You won't get a "direct fit" hose kit but you can buy silicone hose and make it fit - best bought on ebay. The top hose can be made from a bit of straight hose if you're running an induction kit, but straight hose won't fit around the standard airbox. Best option is to find a supplier, give them your standard hoses and ask them to make silicone replacements

Does anybody know of someone who will make up hoses to order? I don't like the idea of kinking a straight hose to fit... Also, I found this Demon Tweeks/Samco Blue Silicone Coolant Hose Kit for a Protègè 323, any ideas as to compatibility? |

There are a few companies that make up custom kits but either it will cost in the range of £100-£250 or they will expect you to have a minimum of 10 ordered. Roose Motorsport make them and just do a quick google search and see what comes up |

I used straight hose for mine, it won't kink unless you bend it very far, which you don't need to do. I used straight pipe to replace the bottom rad hose too, and it only kinked slightly, still worked fine, held up to a thrashing around Castle Combe too  Look for some ebay sellers, some of them will make you up a kit at varying costs. Top/bottom hoses: ID of 28mm Expansion hose: ID of 8/9mm Screenwash hose: ID of 3/4mm Oil/breather hoses: ID of 8/9mm |

We bought these hoses from Viper performance to replace the large rad hoses, it's not a "standard" diameter, so can take a couple of weeks for production. They used to offer "ribbed" or "smooth" from memory think it was about £45 for a metre length.
