Deej's mk1 LCR 225

Cheers DK was all done from your thread. Was a massive help. Inside could be smoother which I may do another time. Still have to seal the air feed in properly too yet. You notice much noise difference from the holes? No performance loss through warmer air getting in? How's yours doing? See you stole Toms seats I was badgering him a bit borderline stalking after his clutch and diff.

The feed is Ram Air and it's a plastic 80mm diameter 500mm long. Very strong and will not collapse. As per DK's thread I have smoothed the airbox and used a dremel tool to make the I take hole fit and will cut a piece of black plastic to size to glue and fill in the hole that's left. But of black silicone to seal it all properly then install.

Good work it's a lovely rare interior!

Just fitted the box and I'm undecided as to remove the grill feed that runs to behind the headlight into my feed or not so it stays as more of a "ram" intake or not.....hmmm.

Will post pics when I have decided and it's finished properly. Going to take the air box out again and teflon coat the inside for super smooth air flow

Yeah that's what I thought. But didn't know how the larger feed on it's own behind the light would get air forced into it? Like it does currently through the grills on the oe feed. Take it yours seems ok as it is?

DK I have plans for this intake... Watch this space

Tom no worries, glad your keeping her and she is staying in one piece as she is a lovely example. Just think of me again if you ever part

Thanks for the kind words I'm really happy with how it's coming along. KDS are like magicians with what they have done to the paintwork it's mint all over.

Doing major service this month and will be fitting both anti roll bars and injector seals and power gasket on inlet manifold.

Should all meet up sometime of were are all south east?

When it's dried properly il put a couple finished shots up and hopefully my teflon spray will arrive to coat the inside of the airbox while it's off.

Teflon spray arrived so I coated the inside of the air box and re fitted. Also removed the annoying but of standard feed behind the head light so my larger one fits just nicely!
