If you scroll up to post #77 you will see the mail slot scoop and the scoops in the lower facia, these new pics are how they are tied in to the filter housing.

Hi all. Haven't done much to my car lately as I have been quite busy and have been enjoying the cam and related mods. As usuall necessity will dictate my next mod. With the completion of all the scoops it was necessary to remove the waher bottle. None of the available relocation kits will work with my set up. Because of bugs,pollen and bird shit I am forced to deal with it, so I will be fabricating and relocating a washer bottle next. I know what I will be doing and will post pics as I the fabrication progresses.

It's been a while since I've had a chance to work on my car but finally couldn't take the pollen and bird shit so I devoted some time this weekend to my washer bottle. I have to fit it one more time and make the resevoir cap then I can weld the bung and mounting tabs and install it permanently. Here is a quick shot of it.

Had a chance to make the resevoir cap, now I can mount it in the cavity under the front of my airaid cai and it is finished.

Finally had some time to finish my washer relocation. It holds 1 qt of fluid which is adequate. You can see in the photo's the cavity at the front of the intake, I utilized that area for the tank.

I haven't updated this thread in a while as I have been super busy. I am in the process of selling my shop, the sale should be complete within the next month or two. After that I will be setting up my new shop which will be devoted more to fabrication than repairs. This will free up more time to develope and fabricate a handful of parts I have been working on. Stay tuned for some cool stuff.

Thanks. I haven't gone anywhere I've just been so busy I haven't had much time to play with my car and new ideas but I have been tinkering with a few things that I will be persuing in the near future.

One thing I am doing is playing around with making a few components out of real carbon fibre. Not wraps or fabric but plate. I have a few pieces coming in in a day or two. I will be machining grips for my manual shifters out of it. If it machines well I will be making more items with it including a few ideas I have not yet posted

This is something I have not seen a lot of interest in so it's been on the back burner. If some interest is shown I will see what I can do in providing it in kit form.

Did you see ACS made a rad support that works with the mailslot if you cut a hole out. Not as an intake just as an engine compartment vent.
