Version 2.0 of the air intake looks awesome. Thank you for sharing 👍🏽 oof on the camera mount 😅 makes for a cool outro though lol
Haha yeah , that cameras days are numbered
When it comes time to service the air filter all that you have to do is remove and replace the fender; brilliant. And you can only drive when it’s not raining - the cone filter will become soaked in no time.
Wow, love how far you put the airintake to the front.
Ha , not everyone does so thank you. It is a lot of effort for questionable benefit - i do very low mileage so filter will not need frequent replacement
thats a good idea so you dont get all that hot air from the engine bay, but that flexible tube is terrible for airflow. On mine i made an enclosure and the filter sits right against the firewall with a very short conection to the throttle body. That enclosure is then conected to custom stainless pipe that goes to the sidevent.
Its great to see exactly how to remove the side fender via your clip!!
Looks great, but it will get all wet... Thanks for sharing. I have a problem with the drenage from the cab being cloged up. Thanks to you, I now know where it is and how it looks!
Thank goodness for that, I thought you'd rolled the car!
I wondered why I never saw anyone do this before. Replacing the filter seems like a pain but if it was RACECAR you could just hack up the quarter panel a bit and put a custom cover over it after.
Thank you for a good detail how to do thing.
Thank you very much!
A big fan of yours from South Korea.
I hope U’re planning to do something with ur soft top soon so that I can learn from u.
Coz I too have some problems such as chapped edges.
I suggest black silicon but it depends on which edges you're talking about. Look up other convertible top repair videos for ideas.
My roof is in terrible condition, i
might replace it with a second hand one in better condition, if i do i will make a video
Thanks for the suggestion.
However, mine is brown colored because my car is v-edition.
I tried to apply silicone too but I couldn’t find it with matching color.
Maybe I should replace it.
@@user-ip6vh8dt9j It would probably work if you got some dry brown/tan pigment and mixed it with clear silicone
Thanks much.
I’ll try.
Dude soo much work for the same result..you all ready had the ram air effect due to the stock ducting..I would just build some kind of shielding at the back of the filter at the location you had it..although testing new things is part of evolution..so keep testing 👍
You are 💯 pc right - I just had an absolute need to get that air filter as a true side intake, as i have not seen another attempt and wanted to see if it was possible
I’ll be worried about getting it super wet and hydro locking the engine… IF there’s a ton of water coming through the side vent .. but that can be remedied with a deflector added behind/inside the vent to divert the air/water around the filter but still allow air to enter the area..! AND get rid of the accordion style pipe it’s bad for flow
I admire the effort but seems like a lot of work for what benefit? BTW, in own a 2001 Spyder and love it.
Get an injen hyper lock cloth... and keep having fun. No risk no reward.
Nitrile Thickster gloves are great
I recognize that road ! 🙃
Would be worried about water and also what a pain to go through to clean the filter!
Im about to do this mod and put the battery the other side.
well that sounded great up until the camera fell off
so... you gotta do that for every air filter change?
So you're not going to clean/change the air filter or do you plan to remove the quarter panel every time?
So i have yet to test the theory but I believe i may be able to replace the filter through the side intake when the black plastic intake cover is removed
@@andrewsparey697 I see. Looks too tight on the video, but that's not uncommon for video. Good luck.
@@andrewsparey697 you remove filter from outsaid?
I’ve heard it said quite a few times that these cone filters do absolutely nothing for power compared to the stock box..
_Just wondering your thoughts_
Every car is different… on some cars it doesn’t make a difference over a high flow panel filter like a K&N…. BUT on some cars there’s been dyno proof of a 10-20hp increase….
Just check the car you’re modding and worse case it’s a great sounding effect!
Hi Andrew I would like to install like you but i am wondering is there any risk if in rainning day?
Ive not had a problem
Aka: How to make servicing the air filter on your spyder take 2 hours.
That’s future Andy’s problem
@@andrewsparey697 If you search thingiverse for mr2 spyder there's a file for a maf sensor holder/pipe.
