Red_Nic Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I bought my car with a plenum spacer fitted. (see profile gallery pic in "Jan 2014" folder). Can you tell me, What benefit does it give me? What would be involved to remove the plenum spacer and return it to standard? - what part? how much £ ? how much effort? I'm asking because it caused complications on my recent insurance renewal. They couldn't find it in their mods list. Privilege eventually put it down as "Air filter +5bhp gain" and increased my compulsory excess from £350 to £550, and increased my premium by £15.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Its a performance mod as far as i'm aware, i'll hapily take it off your hands lol. Thre not cheap to buy new! I'm pretty sure you can just unbolt the plenum, take out the spacer and bolt the plenum back down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndzzz Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Hi Looking at the pic you don't have a spacer but a Kinetix Plenum which is a performance mod. The details are here http://www.kinetixra...ake_plenum.aspx To remove it, it's as Bradders said about unbolting and disconnecting a few hoses. To return to stock you would need an original plenum to replace it with. Edited July 17, 2014 by Lyndzzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 What Bradders said is correct, but have you tried speaking to a specialist insurer, like those on here? They know all about the Zeds and mods are more or less 'free' in many cases... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I don't see the problem with the insurance. From your other thread with regards to this, all the mods you declared = +£15 and an increase on your Excess. And you're paying close to £200 a year Bargain in my eyes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 it is classed as an air intake kit, so if its mentioned id say it was fine. it does add performance but only with a remap. Personally, since its on the insurance now i'd keep it on, however it would be worth a fair bit even in exchange for a standard plenum.

Red_Nic Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 yes you're right. it hasn't increased my insurance by much, unless I cause an accident and then have to pay £550. and its listed now and I think "air filter +5bhp" is ok. I'll review it again next year as i've paid now. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
