**gldgti** · 01-09-2007, 02:26 PM

well i did some DIY'ing today, alah bunnings style cold air intake and cone filter for the LS with the weber dgv....

also, i figured you guys havnt seen the new car really so i thought i'd give you some pics 'n specs...

...the filter, as seen by the oncoming cold air...

...the pipe that carries all the goodness...

...the adapter for the pipe onto the redline filter holder. i havnt modified the holder, all i did was make a dummy filter out of some 13x50mm HD rubber from clark rubber, then used a 50x100x90mm pvc stormwater adapter to go from the front of the old filter housing to a round pipe. a 90-65mm reducer, 65mm pipe to a 45deg 65mm bend, and the cone filter goes right on the end of the bend..

whole thing cost me less than $20, i or $50 inc the filter....

car is riding on the old 14x6's from the gld. i have koni red adjustables in the rear, bilstein adjustables in the front. king lowering springs in rear and spax lowering progressive rate coils on the front. 22mm front sway bar, lower wishbone brace.

2.25" exhaust, extractors, weber 32/36 dgv carbie on otherwise stock 1600.

its a hoot! those with a keen eye will notice the rear wheels stick out quite a bit, 12mm spacers under the rear stub axles on each side helps a lot....

Nice DIY, creative set up, thats going to work well too, who needs a $300 induction kit when you can diy. Great job.

Has a Citi Golf look about it (which I like) IMO.

I'm inspired! I have a 1900cc Audi engine in the bay, and the same webber32 sandwich filter.

I have been frequenting a Bunnings for plumbing gear recently (another project - SPUD CANNON), so i'll grab a filter and some induction plumbing and post a picture when i've done it!

then I'll mount the spud-cannon on the roof, and have a APC-Golf.

hehehe
