What does the build plate say? I have a feeling this might be a BT1, making everything on it stock (the SS interior, front power windows etc)

You need to put those calais side moulds on asap (or sell them to me cheap )

[BradCalais]

yeah the build plate doesn't say anything bout it bein a BT1, i went to just commy spares and got the stock CAI and went to install it, but all the gas system was in the way, so i went next door and saw my mate at Auto barn and he hooked me up with a K&N air filter and adapter plate, along with some red silicon hosing to replace the old crappy tattered shit.... just got back from a test, and jezuz does the intake roar, not much of an increase in performance, but still looks alot nicer :P

oh and stealth, spats are mine hahaha

You just wasted your money man. The stock airbox with a panel filter runs better than a pod. Now your just sucking in hot air.

just thought i'd pus some interior pix in and some randoms =)...

even if i install a heat shield?

[BradCalais]

the standard airbox had a 3" rectangle hole in it, with no piping going anywhere, so i rekon it was just sucking hot air b4 anyway rly... but yeah dunno

[STEALTHY™]

Thats just a restrictor.

And you really need a completely enclosed box for it to have any effect, but why bother spending hundreds to fabricate something, when the normal airbox, with a factory cold air intake does the job fine
Then the rectangle hole is covered (and just feeds air front the front of the car)

yeah i wish i could dude, but the gas system is RIGHT in the way of where the piping for the standard cold air goes to the top of the radiator, so if i do that ill have to remove the gas system (future plan)

Going by the pics, the stock CAI and airbox will work perfectly fine with the gas system.

[BradCalais]

nah man. i wish, i went a bought the whole setup for stock CAI this morning and the pipe goin from the Box to the CAI on top of the radiator would have to go strait thru the gas mixer coming off the TB.... its hard to explain, ill show u if u come and look at the calais... deal?

[STEALTHY™]

I'll take your word for it. Just going by the pics with the stock airbox, there'd be enough room for clearance

[BradCalais]

Chop Chop mofo. :P
