    1.9 Air Box Mod

    To all the guys who are doing the 1.9 air box mod has anyone tried, with their original airbox, turning the lid of the box the other way with the entrance facing yourself?

    Just had a look and its a perfect fit!

    Comments are welcome....

    can i see a pic of this?
    i know it wouldnt work on mine lol but im very intrigued!
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    Just had a look at mine and no way it fits, bonnet hits and thats if you can shift the box over closer to the block.
