Just for a bit of eyecandy...

(Ok, and a bit of showoff too. )

Hrmmm

my only prob with it is the size of the pod overly distorts the image...looks like its very short :P
hahah

but yeh
why the heck not.

post away.

but everyone bare in mind its what it looks like in jared's twisted reality, where everything has insane radiocity and crazy idiotic blooming...

[TERRA Operative]

Ok, here goes. The render still needs a little work, but Greg's been working me off my feet with the other designd we have in the works...


I have coloured it black, because I like black. It was modelled in Rhino 3D and rendered in 3D Studio Max 8 for those who are interested.

this is a pure mockup of the BJ CAI (injen copy)...

the BA is mucho different...Most of our designs wont make it to this level of flashiness because the manufacturers dont need it...just demonstates the level of computer design we've been going to lately

I rikey.

Good stuff =)

the BJ will be slightly delayed, because of pending day-of-corolla-thumping... but it'll happen shortly after...i expect the BJ will be out within a couple of weeks of the BA one being released =)

Will the TyPhyter work on a V6 as well as the 4cyl ?

Unlikely ..... a V6 one is on the cards though.

Nice! Just as long as it doesn't switch from suck to blow I'll be happy

ZoomZoom you will learn quite quickly that we are mostly on our own within the modding world
Yet you'll be amazed how much assistance the 4cyl club require from us at times

Pod wont fit inthe engine bay =)

If you are keen, follow the stock intake pipe down....way down.... to where it disappears into the front bar.... your resonator currently sits there...thats where the pod goes on our intake.

Yeh those sportivo's are a pain in the but... hehe ... 16.7 is good... weight reduction done? if not... as an example... i dropped from 16.6 to 16.1 purely on the basis of weight reduction.

You on the list

what's this number 2 shenanigans? i said number 1 dammit!

anyways... i have tried multiple times to follow that intake tube and have failed repeatedly!

just off the track for a second... my luck will amaze you... today i put my sunnies down on my throttle body while peering under the hood with a mate and then i put the hood down and drove off... about 7ks down the road i turn a corner and the sun blinds me and im scrambling around the car for my sunnies... then i remember... pop the hood, jump out, and there they are... right where i left them they were all warm too

and that was my story

anyways... will the pod sit just behind the far right (as looking from front) gap in the bumper? i've seen this done on my mates mirage (FTO V6 in that one btw).

P.S... i took out my sub, amp, parcel shelf with 6x9s and my spare to run the 1/4.

My brother made this himself from Carbon fibre, works great.

as you sit in the car, the pod will sit in the left hand corner, in behind the front bar. The stocko resonator currently sits there.. If you tore off the lower part of the stock intake, you'd be able to see where it goes in. Don't worry. You'll see it when you tear the front bar off (required to get our intake in) =)

Pipes are hear WAITING to be assembled... but my mate with the 1.8 is slack. Anyone in brissy wanna help finish off the prototyping stage?

[jhoeven]

I think this is the position you're aiming at

This link DOES work in other forums but I can't get it working here, just copy past it into your IE

Greetz

Exactly.

nice lookin CF intake there =)

ours will aluminiumiumiumium....hmmm pretty =)

[FLiP]

how's the interest factor coming along?

what kind of timeframe are we talking before they are ready?

im in no hurry... but have i got time to go and spend money on other things before you hit me with the bill?

thanks mate

I like the carbon one - looks better in a blackened engine bay than a in-your-face brightly polished one and wouldn't attract as much heat compared to a metal one also. Nice work on it man.
