New Airbox

I've picked up the air box for the GT6 as they had finished the TIG welding. Seems they spent quite some time on it with the two long seam welds required and there was very little distortion. The box is held in place with dzus fasteners and seal with a closed foam single sided adhesive strip.



It was a concern that the air inlets might not be big enough, they certainly did not look quite right. The long drag up my favourite hill seemed to confirm my suspicion and it is down on power, so I need to go for larger inlets. I'd really like to go for a pair of 3" (76mm) inlets, but the issue then becomes how to route the two large pipes to the front of the car, a bit more head scratching required here I think.
