hey guys. had a few dramas with these boxes.... the lids are so damn hard to fold neatly.

ive come up with a new design, let me know what you think. if it does or doesnt worry you.

Airbox_Side_modded.jpg

ill be using counter sunk allen head screws, so they sit flush with the top, they will also be silver so they wont stand out.

its just so hard to fold the edges over, doing it the other way means all i have to do is cut the shape out and bend some tabs over for mounting the lid.

if you all want the original design, let me know, ill find another way to do it.

cheers

yeh i know the bottom pic looks better dave, but its much harder to get a nice fold. you must remember also that the other pic is photoshopped. it will look much better than it does there. if you want the bottom pic, it requires more labour and more tidy up work.

yeh the screws wont come loose. they havent ever for me, they arent under any stress or movement, so i dont see why they would. but anyway, they wont come loose.

cheers

hey guys, due to the different lid design, i have to buy some extra bits, which incurs a price rise to you guys....sorry, but its either a price rise for parts, or a price rise for labour. me personally, would rather, a price rise for parts. hehehe sorry bout dat.

airboxes will now be $130, sorry but it has to be done.

ive got a heap im making, will be ready to send out by the end of the week.

If you have any doubts as to whether it is legal - go onto the RTA website, and email their technical section, they got back to me quickly in regards to legality of turbo timers in NSW and i'm sure they will help you with this.

They are the ones that monitor the rules and regs of what the ADR's are for NSW so i'd suggest contacting them..

The police are there to enforce them.. and in some cases.. very ruthlessly..

are you sure its not defectable?!?!  It looks great!  wouldn't mind doing that with my car, if you're 100% sure its not defectable :)

Normally about Sydney Moanie they will have to be engineered to be legal. Our engineer has passed all the ones we have fitted to cars and once engineered they are 100% legal. The only thing our engineer has said is that you may be required to do a drive by noise test to ensure the box isnt to loud :confused: damned if i know why but no one has been asked for one as yet

Hey Linton i stuck mine in today and it looks great got to work out a way to get some air in there however no where to pipe anything with the stock cooler pipes =(

Many thanks for the box bro ... tell me when you come up with some other stuff !!!
