oooook my new new intake setup: The cheap, ghetto cold air box
ok, after some criticism and suggestions yesterday, i came up with a new setup for my intake,
I made the cold air box pieces out of 2layrs of cardboard, one layer of paper, and one lair of aluminum foil. I used electrical tape for everything because we have a shitload of it laying around. It looks ghetto etc, but as far as i can tell it seems to do the job.
The first pic is before, last pics are after

I see you like tie-wraps too, lol...Get rid of all that AAS wiring (both strut towers) It's beefy hi-current stuff that weighs a ton (not really QUITE a ton, but you get the picture)...I just completed mine out of 1/8" Lexan (with aluminum angles riveted to it for air ramps & attach points)

Ghetto? That bad boy soils the good name of Ghetto!
Just kidding - it actually looks like a decent design. You can even use those cardboard pieces as a template and make it out of metal now!
Now just don't forget step 2:
You have successfully kept hot air away from the filter - now all you have to do is get cold air to it!

Ditch the washer fluid bottle and go CAI!!
The way I have mine set up you actually might be able to keep the washer fluid bottle, since I made my whole kind of away from it. Not sure though, since it was already gone when I did the install.
Here's a couple different threads on how to do it -
This one is what mine looks like, even though the way I started out I had not planned on going this route. Unfortunately I did some bad planning (cut the hole before seeing where things line up
) but it's ok. Once I go turbo'd 6port I will have to redo it anyways, and I have it figured out. Anywways https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...hreadid=305195
The one I had planned on doing, and the piping I bought to correspond to it is thise one -
