Was having a think today about doing away with the air filter that's in the engine bay as it's probably soaking up the heat. I don't know if the air box has to be a specific size for volume of air but i'll run the idea i have in mind.
I'm looking at moving the battery inside the car but that's another question, so in moving the battery it will give me more room in the bay to put an air box in place.
My proposed plan is to use a GTT cylindrical airbox and fabricate each end to allow a flexi pipe to attach to each end. 1 end will attach to the inlet, the other will run down towards the foglight duct. So will the GTT filter box be too small? I ask as there are CDA carbon canisters out on the market that look the same size, and the air filter on the car now looks about the same diameter.
Silly idea??
