airboxes

[Ian]

Been looking at BMC CDA's. Am i balls paying that much for an airbox. On one of my cars, i used a plant pot with a hole cut in for a heatshield. However i want to try and use something else. Make up some end caps to have it enclosed and use a cold air feed. Anyone got any idea's what i could use? I was thinking a pop bottle with the ends chopped off. Could even wrap it in tape or something to try and ward off the heat. It would be very "ghetto modding" but there's no way the BMC could be £200 better then it. Thoughts?

I have a BMC CDA and it's really good!
You can find easily a used one on ebay for about 70 £ the model you need is the 70/130.
I hope I've help you!

i dont really want to pay that much for an airbox, ill try and make one as long as the costs are very cheap

A bit of guttering or something similar (wider) should do a better job than a plastic bottle?

guttering is too small though. Id have to use a tiny filter. I'm going to try a plumbing place
