Baboo - this thread is for you...

Man - look at the size of that ARC intake! They have moved the battery to fit the thing :D

With all those mods it is interesting to note they are using the stock calipers and rotors (just heat treated).

[nexace]

Man...you're putting bad ideas in my head! I have to keep telling myself: it's a family car, it's a family car, it's a family car..

:P

OMG! now THAT'S an intake...

[tuffAC]

[Pum[Z]]

Thats a bloody huge airfilter... That belongs on like a truck and not on a euro :D

[Chris_F]

i wonder why they didnt go for a cold air setup....

[euro77]

Last time I checked direct with ARC they don't make induction box for CL7. I guess that's not made for CL7... but I want it.... :(

[baboo]

Whao!!

No GT wing???

I like the one without the bodykit.........weight saving to the MAX!!! LOL

I would say for the same reason many people don't go for cold air set-ups: they don't want a big dead spot low down. The wider the rev range (with the most output) you can play with, the better off you are...
In racing, if you fall off the power band, you're stuffed!

[VirIIx]

Yeah.. nothing like screwing up your gear changing or letting the rev fall when you need it the most, those few small seconds could cost you everything.

[cccoltsicehockey]

I want one of those I have to find someplace that is selling them

[Chris_F]

cccoltsicehockey, let us know if you end up hunting it down.

So is the air filter set up similar as an icebox, or stock style??

[Chris_F]

that big red patch you see is the foam filter exposed in the engine bay if i'm not mistaken?

Looks like it may be -- but you would think that's not such a great idea.
I'm wondering if the whole thing is basically an airbox which is made up of foam filter sides -- so you'd have the same underneath getting cool air and the whole thing can just breathe in huge amounts...

If it is the filter on top, you'd think the car would have a bonnet vent.

[stephen8512]

essentially, isnt it like a SHORT RAM intake? cuz ur sucking up air from within the engine?

[Chris_F]

yea i'd say so but its hard to tell whats underneath... it may be a combo between cold air and short ram torque and hp gains throughout the rev-range id take it?

[me_kevinly]

too ugly in the bay
