Air intake
« on: 19 October 2009, 19:34 »
Just a quickie, the air intake on the 16v is in the engine bay, surely it would be more sensible to have it infront of the rad or somthing. I there a simple mod that can be done so its not taking in warm sh!tty air?
Thanks alot, sam

Wrong place then chap - don't ask for help, then moan when someone gives is.

As far as I'm concerned, cold air ducts are a waste of time on road cars, at 30+ mph, the volume of air being forced through the engine bay is massive, the air supply should always be cold. Popping one on might help when getting RR'ed - but its not exactly a real world situation.
