Another job that needed sorting was the airbox. The previous owner had affixed a six inch piece of ducting to the lower portion of the airbox and routed the other end to the side of the foglight behind the grill!
This is the offending item:
And an unbutchered airbox!
So why have I removed this performance mod, well where I live we get a lot of rain! So this is not really ideal. I guess if you were in a warmer climate or you only used your vehicle during the summer months I guess it would be fine, maybe ?
I believe there are a few vendors who sell such a kit. I honestly can't say that the car drives any worse for removing it.
There are a couple of jobs left to do, hopefully have those done in the next week or so, then I can make a start on my 2003 R!
