So this past weekend me and bensale had a DIY cold air intake day, started off with 5 trips to bunings, autobarnZ and super cheap, I'm pretty happy with what we came up with since no measuring was involved, here's some pictures from the weekend,

All up was around $60 including filter and adapter, would have been cheaper but there was a couple of things I didn't use

Looks from the photos like it will disagree with your strut brace.

Yeah intake won the fight I don't mind since the strut brace was a shitty eBay special and did nothing haha, gear stick only lasts 30 mins and I swap it back to standard

I just got a new gearknob,, replaced my razo drift knob (heavy one, like a voodoo) with a pretty lightweight teflon one, my god its great, have to push the stick rather than throw it, and its bolt action precise now. I love the feel.

Yeah I need a new one, I use the stock na6 one and I find after a while the edge on the top digs into my hand but since I can't afford anything I don't want to spend $50 + on a gear knob

Apu has some well priced comfy gear knobs that are not stupid heavy or 10'' long and black :shock:

Should be photos of at least one design in his build thread, I got a white one off him to suit my b/w theme.
