PICTURES--Building my carbon air box stage II

[BOOSTMEISTER]

Check out the link below for some pics of me making the carbon air box for my car. I have only had the chance to make the side and will make the top tonight. After completion I will add some ducting to draw cold air into the box.

[U WERE MINE]

boostmeister.. very nice buddy!!..

any chance of u making up a template??

[BOOSTMEISTER]

Mate I'd love to help you guys out but there are to many variables.

Airfilter type and mounting

Intercooler piping

other piping etc.

If you come up with a template I can quote on cutting the carbon.

It took me ages to get the template just right. Wish it was just a straight piece with a lid...OH well life wasn't meant to be. .......

[U WERE MINE]

yeah i suppose ay.. oh well im just gonna buy a piece adn slowly cut file etc etc untill its right.. but as u said.. i think its gonna take aaaaagees...

how much for the carbon?? and approx how much are you going to need to finish the box.

[BOOSTMEISTER]

Overall size of the piece is 530x700mm cut into two pieces and bolted together. will have more pics tomorrow Carbon tht size is um well not cheap to say the least. I got it a bit cheaper as it was spare but I am also paying the guy to make a bonnet so that helps too. So sorry but I don't know what it normally costs.

A bonnet? $$$$KA-CHING$$$$ Should look bloody sweet though!

[BOOSTMEISTER]

First bonnet is always the big expense $4000 or so but the ones after that get cheaper so strt saving?

Spent wed night makeing the lid for the air box, was a good way to fill in 6 hours before the movies (Starwars Episode II). Here are the final pics.

Originally I was going to cut a section out of the lid for part of the air filter as it was too high, but I hav edecided to buy a smaller filter, so if anyone wants a BLITZ metal airfilter with adapter let me know. $80 + postage good condition.
