    RS2 Airbox

    Gents,

    I am sure that I am one of many whom is RS2 enhancing their S2 and as a consequence would like to get my hands on a RS2 airbox...the obvious problem is that there are none available.

    Would anyone be able to 'loan' one for a 3D printed version to be made from?
    2nd hiccup is does anyone have a contact for 3D printing in the UK?

    This may result in a group buy?

    Thanks
    Sean

      Thought the ABY airbox was same as for S2 RS2?

        Just get the lid done, the bottom part of an ABY box can be easily modified to match the RS2 by adding a larger inlet port/trumpet
        I will buy an RS2 replica lid if you manage to find someone to make it out of a suitable material

          I believe the Lid of an RS2 airbox with the bottom of an ABY airbox would hit the bonnet if I read correctly on a previous thread?

            hmm maybe, the RS2 lid is taller. Not seen the bottoms next to one another. Would make sense the bottom might be sorter to match

                Where did you read this? I don't remember the bottom
                of my RS2 airbox being shallower than my ABY.

                    Phew at least there is some interest- kinda thought that I was going mad?

                    To start at the beginning- does anyone know of a 3D printer company in the UK?

                    2nd hiccup is to loan an RS2 airbox.

                    Thanks gents.

                              I was offered one recently for €250. Couldn't justify it but then I think the guy decided not to break his car anyway.
