Custom AEM intake (WIP) Options

[3sgteLuke]

My new homemade AEM intake.



I only use quality parts



A close up of the details



Im considering going further and making my very own AEM cold air intake so I went ahead and prepared for it by removing all the useless plastic in the fender



the plastic box in the top left corner seems to serve no purpose at all and its tricky to remove. Somehow a mouse managed to get inside and poop all over all over everything.

I was on a roll so i decided to tackle that pesky drivers side headlight.



in progress. I forgot to take pics of me pouring all the water out of the lamp. there must of been atleast a cup in there! Nothing a little boiling and reseal cant fix



I placed the bumper on the grass to keep it safe and the wind carried it towards my side walk its scratched up now.
chicago weather really does suck sometimes



cant do a good job without the right tools





forget matco, forget snap on, I love my craftsman

Im trying to decide between making my own heat shield or going forward and running the intake to the fender. The heatshield would be easier but not neccessarily the best for performance. Running more piping on the other hand is going to be a headache because the space between the fusebox and the chassis is really tight. well see, right now im going to try some flex tubing to get a general idea of the dimensions I need, then ill see what jc whitney can offer me.

hey maybe ill be able to beat a miata next time

I think a 2.5 or 2.75' pipe will go perfectly into that little square whole cause i tried one on mine before. Why do most of the 6gen celicas highbeam on the driver side always fog up and get water in it????...mines like that too...im gonna smoke it when i take it out though...anyone got pix of smoked stock headlight on a black celi?
