Well this has been a bit of a long running challenge for me ..

The car needed an air filtration system..

Originally I thought minimalist, with something like a mesh airfilter



But they are not great for engine life as all they really stop are large stones and not fine grit.

Next I bought some ITG Mega flow air filters but they would not fit between the alloy trumpets
so they went on ebay ..


So it looked like the only option was a custom solution, as it had to fit around the alloy trumpets, alloy access to the rocket covers for maintemance of the solid lifter tappets, alloy easy removal of the thottle cable, mounts for return springs, clear fuel intectors ann fuel rain.

So out with the fibreglass and a few winter months later this is the result:









Did I mention it has lights biggrin

Next I just have to run pipes to either side to air filters ..

Actually I prefer the inner wing location as its nice and cool. The back of the airbox has a lot going on with the throttle set-up and needs easy access.

Definately would have been if I used the power feed from each of the fuel injectors .. biggrin

You would be amased how difficult getting 8 leds and power and earth feeds into a very small heat shealded chanel.

Those amps and subs will take up all the boot space but on the positive side might help to improve traction off the line biggrin

Will probably need something that powerful to overcome the noise from the exhaust.
