Ill grab some photos tomorrow, 200 miles from the car at the moment.

Its pretty simple really, replace factory feed with section of plastic pipe 5x the size and add another.

Love what you've done to your car.

Here are a few photos of the airbox on the car, pretty simple really but it must help things seeing as the factory feed is so small!

The car was run on the rolling road with just the feed in the location of the factory one (PD130 intake pipe with small lines) then last week I added the extra bit of ducting.

not too bad, I wonder if there is anything to gain by taking out the plastic grid work inside the airbox.

Also would cutting the front off below the air filter help?

do you get any induction noise from this or a cone filter?

[Max M4X WW]

Cutting the front off? If I'm reading this correctly the air would no longer be coming from behind the headlight area but the engine bay. For the photos I removed the air deflector thing which comes out to get to the headlight bulbs but this keeps the hot air out!

There is a little bit of induction noise, the car wasn't that loud with a cone filter anyway but there is about 60% of the whistle that I had with the cone and not a lot of the 'roar'

Going from the distinct dirt mark that you get on the paper air filters, It doesn't look like the air gets much of a choice where it goes so doubt smoothing the box will help - any gains from this sort of thing will be minimal on these engines anyway.

hi there, nice upgrades to your car

do you got any pics how u did change the steering wheel ?

got to do it also; but mine isn t a strait swap

would like some info

Cheers

I just removed the old one and fitted the one you see in the photos, straight swap!

[geryS2]

is the steering wheel fitted with a square back plate as this one ?

[Max M4X WW]

Yes, It must be from a Late Airbag S2 or Cabriolet.

ok thanks for info, mine is from 1993 and original steering doesn t have one, which meens no straight swap,

cheers

Fit the three spoke sport steering wheel without an airbag, its what I had on my other 80..

[geryS2]
