Air Intakes

[Smead]

I apologise if this has allready been covered, but the SEAT intakes that are popular are becomming harder to source, so Im wandering what other options there are for cold air intakes or something similar to the SEAT intake? Is there a good shop in southwest sydney or canberra to talk to?
On another note is there a decent paint shop in south west sydney to do the V on the bonnet? I want to get mine redone

I don't know if the Seat intakes are still available through dubbadiction, otherwise GTI Dave used to arrange group buys.

Alternative is pod filter setup, technically illegal in NSW i think.

[bfeboi]

Its only illegal if you get caught

[Gti Dave]

Hey guys I still do the group buys for the SEAT intakes so those interested can PM me and I'll get back to you the moment I come back from holidays in 2.5 weeks time.

Cheers.

Pod filters are only illegal if they are not securely mounted.

The K&N Apollo is the Pod of choice, as it's fully shielded and includes an intake pipe that allows you to shield it from the heat of the engine bay.

Hi guys, I'm in the process of finalising the LAST group buy for these SEAT intake kits so if anyone else wants one, please PM me ASAP!!! Thanks for all those who have ordered and support my efforts in the past and hope you're all still enjoying them.

Cheers.

Dave

How much? PM if you need to.. thank you Dave.

[barra240t]

I've sent a PM! I hope I'm not too late!

[Gti Dave]

Okay guys I've already sent a PM regarding the final deadline to all those who have expressed interest. Just need to get this moving along and to be fair to all as its been dragging along for a bit too long now. Thanks in advance for making this last one possible guys. Just hope I've made a good contribution to a few smiles on the faces of fellow enthusiasts and thanking you all again.

Just getting tired from too much nagging from the boss.

Cheers.

Dave

[Gti Dave]

If you are in the manufacturing mood, I think the inlet for the Seat one is too far back from the grille and not big enough for a ram style intake.

Unfortunately, to make space for a ram style system, some alterations to the bumper area need to be made which requires removal of the front bumper.

Pain...

removal of bumper

please not again , i had to change the radiator which took 3 minutes , getting the front on and off 3 hours....

I don't think something like the MkV/VI item pictured below would require bumper removal... I am trying to get the solidworks model done atm, but believe there is enough space in the polo engine bay to fit something similar.





Then all we need to do is talk to some in CF manfufacturing who may be able to assist in lay-up after I have had time to make a mould.

Failing that, we could just do it out of fibreglass

i don't think that would be any better... still too much customisation required.

maybe a cone filter where the current intake starts is the easiest way.
