that doesnt make it legal, if you are running another intake mod already ie. front mount that box wont save you from anything. Not sure where your from but in vic anyway.

if you have ONLY a pod filter you dont HAVE to box it for any other purpose then heat soak, which for day to day use is barely worth losing sleep over.

+1 i agree with alex...not worth it..i was think of making one myself...but when my mate done his and th rouble he went through to do it, it wasnt wroth it and it made hardly any difference..

also about it being legal, if the cops know what they looking at, they can easly ask you to show whats inside the box...if there is a pod, bam they will get you for it....well thats what i know....can be wrong...

Fair enough, so what could i do for a cold air intake system without cutting holes?

I've tried putting the pod behind the front bar but when it rains the pod becomes wet.

If anyone has any previous experiences/setups let me know cheers.

like james mentioned, check the DIY secition and the guy with username WYTSKY made on for his car and i am pretty sure the cops didn give him troubles...if you not as much of a handy man, i think he can make you one for some extra cost...

here is the link to his DIY

just use the factory airbox?

solves your problem, works perfectly fine, and then let's you run a FMIC.

win win win really.

^^ What Ash said or,

Remove the heat shield or make hole in the heat shield and put your stock cold air take back on so it feeds air to the pod.

If you feel the need to still have a pod on.

Hi and thanks but wont it be illegal to have a front mount and pod ?

to what i know it is...thats why just get a standard air box...they work perfectly like ash said...his car is a rally quick track car and he uses standard (i think) coz they are better...i have spent money into going standard...so if you are spending money and dont have standard box go standard...otherwise leave it standard... ;)

I've got a proper made one had it for 2 years now and i havent got harrassed. its not legal no because techically your hiding youd Pod filter or one of ur supposed 2 intake mods second being your cooler or CAI. u get caught go put airbox back on and done.. if u have one

Nice mod Arthur...but if you're going to do that, you might as well just use a panel filter? I though the whole point of the pod was to have a loud intake sound...is that any louder than the factory airbox?

LOL NICE.. shine torch down their though gg

Yeah am in process of trying to make some plastic covers as u can just see the filter poking out,

Also to cover the old cooler pipe holes..Bit trickier than i first anticipated, but ill get there..

Edit 4 birds..yeah bottom of airbox is cut out, you can hear it and it draws air from the holes underneath where the cooler pipes used to be as well as the snorkel..I ran it for a bit with panel filter and box stock but it didnt feel as quick..

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
