hakhawks cosmos e36 coupe

[hakhawk]

airbox fits after much chopping and slimming, its a tight fit at the back, but should be fine, as its only hoses its sitting against. need to mark where outer 2 trumpets go again, and remove as much material from the top back section as i can to allow for rock as the engine revs

first time ive removed the plenum since putting the motor in, still looks fairly clean. really need to do my powersteering hoses oneday though



will need to make a new throttle cable bracket, which i might get one laser cut to replicate oem, just with differences to clear the box



had to remove a decent amount around the strut tower, which i was expecting



clearance to the strut brace is fair close, ill probably file the top down to a bit of an angle on the inlet side



and maaaybe some along the top of the box itself, gotta make sure filter will still fit(might mean adding some more at the bottom of the box)



dipstick seems to sit nicely in the corner here, just need to extend the bracket(5min job)



charcoal canister still fits where it is(possibly needs an angle change), and power steering res is still accesible with inlet removed





edit: just brainfarted, hopefully can move holes for trumpets up 5-10mm to give more clearance, will just bring box closer to motor a touch.

today was quiet at work, so i was able to smash out the joins, should have test fit pics tomorrow or sunday. the mounting tabs are a bit rough, but ill neaten them up once its in carbon







and a cool random iphone pic with all the smoke getting around here tonight

[hakhawk]

almost ready for test fitting, depending how i go at work tomorrow i might test it on the weekend

need to sus out making sure the 2 bits join properly and have enough space to drop the filter in

[hakhawk]

beginning to look like an airbox now

[hakhawk]

progress. might have to order carbon fiber cloth quicker than i thought

[hakhawk]

and so begins the next mod, carbon airbox

started making up the base of it today, will add foam to it, and carve out the shape i want, then attempt the lost foam method for building it with carbon cloth

took the car to the carwash to give it a rough clean, then took a quick spin upto blue rock dam to dry it off and take a couple happy snaps. i then proceeded to smash the living crap out of the splitter on the way back. short deep dips in the road in 100k zones, sofaking stupid
