Jozinobi Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I think it looks different and unique.Some people have been thinking its bodged but I think once you get the laquer on it and sort out the bootlid etc, it will look much better. Also think carefully about what you do with the bump strips as that could make a big difference.Good work wee man of many home mods, nice to see some daring work.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 Lol thanks Jozzy, i agree it should look better with the lacquer - might get the lacquer with a mteal flake ;) - and yes, it was a very daring thing to do!!Got a big plan for a new custom induction kit! Staying a secret for now though, and if i learn how to weld, i'll be making this induction kit with my own hands!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 Lol haha @ Sparky!!!!!Hmm never know though, but i doubt it as this is my last term of school and i need to keep my head down. But hey we have a long break between the end of school and beginning of college, and i plan to do plenty of mods in that time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 Filter Relocation! Well after trying to get hold of filter reloaction pipe for the SR, with no luck, i made one myself!!Found a pipe in the garage, from a Civic, but both sides were too big for the Apexi's custom pipe and the throttle body, so popped down to A1 Autos for some reducers.Played with the battery, as it was in the way. Wanted to stick it to the boot but had no time for it today!So I moved the battery off its holder, and to the side. Obviosuly wasn't secure so I got some cable ties together and got it tied down to a few holes on the body, and its now VERY secure.So once that was out of the way, i squeezed in the pipe, after joining it on to the Apexi pipe. Then i find out that the hole for the air sensor was in the wrong place. So got them holes covered up and make a new one. Drilled a hole and popped a rubber bung in, air sensor fits perfectly:And theres the filter, will make a custom air feed for it too, looks much better now too! Just need to do something about that gay battery now!Anybody else got their filter relocated in their n/a? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miracle411 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Nice job that mate, even thought about the intlet temp sensor too. Sweet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 yet another bit of DIY'in from the master!!!Good job buddy now get that battery in the boot!!!! ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 Thanks for comments! Yeah Sparky that battery really needs to go!Now the silly bitch keeps revving too much, accelarator cable is fine though. I think the spring in the throttle body is damaged as it looks really loose = New throttle body! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Nice one dude!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 Cheers mate, I was planning on making a CUSTOM induction kit, meaning hand built by me, but maybe later, this is fine for now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ross Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 looks good buddy, gonna be doin something like that with mine, obviously not fromt he throttle body though, gonna mount the filter in the corner of the bumper with a vent going to it ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 Yeah that sounds good Ross, will be making an air feed for this, and also block it off from the rest of the engine bay with a metal shield. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ross Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 cool, you can get the heatshields from (sorry bout sayin this) Motor World :| lol not that much though! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 I'll just cut out one out myself from some aluminium, wont be a round one going around the filter, just a flat one that sits at the end of the radiator. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 looks good mate. like the routing.used to have mine relocated like this...and then like this with the apexiand im sorry mate, but i just wouldnt trust a battery with those cable ties. those thinner ones arent as strong as you'd think! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 Thanks Scutch, The thin cables were the only things left in garage, will get some big fat ones for the battery!I like the way you set up the Apexi, would get nothing but cold air, but the foam filter you had would just get hot air from the radiator, thats why i'm going to block ours off from the rad.
