Default Crazy triple filter intake in fender?

Somewhere, someplace I saw someone's awesome intake with triple air-filters in the fender. Any tips on where I can find those photos again?

Thanks

I have a hard time understanding how that setup fits with the standard bumper cover as the marker light on the US bumper is right in the way of that middle leg...

It's been engineered very well i've been told by George. I dont see the need for it on a sub 350hp car. but on his car, with the amount of power he sees, It has it's gains.

This would make a wreath worth being laid at the tomb of the unknown tuning soldier.

Slim fit LED marker lights using factory lens covers.

Hey Paul,

Neat your keeping data on the build. I've kept most build data to share with anyone willing to build a well sorted, nuts fast 951. During last oil change, found the sway bar bushing was destroyed. Called Elephant Racing and this is on it's way. Rear is sway is adjustable. Neat piece, and I won't have to change all the bushings. I've got their Poly Bronze bushings everywhere available, and trust their knowledge towards our cars.

Rear sway bar currently in the car is adjustable, this pic is the new front piece from Elephant Racing. I've kept the M030 bar in place, the KW setup with the factory front sway bar worked well. The rear setup, with coil springs, and TB set to zero needed an adjustable sway bar. The cost of new bushings, time to install, vs their complete front adjustable sway bar set up was an easy deal.

You've also got a well documented thread on another forum. Not sure if i'm allowed to mention the name of the forum, but it's a quiet one.

I'm here to help anyone wanting to revive/modify a neat part of engineering history. Deal is what I learned with my first 951 purchased in 1995. Prior to any modifications, the car has to be brought up to factory "as - new", prior to any modifications, unless the mods are part of the "as - new" deal.

Today, this costs more than many new cars, so these cars - well sorted are becoming rare, and keenly valuable to the few that love-em.

My first 944 was an 85.5 NA in 1988. DROOLED over the Turbo S cars. Was racing a 1978 280z with an inline six DOHC Skyline junkyard motor delivered from Japan. The brakes were in dire need of replacement. No body work from ****ty brakes, but fade is scary, was part of the deal when power/suspension/tires made up for lack of upgraded brakes/budget.

Point: Once I learned "smooth" is faster with an instructor, my 85.5 NA 944 was faster in time than my overpowered 78 280Z at track. Smitten from this lesson learned, as I thought the Z was much faster - till the times recorded shared truth. This was a completely stock 944, and my daily back then.
