Thanks for your replies to my headlight cover post, I think I'm just gonna wait till CompuBob makes them. So now I'm looking for a cold air box but the mariah one is a bit too pricey for me, anyone know anyone else that makes them or do you have a spare one lying around?

 

I know a guy who got one off ebay for pretty cheap. it actually wasn't all that bad.

 

I think Mariah is the only one making them out of lightweight fiberglass. The rest are made out of aluminum or metal flashing.

 

Yah, a lot of guys make their own from metal flashing from the home depot

 

Do you know where I can find plans or instructions to make one?

 

I can't find them on ebay, i've been looking.

 

Yea I am also looking for one for a TII

 

Here ya go:

This is the cold air box that I have in my car. The guy will fabricate them for you for $60 shipped. It's a good deal; it looks much nicer than the ghetto rigged FC3S.org writeup. All you do is give him the dimensions of your filter and he'll hook you up. I got mine in mail maybe 10 days after I ordered it.

Go to Page 5 - all the pics and writeup have been reposted there:

 

Why repost when you can newpost

Custom aluminum welded by Nick86. Some nice rubber stripping ontop would make it look even better.



Adding some weather stripping like Mariah's would make Nick86's aluminum box look even better:

 

Yea those are beaitufl

 

seems like someonething i would do, or just stick the filter down ino the fender

 

How important is a new TID would it be worth spending some cash on one? Or is the stock one just fine?

 

I attached the weather stripping onto the underside of the hood, rather than the top of the box. It seals just as well, and I think it just looked cleaner that way.

 

makes you just want to go out to harbor frieght and buy a welder i think i've commented on it before but again nice box

 

my home depot jobber:

 

Wow that username brings back some memories from when I first joined. I made one of his but it turned out pretty crappy.

 

And his design is flawed. It does nothing to get cold air into the box - it only shields the hot air from the engine. Better than nothing I suppose.
