Rasised air intake?
Doobreydog:
George the additional airbox etc should make it possible to fit on either side....but they do float (in theory) :twisted:
G30RGE:
mmmm never thought of that
Could be a good project for winter :D
carbore:
If its a petrol....
There are a fair few indction kits for the k series that use a fairly water tight looking enclosed filter. (after all it needs to be air tight)

(this is one of the most expensive, sorry illustration purposes only)
You could then have this linked to a "unviersal" snorkel that goes into a suitable bodywork hole and then connects to the induction cone. You caold make this so it can be easily swapped form snorkel route to standard route.
Its unlikley to be cheap, but if you cent find anything out-the-box, im sure it would work. (also it will make the car sounbd better and may give a bit more pep to the engine?

Took it to a guy to make some more in GRP today so should hear back soon. Is anyone really interested?
I'd love to sell a couple os the moulds and work don't cost me too much. Planning on using the std 1.8 airbox so very few mods. Depending on what it costs shouldn't be more than £150 each once made up.

I've got the first GRP snorkle for the passengers side copied from the carbon fibre one.
I'm having another made in GRP and one in carbon to take to Donnington on teh 17th if anyone's interested.
If anyone "IS" interested, and you have a 3dr, let me know and I'll shorten one so it fits, as the 5dr snorkle is a little longer along the roof line, and fouls the sunroof on my 3dr. It secures into the roof moulding on the roof so no drilling through. Mine will be fitted with a carbon fibre one so you can have a look at one fitted