Can you take a look at that and tell me if it's interchangable with your hacked down airbox version?
@@PhonePhone-sf8te i looked once and had no confidence that they would fit , hence It became a choice between a £250 K&N maf pipe or make my own - i do show how to do that in my other air filter video, it is not so hard to make yourself
I assume you're talking about fitting with your specific setup or do you mean fit in general? I assumed that it might throw off the air ratio. Does your setup has the same diameter of the old system to keep the ratio similar or are you tuning it to make up the difference?
@@PhonePhone-sf8te the fit in general. If you use the factory Maf pipe you can be assured the sensor will fit. I was not convinced my sensor would fit aftermarket versions
Is that position of filter problematic for rain and splashing waters going in?
It does look like it but no , never had a water ingress problem
Good job , any noticeable power increase ? smoother throttle maybe? cheers
Its definitely louder but TBH not a power difference i would notice without a dyno to prove it
Thanks for the videos. I like your wheels, can you tell me what they are? Cheers
They are 17” x 205 wide , the brand is either +100 or 100+ , I bought them second hand off a Vauxhall astra and the centre caps were faded, so I bought “punisher” stickers off ebay. I actually do a whole video on them if you search my channel
@@andrewsparey697 thanks for the reply. I have to say your videos are superb. Very clearly filmed and described. Thanks for all your effort, it's much appreciated.
@@pjay3028 you are most welcome. Hopefully they shed some light on nasty surprises so people can do a better job for themselves
And how you clean that ?
That’s future Andrews problem
Great job! Do you have problems when its rainy weather..?
So it is not a daily driver, I usually only drive on sunny days. I did however get caught in a severe rain situation with surface flooding , and was very worried. Thankfully there was no issue. That said , for the sake of ones blood pressure I would not do this to a daily commuter in a wet climate
pobre cámara pero muy buen explicación a darle a mi mr2
important question, does it improve performance?
Marginally, but not dramatically
You sound like you're from somewhere in the south island of NZ?
I am from the North Island but lived in Scotland so ended up with the same speech outcome
You not afraid the water draining for the top won't get sucked into the engine?
It has been a concern but has not happened
@@andrewsparey697 Thank you for responding. I'm looking to purchase a 2003 MR2 soon.
I wanted to remove that leftover OEM part of the intake as well… so annoying how they put it behind the panel like that lol.
Is there a link to the flex tube you used?

what happens when you want to clean or change it?
Hopefully it is small enough to remove and refit from the vent when the vent shroud is removed. If that fails i will relocate it back to inside the fire wall
@@andrewsparey697did you change location or clean filter?
what is not satisfied with the cold intake of the production of AEM?
I generally work with the theory that if it is OEM , it sucks
@@andrewsparey697 Just in cool companies, a department of engineers sits and develops how to make the intake better...
I have never heard of AEM before, they look very impressive, thank you for the web link !
@@andrewsparey697 i'm install this cai aem in my zzw30, better sound ))
@@andrewsparey697 That is a pretty stupid statement to make. If you did your homework before going ahead with this, & this video, you would know nobody's made anything that works better, even though, like you I don't like it. That filter location.....looks like your blocking the cold air intake for the engine bay.
Sounded like you barrow rolled it lol
what wheel its got on?
I have a video on the wheels, the are 17s from a Vauxhall Astra. The brand is +100
Rain?
Good question- i drove it in mild rain and experienced no problems. I don’t think the side intake ingests a lot of water
@@andrewsparey697 That's good. Harley-Davidson sells a bike with a massive air filter on it(I forget the model but I watched a review) and it comes with a "rain sock" to put over the filter if you're going to ride in the rain.
I agree this is not the best idea as heavy rain your air filter will cop a lot of water. The idea in unmodified cars is the air has to go up to reach a dry filter. Also servicing will be a pain
Hydrolock pending
Haha perhaps! No problems at present
anyone else cringe when the quarter panel paint side was griding on the ground?
😂 she is pretty rotten so the paint work isn’t too high on the priority list
Todo lo que no sea original,problemas
