Finally got around to fogging me airbox & thought you might like to see a few piccies.
I brought all the bits needed a while ago from the local hardware store (100mm ally tumble dryer hose, plastic reduction piece, etc) but when I got it
all home.....thought fuk this, I aint putting bloody washing machine bits on my beautiful BMW. So started looking for something a bit nicer that would do the job.
Enter 'pipercross cold air induction kit', basicly just a flexible hose & a pair of bellmouths. Perfect. They do make them in 100mm diameter but I decided on a 75mm pipe, makes for a much neater install & I doubt very much if the smaller diameter will restrict air flow noticably.
so, whip the airbox out & cut the 3" hole with a holesaw (so much easier than a dremel). Offer up the bellmouth to airbox & drill fixing holes in situ.

& back in the car. (note new horn mounting on side of airbox)

Car pulls much better at higher rpm now & it only took a couple of hours (and I like to take me time).
