Too many options with engines and packages to make a one size fits all....

We have a carbon box we made for the #18 race car...but again its pretty engine specific....

Your right Fran, It would be a nightmare and a full time job to design one for every configuration, the costs would be crazy.
I am very impressed with the design on Craigs car and would like to see how it was done, and how well it works, Hoping someone has more pic's of it.

That grey car airbox was built to draw cool air as the engine was raised to accomodate an Albins transaxle...ther was no room to run an intake tube as on a standard height engine.
The car makes great power with a Katech engine....

the #18 car , below also draws air in through the rear deck with filters mouted just below the body surfacesurface...

I already gave you info on the grey car ...ref. Albins transaxle above...

It was a one off also...and required the whole tail of the car being modified with two large air intake humps..
