The stock air box and intake tube are already a "cold air intake". I put it in quotes because there is no such thing as an intake that will pull cold air; just ones that will pull ambient air. Air is pulled from in front of the radiator / up through the bumper. The stock box is also not a restriction on N/A cars, so custom intakes (even when plumbed to an ambient air source) are primarily for looks. And the ones that just stick a cone filter on a tube (with no box of some kind) are actually hot air intakes. If you're looking for a potential slight gain, you can use a K&N drop-in filter.

Any auto parts store will have the K&N drop in filter.
Any of the rotary vendors will sell you an adapter that allows you to mount a cone filter on you AFM. You can also get them on eBay.
But if you want a true cold air intake with an aftermarket cone filter, you'll need to fabricate your own.

you can get a cone filter and adapter for the AFM and make a custom box with an inlet area somewhere near the front bumper if you want alittle cooler air BUT its almost the same as the stock. ive just been putting a cone filter on with adapter and leaving it at that.

If interested, pictures of my intake setup are in this thread: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/diy-cold-air-box-830116/. With this kind of design, intake temperatures are inline with the stock intake. I have the datalogs to show it.

K&N makes an overpriced cone filter kit for an FC. It's something like $150 for a filter and AFM adapter. You can buy an AFM adapter on ebay for $10, and then get whatever filter you want. I like AEM's dryflow filters, which don't require oiling.

Im pretty sure corksport makes the headlight cover with a vent but i never had one. i was thinking of getting one and yeah i know that its over priced. i got my last air flow meter adapter off of ebay and used a spectre intake but im thinking of getting the hks intake on my new fc.
