Need Trunk pics

andycook · andycook's Garage

I am looking for pics of people's trunk areas. I am stripping mine out of carpet, undercoating, etc and would like to see some finished pictrues for ideas/inspiration. Thanks.

Nothing much, but I have replaced the front turbo strut to rid of the broom handle.

I added the tower brace and the CD changer when I re-did the stereo system. Other than that it's factory.

Here's mine. I just run defrost, only thing notable is the heater / cowl mixing box delete.

DW - did you happen to weigh that mixing box?

DW SD · 10-17-2005, 05:01 PM

Randy I did not. Don't have a good scale here - not even a bathroom one. Hey - I'm on a budget ;-)

I could bring it somewhere to weigh it. With the blower motor, I'd guess 3 to 5 lbs.

Awesome pics guys! Thanks.

Fishcop - How did you clean all the factory coating from in the trunk area? Mine has an undercating like substance all over it.

DW,
That's a great hood support. Where did you get it?

John,
Why don't I see your smuggler's box and lid?

Doug - if you feel energetic, drop by the post office or UPS or FedEx and weigh in a plastic bag - tell 'em you need to know the item st. itself w/o box so you can choose the right box. Post here and I'll add it to the database...

Hey Sherwood

That photo was taken pre-bonnet strut arrival. Really happy with the strut too!

Right hand drive cars don't have a smuggler's box like LHD cars... can't hide the odyssey

The lid for the smuggler's box is another little item it would be nice to have an accurate wt. on...

What do you do for water intrusion on the front vent cowl with no mixing box?

Summer, the cowl vent is left open. Winter, I have a block off plate which is fabricated.

Umm yeah - could you elaborate on that a bit - the fabrication part.

I posted something earlier about ideas on how to keep water out - not that I will see much rain but in terms of washing the car or the occasional shower. Just wanted some details of what you used and is it water proof - do you still use a drain etc.

I figured that someone had made a block off plate for race cars but have not found anything.

Thanks -

Use the air box as your template and then curve the metal to match the mesh screen. You can use a pipe for part of the curve. Then take some thick weather stripping as a seal. I don't use the drain.

Another option is to cut off the front of the airbox, replace the seal and fiberglass over the back of it. Install a drain in the bottom of the box. Those are two options. I'm only testing right now. My block-off plate has been tested on with light water from washing the car.

Does Smart Racing make a block off plate?
