Few cheeky pictures of my updated engine bay, the induction pipe that came with my 2nd hand Raceland wasn't long enough to get it sitting where I wanted it, so a few bits from Ebay have got it sitting much better. A modified slam panel for a bit more airflow and it's a definite improvement.







Some pictures of how I've done the brackets, slam panel has been drilled and I've bolted them into it. Power steering reservoir bracket was knocked up quickly it's not the tidiest but it works!





And some pictures of what I've done to the slam panel, you can't really see it and I was in a rush so it's not the tidiest job, but it works and I'm sure I can notice a difference. You couldn't hear any noise before with the panel blocking the airbox but now at idle if you crouch down you can hear air whistling through the grille, and in the bottom picture you can see the silver front of the K&N through the grille so there's nothing blocking the airflow to it at all.





Still think I want to get a twin cone air filter for a bit more air flow, but having trouble finding one the right size, they all seem to be 150mm wide and I think it needs to be 120/130mm max to fit in the Raceland housing. I know you can get a Green filter that fits but I haven't been able to find anywhere that sells them on their own, any ideas?
