Diolch n Fawr....

 

Nice! You'll have plenty of company in the modding department. Lots of info in the S-Type forum on that stuff. And please if you do something new, document/write up and take pics if at all possible!

As for the airbox - a custom elbow is really a must-do in my opinion. Other than that, the factory airbox is pretty good. Don't do the open element in the engine bay intake, too much heat from the blower.

Glad to have ya on board!

 

I like a challenge...!.. i know people say don't do the open intake but i have a very helpful Jag tech who has an STR and he is very keen to have a play to build something one off, i have even sourced a S type bonnet to experiment with a recessed air duct...... we may not do it, but wont be for the want of trying, we will build a custom air pipe ie mafioso style, shrouding and heatshield with custom cold feed from exisitng air duct and through bonnet/hood. Will deffo get pics when i get it off the ground.

 

Sweet! the STR guys will love hearing about this type of stuff!! Glad to have ya on board and looking forward to your builds!
