disk or dust within the caliper or a warped disk, not uncommon.
