intake idea bad or good
I was thinking of cutting a hole in the bottom of the air box to let more air in is this a bad idea since the radiator is right below will i gain anything:scratch. Tell me what you think.

Did it
Hi, I did it, and it worked like a charm.
I was impressed with the change in response and performance for such a little change (cut a hole, made a "duct" to the side of the rad, dropped in a K&N, and... Fantastic!
I used the "even cheaper bastard air intake mod" and I would recommend it to anybody with stock intake. I have now moved to PFS intake and SMIC

Constant threat
One of THE best intake mods, actually. I did it years ago, ran a little duct made from a hose used to bring hot air off an exhaust manifold to carburetors...you know, that silvery flexible-but-stiff hose. With a bit of perseverance you can form the 'front' end of it into an oblong shape that JUST fits beside the radiator and the frame rail, so it snarfs nice cold air right from the front of the car. An added benefit to this is you avoid the known problem of air reversion thru the splitter, the piece that 'splits' air between the intercooler and stock air box. In certain circumstances air will flow BACKWARDS thru the intercooler and into the airbox...NOT good.
Cutting a hole in the bottom adds CFM capacity thru the box.
