is your safari gunna be legal doddzee? is it legal to just go boring holes through the firewall like i didnt want to go and cert that. so i did it that way....holy crap with your engine and that pipe its gonna be one noisey truck inside lol i didnt bother with a airfilter on top A: because there not going to be any dirt down it where it is and B: theres a filter in the engine bay and C: i couldn't find one for that smaller pipe.......no jerry the smell would probably be me :oops:

Yip its going to be noisy but im going to have half doors over the summer so im sure there will be louder things than the intake, e.g. the howling of 37's

I checked sith my certifier and he said chop away so i did, i have removed all the fan and heater stuff so there is heaps of room for a airfilter set up back there.

lol ok....il just take it to a dodgy place for a wof lol....know of any?

doddzee · Post by **doddzee** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 9:02 am

Na not really.

The guy i get my warrants off is fairly leniant to us for thing like mud tyres hanging 2" out of the guard as he knows we will just go home and change them to road tyres and back again, but safety and cert issues need to de done right.

If its a hole away from a major structural point then it probly wont be a problem.

do you want me to actually post the photos on outerlimits?? Pretty sure all you have to do is right click on the photo in your album, click properties. There will be a URL address I think. Highlight that and right click save. When you are in outerlimits, post message then hit the [IMG] button, paste the address, then close it by hitting the [IMG*] button again. hit the preview message and the photo should be there. Hope that isnt confusing??
Same way i post pictures on here.

Bubba · Post by **Bubba** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 2:33 pm

Ummm he didn't mention selling the Safari (truckie as he calls it). Mite use the the Vitara as a self propelled winch or something. Bolt it to the bonnet hehehe

jeremyisme · Post by **jeremyisme** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 7:22 pm

Why are there concerns about smell and dust? I figure that an air intake only sucks air. What am I missing?

lilpigzuk · Post by **lilpigzuk** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 7:50 pm

When the vehicle sits for a while, you can get intake fumes come back through the filter etc. Not huge amounts but possibly enough that you notice it when you get into your vehicle. Can make for exciting times if your engine backfires as well - not much of a concern for efi engines... And dont leave anythig loose in your glovebox area, like rags..... :oops:

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 7:51 pm

Not sure what the V6 ones are like offroad....

stinky · Post by **stinky** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 8:00 pm

Dark side huh needed a work hack but short of space so I got the Vitara as it fits under Truckie

Sadam_Husain · Post by **Sadam_Husain** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 8:39 pm

Nice work with the intake MrOffroader

glad to see you didnt stick it into the glovebox like somebody I know that did it 20 years ago.....before he noticed things were going missing from the glovebox :lol:

yea lol.....is it legal tho i dont wana have to pay a big fat check for a cert and a repair done by a certified welder and all the rest of this revenue collecting shit bucause i drilled through a peice of sheetmetal and stuck a hose through it :oops:

or should i just disconnect it at the air box when i go for a warrent and go to a hory wof place? this is my idea....seems to be the best so far :roll:

cheers guys
