Default Tinkered with my Puma today updated 12/02/14

Had a play about with the Pooma today.I was gonna have a go fitting a cone filter but I didnt have any spare pipe to fit over the air flow meter. So I modded my standard air intake so its getting a cold feed from the front of the front bumper.

I turned the pipe around so that it is facing the front. The gaffer tape is to make sure its got a good seal.

Then I cut the rubber splitter where the holes are in the front bumper.

The ice stuff was just shit I had lying about in my attic so I just thought I would try it. Some of the pumas had the option of having subs fitted to these speaker pods and an amp fitted too.

Be careful with cheap silicone hoses, very much inferior quality and most come in alarmingly smaller than they should be.
