Air Box

I built an air box for my RX-7. An aftermarket intake is pointless without one - at least on a rotary. Hot air = power loss, probably just a few horsepower in this case but hey, it's cheap, functional, and looks good. I got the design from a guy on the RX-7 Club forum. (I had to modify it since his car is a turbo and mine is not.)

I had a Mazda emblem sitting in my room, so I decided to use it for this.


I used some sort of foam insulation tape to help seal the box.


I had removed the windshield washer reservoir, leaving a hole just below the intake. I used some heater hose to make an air scoop from the bumper up through the hole. It looks like it should help quite a bit, but I have no way of testing it.
