Cool Air

Just finished the cool air intake for my 88 n/a. It consists of two scoops that sit under the brake scoops. A 1in tube takes air from the scoops up to the air box. The air box is made of plex glass and is open only from the front.
Thanks for any constructive critisim / advise that could help improve this project

You cant link pictures directly from your computer. You need to upload them onto a website that will host them (such as attach it to a post using the "attach picture" thing at the bottom of the post reply page) and then you can put the link for that in the IMG tags.

A 1" tube would be suffucient to feed a small lawnmower engine. It is totally inadequate to feed a car engine, and will be making zero difference. Aim for at least 3" duct if you want any gains.
