It's on there: http://www.1300cc.com/howto/how2/frontend/phase4.htm



He moved his rad back, moved the coolant tank, and made custom piping from the airflow meter...







Unless you think it looks that good, don't waste the money on the headlight duct. Even with the hood flappy rubber **** cut out and a cold air box fabricated, it still doesn't give much cold air. The hole on the KSP cover is like 3/4" high by 2" wide.

So assuming the headlight duct is not functional, and relocating air intake in front of rad would be the best bet, I'll continue with my next question:

Looking at the 1300cc site, I was wondering if there's a way to relocate the air intake if I not replacing and relocating the radiator. Info appreciated.



Ok, that wasn't actually a question, but you get the idea.

hey baldy, if you switch your air intake to infront of your radiator, you gonna keep the headlight scoop? if not, i can provide some money and my home address. eggcellent.

I don't have a headlight scoop, I was just weighing the options

U could remove the windshield washer fluid resovoir and cut through the chassis into the passenger side brake duct.

like j9fd3s said:



teh rubber piece on the hood behind the headlight cover blocks any air from coming if...so if you get one of the scoop covers...make sure you take that rubber piece off or the scoop is definataly not working! haha
