Here's an idea for you all - I wanted to try and keep the engine heat away from the intake.
So I came up with this idea...
Alloy side panels cut to the shape of the bonnet and rubber seals, it utilises the inner lining of the bonnet to completely enclose the intake!!
I'm sure you could do something like this in the 6cyl version of the supra :D

Acquired :whistling: Is that what its called nowadays.

Great there is an Orion chugging around the coast of Australia with a chunk of Aly missing from the wing. Gonna be one pissed of Flight Engineer mate :lol:

Neat job there Damo. Im going the full enclosed airbox but if I change my mind your method has plenty of merits.

1. Its easier
2. It works

Cheers
