I did one on Peyote, which, if you look at a picture of Peyote, is kind
of a natural. There's 3/4 of a box there to begin with--the pop up in
the middle of the nose basically contains the carburetors. All I needed
to do to make a cold air box was devise a bottom plate that separated
the exhaust pipes from the manifold and then sealed to the pop up. I
made the bits and installed it about two years ago. It worked fine
though I couldn't detect any difference (didn't really expect to--it
takes more than ten percent to feel anything in the seat of your pants,
and a controlled experiment to see anything real in lap times).  The
first time I blew a head gasket at the track I suffered through removing
all the tin and bits and then putting them back on again. When the new
gasket didn't hold, I tore it all down again but this time I pulled all
the stuff off and stuck it in a box in the trailer. Hasn't been back on
since.

G'day
  Has anyone had any experience with using a air box at all on a TR3?
Would be interested in knowing if an air box will work or does it cause
other problems.
