I still do no understand why so many tuners, or perhaps customers, of the 80s/90s went for that unbalanced look of a large front air dam and no skirts or rear enhancements.

Cool car, but I'm not understanding what's going on with the airbox or lack there of in this one. I've never seen an intake boot angle downward like that unless in a turbo application for IC pipe routing. Is it just sporting an open intake boot? I half expected a pod filter hanging down in the under belly pics, but I'm not seeing anything.

Holy crap that is terrible. How the hell did that get approved for BaT?

I love to rag on cars with the AC and/or stereo removed, and M50 swaps, but calling it "terrible" is a stretch. If anything it's a little closer to the original spirit of bringatrailer than the haven for flippers, snobs and collectors it is today.

I remember when BaT was like that - full of rusty barn finds & cars that had been sitting out in paddocks... ie. you'd go there for your interesting next project car. I have to admit I liked it better then!

To answer your question, the intake on the car is a miller pro street induction kit. It has been converted from a air flow meter style intake to one with a MAF. its routed down and gets its air from right behind the bumper on the drivers side (pretty much behind the turn signal area) I know cause that used to be my car! lol
