Dad dug out an airbox from a suby or mitsubishi last time he was at the pull a part, it fits so well behind the right headlight, you'd think it was stock! That's what'll hold the filter, and then I'll have a little elbow connecting the two. I'll take some pictures. The guy I was supposed to be teaching right now rescheduled, so I have time!

Teaching someone? You? Does it involve small farm animals?

Coming from the guy that live in BFE.... We should be checking YOUR place for disturbed animals.

I run Seattle Photography Lessons. I teach Photography and Post Production on Adobe Photoshop/Lightroom and Apple Aperture.

Oh...Apple aperture...I knew it would be something kinky... "he, he...he said aperture "(think Butthead voice here)

Are you still doing the gutter thing...er I mean eaves drop as they say in Canadia??

No, not really. I can run leads for my buddy if I want to, but I quit the corporate retardation awhile ago. My main sources of income now-a-days are Timm Von Derau - the photographer, and Seattle Photography Lessons.

Need something? Or just curious?

We do post production in our dark room! What's this Adobe you speak of? Some kind of building?

Curious...other than pick at your car building (or lack of ) we haven't talked in a long time.

Ah, yeah. Been busy with lots of stuff (namely planning and starting two businesses and finishing up classes).

I'll actually be calling you soon, I have some questions about my car, so, be ready! haha

But yeah, I quite GutterMaxx in July I think it was, as corporate has their head up there ass. I had a 29.5 percent closing average, most deals on the board, and they were mad because I didn't have enough cancellations. I had one.

Note the "NOT ENOUGH" part. WTF? They want me to push harder? No thanks, happily in the front of the pack, not about to turn into uber douche salesman. I'll stick with helping people solve their problems in the most cost effective way, not trying to sell them shit they dont need.

It's pretty amazing how much mid-guided pressure is in the sales world. Anything from the poor clerk at Target being forced to pedal corporate credit cards , the clerk at Sears selling extended warranties on hose clamps, the bank teller who is required to look at your personal acct screen and upsell products , all while trying to do their actual job in an accurate and timely fashion. Yup, much corporate thinking sucks big time.

Yeah, it was stupid.

Updates!







So the filter lives in that round box, and while there is a hole in the center of the lid, I'm thinking about moving the elbow to the edge of the lid so the bend isn't sooo ridiculous. It's really tight and I'm trying to not have to get a new airbox. I'll get more pics up one I feel motivated to actually manually upload things vs using facebook. My phone decided it no longer wanted to take pictures today... So I can't just quickly upload them, haha.

Steve, I checked out that part number, those look perfect for both the fuel cell and this! Thanks!

Not much room for flex. Could you reverse the flow of the cleaner? Come out of the side, up the inner fender and over into the center to the air box? Have the inlet just bend down 90* behind the radiator.

Very shortly I will be building an air box for twin Weber DCOE's for a buddy of mine. I decided that due to underhood space restrictions I am just going to use a foam panel filter in lieu of a remote filter. Essentially half the airbox will be an air filter.

I got me some medium and fine Uni flat foam filtration material, and some stainless mesh to help hold its' shape. About $40 worth of material, and lots of surface area.

You wouldn't happen to be able to dig up that college dissertation on WRC airboxes would you? I would love to take a look at it.
