As in what? Do you want to see what intake manifolds we have and to compare, or do you want to see what air filters we are using? Please be more specific.

Heres mine...settin on top of the reworked nikki...that black hose runs down...goes thru a hole in the shielding...then hooks into the airdam thing...bumper...whatever you want to call it...



it's my 5 dollar ram air mod



oh...plus all the holes drilled in the breather cover...those help out quite a bit

was gonna post pics, but you have a 12a car so it wouldn't really help. falcoln0014 has a good setup for you. Another idea is to cut a hole in the sheet metal shroud that the radiator mounts to and route your hose through there under the nosepiece/in front of the radiator so you're sucking cold air. The 13b cars already have the hole cut.

I've got the rest of my intake setup laying on the floor right now...and after I figure out how im going to mount it...when its light again...i'll get some good pictures and post em up...i was having trouble finding something to use for an intake...and i stumbled upon some 6" to 3" stove pipe...that sewage pipe mounts perfect over it...and a PVC 3" T pipe...sort of



like I said...i'll put pictures of the setup on here providing I can get it to work...and I think I can...not sure tho...i've got several air box lids around...and I'm thinking a ram-air setup might work better without the holes drilled in the lid...but...if its pushing air into the breather the holes might be a good thing...so it doesn't push too much...like a passive blow-off or something...i dunno...guess it'll take some experimentation...as always
