PBOY23 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2007 hey all , i have just put on a pod filter with some piping this is my first attempt at this i had to cut down some pipe source a bit of samco hose and make a brace which links up to the factory airbox mount there is a little bit of play so i mite have to make some sort of a new brace , i dont think i have made any power (feels a bit diffrent but nothing to go on about) but it is a definatly loud awsome sound! i took abit of the factory piping of the airbox and fixed it in there for direct airflow - any hints or tips or things i can add to this im thinking a heat shield ? anyway cheers!

jjs 60 Report post Posted June 11, 2007 I think your car would look really good if you colour code the front bumper and side skirts. I had a white E36 and after doing this it lifted the appearance dramatically Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B*Emz 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2007 Haha put it at the top of the list. If it was me I'd be spending my money making it look nice before I put anything towards performance increases, because at the end of the day it's a 320, so you may as well make it a hot one!

jpp 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) If you're going to paint, I'd get the mirrors and lip done same time. Would be cheaper, especially if on a budget. Another thing I'd do is get a new NZ plate, then euro it! /edit; 'Light Gauge Metals' - Onehunga; 6366504. Don't know number, but on Fleming St. I've had quote to make a 3sided 'box' for e30 airbox $80.00. His workmanship is FAR better then the chap down in Hamilton selling them on here. I was quite disappointed by his work. This guy is local, pro, and same price. Edited June 11, 2007 by JP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
