So I finally found time to start putting my snorkel together. I had the pipe sitting on my garage floor for 4 months and thought it was about time I did something with it!

Here's a few pics of what I've done so far... Still need to put a bend at the top and mount it to the A-Pillar.

looks good so far how are you attaching it to the pillar?

[Scrawny]

I'm going to stitch a bracket onto the pipe then bolt it into rivnuts. I need to find a rubber elbow bend 2"-3" to join it to the airbox too. Where am I going to find one of those?

Scrawn maybe try ebay mate or a performace shop. Every man and his dog with a fully sick civic swap their intercooler pipes over for those blue elbows. I think I've even seen them at the big Supercheaps.

[royce]

theres an airfilter place in Brendale might have em or a truck spares place

[Bruce]

Yes Royce it's called Brisbane Air Cleaners. They are the same road as the brickworks. Lefthand side going towards the brickworks before the second set of lights.

[Pubic]

if not you could try a plumbing shop....

EXAUST SHOP

Thanks guys, think i'll try Brendale first as it is pretty close to home.

By the way Bruce, I got the guy over the road from you to do that welding for me. Nice guy, did it straight away while I waited!!

and yes, that is the right website just click products and you will see them.

edit: thats if you want the silicone job, PVC or rubber will be miles cheaper

That's prolly where the beer fridge is

[Scrawny]

There was noone there and everything was shut up. I think it was the weekend of TT08?

[Scrawny]

An early birthday present arrived in the mail today...



This is to join the snorkel to the airbox. I'll have a play after dinner and see if I can dummy fit it up.
I got it from the funny on-line store that Taff suggested. Almost got distracted with the crafty stuff but managed to find what I was after

[Scrawny]

Well, finally got a chance to finish off my snorkel today. The paint left a little to be desired but the rest looked ok for a throw together job.



This is the mounting bracket on the 'A' pillar

[Damo]

Tidy!

[Mike]

[Zook_Fan]

you will have to drown the car to see if it works now looks good

[tonka_zook]

nice job there

[BlueSuzy]

HEY!, I have a civic and i dont have one of those blue elbows...should i get one???

[Scrawny]

Blue silicone hoses are a must for all ricers aren't they?

[foolsp33d]

very clean job, although id like to see a more sturdy bracket and another holding it inside the bonnet, i imagine a drivers side flop would push it straight into the guard n bonnet..

I reckon the head looks like its sitting to high to.. but thats just MHO.

shipping $ to melb? pipe work only=? lol..

[neil_se]

Great job. I'd like to make one but i've got a virtual lift so i need to see if i can fit the pipe along the bay to the battery and have it exit out the guard or side of the bonnet.

[Scrawny]

I thought about a bracket inside to hold it but then it wouldn't come out easily. The current bracket is pretty sturdy considering the weight it holds but yeah, it would get pretty messy if it flopped over. I do have scrub bars to go back on that will help protect it all somewhat.
The angle of the photo makes the head look like it sticks up further than it actually does, doesn't look too bad in the flesh. Didn't want it sitting too high but had to keep it out the way of the drivers sight too, bit of a compromise.
Running it straight out where I did through the guard was the easiest and cleanest for me. I didn't like the way some came out behind the battery, too messy with all the bends. I guess if you have a virtual lift there aren't too many other options though.
