we thought of taking off the bumper and find the hole cut in the panel and making an "S" duct from it to the gap in the bumper.
but drill holes in the first bend up and along the flat planel so any rain water hitting or travelling up would be ejected out of the holes. with my cone i've got a water proof cover but my viper doesnt have that feature

what do you think??
That's pretty much what I was planning on doing to mine in the forseeable future Fabio, nice one
I'd be doing something similar to this:

would line this stuff in the bottem of the airbox

stocks pretty good at draining any water that would be hard pressed to get in, but maybe with those slits it'll have easier access.

ive been having a look round the car for a good source of air and ive noticed a cracking bit down to the left of the standard air source that goes just above the radiator. there is a pointless peice of thin plastice that sits ontop of the radiator, removing this surely will give enough space to fit a cold air feed right out to the slight in the bumper?

thats what we designed the other scoop for but thats a Home-Brew project
scoop is wrapped up and ready to be shipped off tomorrow, with a battered to hell paint job. hehe, also took out my filter to find a dead butterfly... :shock:

Looking good mate! You noticed any difference?
my car is mapped too and with this modified i have a good speed from 2000 rpm to 7200 rpm.... it's a bit loud, but the sound it's very very pretty....
when i mounted the filter without this air scope the car went really really bad!!! now it's better....

I was going to paint the passenger side calipers blue this afternoon, to match the drivers side, but got a bit carried away making this.
Intake scoop - version 1
Firstly I made up a mould from some cavity wall insulation foam, as it is easy to shape. Then wraped it in a layer of cellotape to act as a release layer, before fiberglassing. After destroying the mould to remove it, this is the result
A few more layers of fiberglass required, and make up some attachment lugs, to bolt onto the slam panel

Originaly I had intended to get it made up as a silicon hose, as I was chatting with a guy at FCS. "BakerBM, who normaly do Citron and Pug parts... However, if we get interest in 10, they will make up the mandrels and do a batch, which should be around £60.
The only downside to a silicon hose would be the reduction in the internal size, over the top of the radiator, hence reducing the amount of flow through. Hence the fiberglass version, which is layed up with several layers of glass tissue so far. Aiming for 5 or six layers, for the finished item, which should be reasonably sturdy

single layer of kevlar in the middle would help prevent any cracking.
Streamline recieved mine today, guess they'll make it if theres demands. gutted i couldnt do them myself but doing stuff like that to sell to others requires some high standards of finish
even though mine was out of alumin is still weighed a bomb

Carbonology Kevlar cloth... This and possibly a vac bag, pulled down over a wax mould to do a second version.
I think I'm going to be busy when I get back home
