    Modified Airbox

    I don't get the drilling part too? If you direct feed the airbox to the front then that should be plenty of cold air for the job. On ebay an airbox can be between £25-£45 i guess? Got mine for £35 inc. P&P.

    Modified Airbox

    Silicone elbow just looks good, think more of the experianced lads will give you the technical info on the pro's and con's of them. I'm modding my airbox this weekend, picked one up on ebay and a new front lower grille to have a mess around and see what i can do. That way if all goes wrong then...

    Please Help: Design of New Induction Kit

    Have you managed to chat to any of the lecturers yet? There could be a chance that they would rather more functionality, style and marketing of the product rather than out right engineering performance… being that your doing product design and not engineering design. If this is just for a clio...

    Please Help: Design of New Induction Kit

    Ah, good old Rhino! I loved that NURBS stuff! Its cool for complex curves and surfaces but Solidworks is by far the easiest to use! (Getting my hands on SW 2007 soon.. but shhh…. Hehe) Plus its parametric which means you can change dimension and add equations so that the model can resize to...

    Please Help: Design of New Induction Kit

    Use Solidworks, its much easier and by far the best packages out there :o. I'm modeling my current airbox atm and then modifying it to take a direct 70mm Dia. cold air feed into it. Tis tights as a virgin tho! Not much room to pipe into it. It would be cool to have a small see thru section to...

    ooops, just read the bit about what uni your at. Product Design is a class subject :o I did the same! Was going to do a new type of RC engine with a slipper clutch and low 120 degree engine....but they didnt have the staff to help me at the time :(

    Please Help: Design of New Induction Kit

    What are you doing at Uni? If you know any CAD or Engineering boys then get some help for CFD (Computer Fluid Dynamics). I can help you with basic 3D modeling and rendering but I havent touched CFD before. You can simulate the amount of air and pressure going into the induction kit and that...

    Another Temp sensor question for a MK2 172.

    Mine has been doing that for over a month now. Only just been able to book my car into the Renault garage! Some days mine is ok, others it will randomly flicker unless i give it some good revs... The engineer seemed to find it unique that it is a temp wire or sensor problem... he even said he...

    Air box question again sorry

    I wasn't saying that. Just something I was told when passing convo with some of the engineers. If you don’t ask then you will never know. I always thought it was better until they started talking about warm air being easier to vaporise as its less dense. That’s the bit that made me think. I...

    Air box question again sorry

    Right then, Was chatting to some of the older or shall I say “more senior” engineers where I work about modifying my airbox to pipe cold air from the front. They all smirked like typical engineers and said that cold air into the engine is not the way to improve performance. Instead they said...

    Photoshop users......

    Have a peek at this: http://www.photosolve.com/main/resources/pw_film_conv/ You can get a plug-in for photoshop, to be honest you can get a plug-in for anyhting you want. You can get cheap negative scanners, I think Epson do a bespoke scanner which is compact, you simply feed in the film an it...

    Carbon fiber front splitter...

    Flakes off? Isn't carbon fibre meshing set in a hard resin? It shouldn't flake off! Not unless its some mock carbon fibre film laminated onto the surface... I always thought the K-Tec ones were 100% Carbon Fibre?

    itg panel or bmc panel

    It lasts 3 times longer than existing ones or something like that. Subject to maintaining it. I think you can use a vacuum on the top surface if needed. It has a wire mesh over the fine foam layer.

    Is £62 for cup front splitter cheap???

    Not only a new user to Clio Sport but no feedback off ebay... As tempting as it sounds i would stay away from this mate. If he can't even get a picture or provide basic information then its not worth it.... You know the good old saying, 'If its too good to be true...' Anyone loval to him to...
