UPDATE:

intercooler is in , piping is in , front it on

It is 100% better than it was , now there is no more air leaks so it needs a tune badly.
I will go see if i can get it tuned next saturday fingers crossed! and i need a black rubber pipe for the throttle body too.

I forgot about this thread!

here is a update:

I have made a air box and installed my new steering wheel.
also brought a Radiator Cooling Panel which seems to work but i really need the bottom part to direct
the air from the front bar to the intercooler.

anyway pictures:

Ducting is really important. Make sure you panel in all the sides to make sure all the air goes throught the heat exchangers. You will need it once you hit the track. Use racetape on any holes left after panelling if you have to.

Looks like you could've used a cowl intake pretty easily and saved making that much of an airbox.

to tell you the truth i didnt even think of it untill you said it!

I wanted to keep the heat out from the intake so i made it a full lengh
as i didnt want the heat from the radiator.
so when i go racing ,
I just unscrew the front indicator and a nice flow of cold air goes in !
