Vlt Dreamer - That last one is better and theoretically it should work just as good as a standard VLT one. The first one is one of the single most disgusting things I have ever seen.

Well - im not too keen on paying for new piping and relocating the throttle body (and accell / cruise cables) and possibly having to relocate the power steering fluid reservior either. I'm pretty sure that will cost a lot more than making up a new airbox 1/2 the size of the standard one. I might pop into supercheap and see if theres other panel type filters about 1/2 the size of standard and see if the airbox can be modified - or get some quotes for a custom one with pod filter enclosed in it. out of thin air, would $200 - $300 for a airbox with pod filter be about right ???? or should i budget for more ??

anyone know of any cars with airboxes about 1/2 the size (across the long side) of the VL airbox ?? might be an idea to pick one of those up and adapt it onto the VL.

Go to the wreckers and use the search engine. (your legs)

I took the cross over pipe and airbox out and put the pipes in to mock up where they will actually run - this photo shows how much room i have to work with in regards to a custom airbox.

And another pic just to show how much room above the cold air hole the pipe runs.

sweet **** all room there... Any one you know that mod that particular piping to give you a bit more space?

I wonder if having an airbox below the guard is legal - fabricate a pod into one under the guard.

that's a very good question actually, i wonder if it is? probably being outside the engine bay it would be, but you never know. so long as it's enclosed it might be okay? either way it'd be a bit of a grey area in the regulations so i'd just do it.
