Green Direct Performance kit aka:
The replacement of the Air Intake on the redbarchetta.
The barchetta's character is very well suited for modifications, be it optical, technical, acoustical, Rims, Exhausts, Turbo's, Bears, Ducks, Spoilers, in short more
then we care to imagine.
On my barchetta I prefer to do acoustical modifications. My opinion is that the barchetta needs a bit more of a racy sound. So after one year I replaced the standard exhaust by a stainless steel one.
And that was it for a few years although I did want to fit a different inlet air filter.
In the summer of 2000 I saw a replacement performance kit (on the Bernard Neidiger site), but this kit didn't sound nice and was too
noisy to suit my taste. During the summer of 2001 I heard the Green direct performance kit that was fitted in the barchetta of a Dutch club member. This one did sound nice; a good inlet sound, but not too noisy. This was
definitely my kit!
I placed an order and waited, the delivery time of the kit was supposed to be two weeks but it took 5 weeks before I received a relieving phone call, the performance kit had arrived. The price included
fitting, an appointment was quickly made and I took my camera with me.
Since the manual was completely in French, a language no one seemed to understand, the fitting took a wee bit longer then we thought.
Fitting actually means carrying out the following work (look at the pictures below.)
