DIY _ ` airfilter box yO (carbon fibre!)

[Boban]

What issue of ASM was that in, sorry i can't remember it off the top of my head and cbf looking for it (have 30+ issues lying around the room somewhere )
Looks good though man, did u get the aluminium from a hwrdware store or..., and as for cops defecting it for not being OEM, i was thinking of putting "OEM" sticker on it

[RMN15N]

btw i do have an short ram intake already .. diy also.
not sure of what issue.. but its the one with the r32 on the front

Looking good man, almost oem.
I found the issue (37 for anyone interested).
I was thinking of using checkered plate i have somewhere around the house, but it's about 4mm thick so i think it might be a bit heavy. Decisions decisions...
Also i've got the fat intake (whele pen!s) which sits pretty high in the bay so i'm worried i might have issues with the bonett closing if i put anything above it, will try to turn it somehow so it sits lower. You bolted the top part onto the 2 headlight bolts and one on the strut tower right????

I'll see what i can do, will put up some pics if i have any luck with it.

I had a bit of spare time today and this is what i came up with. Didn't have any real plan or set sort of instructions or whatnot, just wanted it to somewhat resemble RMN15N's one. IT's about 90% complete. Superchaps around my area didn't have the carbon fibre film and my nearest autobarn is about 20mins away on the freeway so i didn't go there, but they should have it. For now i just painted the aluminium matt black. Anyways this is what i've done so far, it's not perfect but i'll get there.

[bevis90]

what is this item called and is this avalable at supercheapauto??

[Boban]

which item mate?

[RMN15N]

good stuff.. nice work hijacking the thread! jks..
yeah well the whale penis shouldnt be a problem.. phantom_civic done it at the same time as me. as all the materials were courtesy of him
it fits on nicely and doenst bump the bonnet =)

the carbon fibre film is just called "interior design" somthing.
just ask them they'll know what ur after

btw.. they dont sell it at super cheap no more.. cause lack of interest
they will have whatevers there and thats it.. they wont restock so be quick or just drop into
autobarn

[Boban]

Lol, sorry about hijacking ur thred man, didn't mean to but it was a lot of help. I went to autobarn today and got some cf film so it's all sweet.

With my one, because the hole has to be bigger for the intake i had a lot of messing around to do especially around the clutch line. Can you pretty please put up a close up pic of your bottom part. Thanx

[RMN15N]

oh the clutch line..yeah my ones made to fit around all that.. took a long time to make those weird shapes so it'd fit flush on the bottom

ill take pix sometime tomorrow

and about the hijacking the thread, its a joke.. i dont mind
as long as it helps everyone =D
