From memory it is a VS Series 3 Airbox and possibly unique to the L67. I've also got a new one in a box that I haven't yet fitted. Thoughts on putting on an AVO crossover pipe and doing new black cooler piping to match? Also would like to change the radiator for a stock one. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I'd like to change the 3" cooler piping to 2.5" and put on the factory intake pipes. I agree that the exhaust heat shield needs to be painted. I'll have to see how it runs putting the AFM back in the stock location. I've been toying with the idea of running a Haltech Elite 750 insude a factory ECU housing so I can do away with the AFM and see what I can get out of the high flow setup + some GTR injectors.

I just got the same AVO pipe, and I am using it soon. Can't wait.

So glad you still have this. When the new owner drove it away the night I sold it I knew I made a big mistake and that was nearly 13 years ago. My favourite car of all time that I still think about and a perfect example of a VLCT. If I wasn't buying a house I'd make you an offer you couldn't refuse.
