Ok I went around to my mate "OnTheRunPerformance" today & they got me this new air intake.

Anyway for anyone who is interested, they are selling them for $150, that’s with all the piping, the silicone join where the TB is & a pod filter. Their number is (03) 9899 3260

These pics are taken at an underground car park, so they aren't the best, but it is something for now, until I find some time to take some better one.

That looks rather nice!!!

Dont suppose you know if they would just do the pipe. I have an ARC running off a standard pipe at the moment. Want to get a ARC chamber for it eventually, but in the mean time, if the price on the pipe was reasonable.....

I don't see why not, i had the Rush pod filter before this, but some smart ass decided to "nick" my original silicone adaptor for it, so i just got a new pod filter instead.

Anyway give them a buzz, & i'm sure they can origanise something for you.

They just your normal windscreen sunshade, I got the idea when I saw them on few cars at the drag strip 5yrs ago.

I've got a pipe running from the front to the "boxed" area. You will find there is a large "hole" section just behind the air-con condenser. I also left the original piping for the OEM air box. So technically I’ve got two pipes scooping air from the front.

I forgot to mention, this kit are for GPX only, & the battery i've got there are the full size 4WD one, so if you got a normal battery, it won't be as tight as mine.

Can you take some pics of the pipes you have going from the front into the box, ive been wanting to do this for ages but havent really worked out an effective way yet....

Air intake is looking sweet 8)

That piping looks really nice. what size opening is at the end of it, i was thinking of mating it to a 75mm Ralliart air intake.

Kev, do you know if the silicone comes in blue? Also, im assuming that they do not post to Sydney, judging by what akuma said. I will PM you on this if i decide i have the cash to burn, but do you think we could come to some sort of arrangement where i could pay you and you could arrange pick up and postage? There could be a tip involved :wink:

I just rang Johnny, & he said he will post it anywhere at the buyer cost of course, & his going to find out the shopping cost to per capital tomorrow & then let me know. The silicone comes in blue, black, yellow & red. He did mention $150 is pre-assemble, & if you want to kit assembled, which mean is just plug & play, it will be $180.

Don't remember the opening size, as I didn't measure it, & Barfy, I take some pics of the front piping when I can get my car on a hoist, as its easier to see from underneath.

Just ordered mine! :D

Just a quick question, how much louder is it than a standard air intake with an apexi exhaust? At idle speeds is of most concern to me as i live in a townhouse complex!

VERY EXCITED!!!
