cold air intakes...??
That bumper should have "steal me" with an arrow pointing to the filter! (Although I seriously doubt the filter looks like that now) Yep...they sure look good when they're new, don't they?
BMW has a good idea and I tried it.Atleast the filter.Looked for one that would fit in that opening but no go all were to small.So I did it another way and and it works a true ram air system no water gets into the filter assm and it works fine for boost levels up to 6 over stock.No MAF spikes when at idle to wot or weird readings. Been using it for almost 4 years and still going strong.Stan

Any pictures of what you are talking about?
Very innovative as usual Stan. I know exactly where you have routed your hose as I have something very similar on mine.
I'm surprised nobody has figured it out. Are you still drawing air from the fender?
I really like the aero treatment on the front. That material is hockey rink stuff isn't it? You guys have those down there? I bet there still wondering where that piece went
I would like to do something similar. I still need to give it some thought. Still looking for black material which is sturdy enough to withstand the force of the wind.
Thanks for sharing.

Pit,
I think you're on the low side. It was probably closer to 180mph...
I'll always remember his story at the Silver State where he was near 180 (in a farm truck
) and he noticed his rpms going up but wasn't going faster. His rear wheels were airborne
I challenge anybody to come up with a better one.

Thats exactly what I was hoping to see! Thanks Stan.
I was hoping it didn't look too goofy without fogs.
