Cold Air Intake for the motor
 
so i made one today out of aluminum... looks kinda weird but I guess theoretically it would work. guiding the air to the motor, and since its aluminum, it would cool down the air. I got the idea from the old MR2s:D

well i just used regular household aluminum foil and fold it a couple layers to make it thicker. then i folded it into a box shape and used double sided tape to stick it on the rear windshield. the opening for the intake is right on top of the car. kinda like those rally cars

yeah this is just the first prototype. to see how it looks and fits.
i'll make different variations later. I don't think i'll use plastic tho. kinda hard to find the right plastic. i'm using plastic for a body kit for my other project

well it looks good but......... its not going to cool the motor and make it run faster keep in mind this cars go about 3.5 miles per hour and the motors dont get too hot anyway it does look great tho : )

the only reason for the rear window being cut out was for air to come in and cool down the motor...

addin on this intake manifold wont help....

but actually decrease your performance........
