roundthirteen Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 So here's the back story behind this amazing repair. I was changing my power steering pump, and the person helping me sat a drop light on the back half of my airbox. A little unnoticed smoke later and there was a half dollar sized hole in it. Not having a spare airbox I had to do the best with what I had at 10pm. So a lot of RTV and a hacked up "I can't believe it's not butter" lid later I had the below creation. It's working for now until I can get a used black half. My car's not a sleeper it's a hibernator. http://pure-tuning.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samcuomo Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 At least it didn't melt the MAF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmP6889928 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 If it's sealed, it works. That's all that matters. Find another box and you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBlackPearl Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I might still have an extra one of those actually. I'll look for it if you want? I bought a spare airbox and made an open element with the 'front' piece. Hated it. Self proclaimed PNW Craiglist find of the day Champion, April 2014.

GTTuner Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 It's before the MAF so technically it would run OK even with a hole there. You just designed the new GHETTO CAI!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danteneon Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I like how the logo is nicely displayed. Just in case you were thinking to yourself "I can't believe it's not stock!"

roundthirteen Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 I like how the logo is nicely displayed. Just in case you were thinking to yourself "I can't believe it's not stock!" I try. Maybe buy plugging them here I can get some free "not butter." I'm sure if I wasn't in such a rush (it was about 7 degrees out) I could have made it a little nicer.
