AWeb80 Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 Pics here I still gotta get it buffed out and Powdercoated white. I basically "snaps" in to place. I fits snugg under the front cross member and there is a lip on the battery tray that it wedges into against the side of the car. The "cold air" comes from by the horns and the hole behind the headlights. Installation pics of the CAI Quote

AWeb80 Posted December 20, 2005 Author Report Posted December 20, 2005 That was a PAIN in the butt to make....I took a rubber hammer and used a 3" round bar to "beat" the shape into it and then welded it.....well, I can't weld, but a guy that I work with did. Quote
terryk2003 Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 I Seriously want one of those...that'd be sweet for a L67 swapped car! Quote
pwmin Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 looks pretty good. you have it installed for the mini-meet? that does look like a pia. cant wait to see it installed. sounds like you probably put in almost the same amount of total time for that as i did. Quote
z284pwr Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 You just need to find someone with a metal bender now and that could definitely be mass produced No hammering required, just run it back and forth until the bend it correct, make templates of them straigt, and bend as needed Quote
slick Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 Kinda like my heat shield, except yours is better! Quote
manitcor Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 nice work man, once its polished people are going to ask you what compnay made that. Quote
SigEpCutlass Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 now i remember you relocated the battery in pics you showed before. Did you put it back? B/c now it looks like it's not going to require a relocation. Quote
birdman Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 like it alot, thats exactly what i was in the process of doing but you beat my to it. you gonna mass produce it? Quote
AWeb80 Posted December 20, 2005 Author Report Posted December 20, 2005 No mass production......it was hard enough to get the curves right.....i even go lucky to have the tolerances just right so that it "snaps" into place....that is hard to reproduce..... Quote
EurosportZ34 Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 that looks pretty good for homemade. reminds me somewhat of slick's. notice any difference with it? Quote
