First, a cardboard template. Then the for the holes in the backing plate and a mock up to the carbs. Next up was the installation of the toggle latches to the box. Simple enough but taking care to get them positioned accurately.
Following a trial fitment of the box to backing plate, I decided to opt for a thicker edge seal to get a tighter fit of the 2 parts together and so the latches hold securely. A few trial and error fitments and some minor tweaks and it was secure. It’s quite snug up to the suspension turret and battery, but there was enough room, just! Looks great in the natural finish as supplied IMO.
On next to the pipe work. An ebay cold air kit plus A silicone reducer and straight hump connector were purchased. The hump connector fits perfectly in the hole in the rad support and holds everything nice and firm. The cone filter just clears the bonnet mechanisms.
I decided to install gauze filters on the trumpets inside the airbox just as an additional line of safety.
I took the car for a brief test run and it certainly felt a little more pokey and responsive especially in 3-4.5k range. Nothing to prove it has helped performance or BHP but I’m really pleased with it.
