Setting fire to my F for Christmas

Yupp the crazy man is at it again

Christmas Eve was the day and this is how it started

I had to go to Bradford for the company xmas drink and handing out of prezzies to the staff

So tried the F, it was a bit of a pain to get started with it being so cold, so I gave it a squirt of Nos, but the battery was to flat by then to fire it up, so I got it hooked up to the 4x4 and gave it a squirt again, as I thought the other one would have disappeared by then

Tried to start it and got one hell of a bang, the sort of sound like a gun short but ten times louder

So I thought I better check the engine and guess what, I had no air filter the Piper cross viper had blown to bits and the foam was now doing a great job of warming the engine with flames about 6-8 inches licking round the engine bay....lol and me having ripped out the engine grill stood blowing it out from a foot away trying to push my head through the top slot...lol

I ended up grabbing a couple of hand fulls of burning foam and pulling it out, this got more comical as it stuck to my fingers...lol

Guess what though it started great after that, so I left it off and drove a 250 mile round trip, bought a cheap halfords enclosed filter on the way home

when I fitted it I found the old air filter has also ripped the top off the carbon canister.....all good fun an its still running great

I'll get some pics at some point

Note to Self.....Buy K&N rather than foam filter :ohmy:
