snorkle

[sjjenkin]

just wondering wether i should go ahed and cut a hole for this snorkle. it will be replaced with a stainless steel pipe later on when i have the funds. should i duplecate it on the othersid or would it just look silly?

[smileysmoke]

are you going to paint the snorkel black or just leave it with the pvc writing? i think the writing will make it look dodgier than having two snorkels.. if your donk needs the intake then go for it.. but if one is enough i think would end up being easier to just have the one eh? go for functionality not looks.

Judging by the rice additions you really want 2 of them don't you

Just get the stainless one made up first off..... and don't put 2.

As well as looking silly, it's harder to seal up the intake with the second one.

For me, there is too much gap between the bottom of the pillar and the tube, less generic bends would make it fit nicely.

finaly did it and for a cost less than $40 well worth it except for the carnage on my finger came incontact with a 5inch grinder still mending

nice one mate looks neat.
take any pics whilst making it? not of your finger just the pieces cut etc

[sjjenkin]

na was going to but couldent finish it that day had to go to hospital.

ps. neva use a angle grinder to make a hole bigger buy die grinder kit saves alot of pain

still cheaper then buying form an arb store $465- $625 fitted

nice black bonnet. Not Carbon Fibre, is it?

If it is, V cool. If not, then ...

I often wonder about the GTRs and integras and civics and such with the black painted bonnets, and whether or not they know why the fad started...

I have been tempted to paint the bonnet on my Mav black (Rest of 4b is white) to try and cut down on the glare when driving into sun.

na the bonnet is about to get a facelift next month theres going to be a panther arbrushed on it and will look better black.

Nice job mate, came up nice. The black paint makes it look neat... maybe do the wipers and grille next

[sjjenkin]

its hard to get a masiv lift on my car so i do other stuff to make it stand out

[smileysmoke]

oh and what diameter pipe did you use for your snorkel?

If you take a closer look at old ambulances, some trucks etc they all have their bonnets painted matt black to avoid glare as per MKPatrolGuy.

wouldn't having the top of the snorkel facing the rear of the car restrict airflow heaps, if not giving it almost none at all as the air is just wooshing over the top of it?? thats what id be thinking, wouldnt it be better to have a 45 degree bend in just over the glass so all air rammed into the glass hits the tube directly, or put in a forward bend? or fit a snorkel head?

just asking questions.....

Then why slap an ARB sticker on the side of the snorkle

only problem with this is you also suck up all the dust and stuff aswell. there is air flow wising past but the snorkle sucks it up and actualy gets most of it i think reall nice sucking sound when the throttel is open

Then why slap an ARB sticker on the side of the snorkle

had it from the 4x4 expo and brakes up the black abit. looks good
