lol your just a angry individual, does someone need a hug



and typically, my drivers side high beam is out, so no, its not a hot air intake.

Ooh wow, I bet you get mad poon with your pirate car!

Seriously though, E30s have a low pressure zone behind the headlight, right where the airbox goes. If you have the stock airbox with all the plumbing intact you'll pull air from the front of the radiator, yours however, is just getting the hot air from the engine bay, effectively negating any gain you'd get from a cone filter. Install a heat shield and put your headlight back in, it looks retarded without one.

i do have a heat shield. :)

[Fidhle007]

Where, in the trunk?

[xwill112x]

its clearly visable in 17-24 seconds in my 3rd video fiddleman.

but you gotta stick the gas pedal halfway to the floor and to lug all the way up it if ya wanna do a hill in 5th.

Why the hell are you climbing hills in 5th. You have a manual transmission. Learn how to use it.

sorry if it offends your highness that i dont want to go around down shifting everywhere. :-D

[Fidhle007]

Buy and automagic you fucking pansy.

[xwill112x]

there ya go fiddleman. im intrested to see your next insult

EDIT: and yes it does work, i've drivin it, got out and checked the filter and it was cold... :finger:

[kamotors]

ummm, I don't see how that can possibly block heat....

[xwill112x]

i have a highbeam deleted, and it channels the cold air directly to the filter. and its a bad angle on top of that, there's only about 2inches of the filter on the backside exposed to engine heat.

[kamotors]

I would put a pipe between AFM and filter and either move it closer to the grill, or enclose it with a full shield(about 5 inches taller). the radiator gets pretty warm, and you filter seems pretty exposed.

[xwill112x]

it there's really not that much space, and the extentions at autozone are like 25$ apiece, and for minimal gain if any, i didnt bother. When the hood is closed, its actually pretty snug, and stays cool in that area, even with the highbeam back in.
