Can't be any worse than cars with big intake scoops on the bonnet for tmics surely. 

I know some snorkels have a leak off for BIG water ingress. 

A TMIC won't draw water in, just has air passing through it.  But yeah, there's plenty of CAI setups that would be at risk, if it was an issue.

Found a couple of cool BOAT's, with no TRO's. 
Good fun for the nooby driver and unsuitable vehicle.

Surprisingly decent, given how few of the lanes are accessible and gnarly enough to max my truck out, in places.

[loserone]

Oh aye, I should have recognised that - I did them in my impreza once after visiting the quarry.

Nice work lol. No ground clearance issues?

I dragged my diff a couple of times, but that was on the lane where you turn left, after the quarry.

I finally bothered my arse, to replace the false floor that I made from cheapo ply, during Lockdown.

I've kept the frame, but went with 18mm phenolic ply, this time. Instead of the central access hatch, I have hinged half of the floor, so I have maximum access to tbe surprisingly useful space, which used to be the footwells and seat squab area.

It's fitted with proper bike fork mounts this time - not the tubing from my loft ladder handle and conduit clamps - and x8 lashing points, as opposed to zero.

It's not finished, yet, as I am going to add T Bar handle latches, a gas strut and make a frame of sorts to hold x4 25L drums, the frame, along with the bike mounts will be easily removable, so I can keep the flat floor, but it probably won't ever be much 'tidier'. Given the use of this car is threefold; Green laner, MTB carrier and anything else/tip trips etc.

As you know, I am hardly precious about it.

It's a workhorse and always will be.

I also upped my funnel game, by buying a couple of bolt on magnets and attaching them to the funnels  #gamechanger and after 5.5 years, it has earned better than the shit, ill fitting, mismatched Aldi seat covers that it permanently wore and now rocks my extremely long serving Town & Country set. They make a lot of sense in here and are the best seat covers I have had. 
I am down to 2 for the other cars now. I guess I will be buying 2 more.

A lot of people do. You will have to be clearer. 😂

I'm not stupid (honest*), but I did click the play button at least 4 times before I clocked what it was...

Does that funnel work? The magnets are powerful enough?

Aye. Just the job.

You could always bolt two to the one funnel, if you felt the need.

Also it turns out that an MR2 turbo happily carries 100L of WVO.

The rear boot on these is always referred to as small, but given the size of the car, I can never agree.

I should probably include the goings on with that car in this thread, too - evidence of recent engine loom swap, highlighted by me not clipping the carpet back into place.

Fantastic idea, that I will be duly copying. Say goodbye to gaffer tape and helpers with this one neat trick that scientists don't want you to know. 

MAGNETS.

Nope. Nine.

Eight and a half inside surely?

That's "in as fuck", there's no 'whole of the ball across the whole of the line' rule here.

Nine and still enough room for a passenger, a spare wheel and a couple of packed lunches. 

It was hot so you'd need the window open anyway.

Always a pleasure to roll with the hatch glass open, Slow asphyxiation via WVO.

I dig it.

[beko1987]

Oooh 9! I can only fit 5 pallets in my car. I feel inadequate now 😢

I had the boot up once with a sofa in the back with my Xantia estate and every time I sat idled the car filled with veg exhaust 😂 wondered what was going on at first, thank goodness it was in hybrid mode or it could have been dangerous. 

[tom13]

Love this truck. Rear area looks great now as well. Also yes we need MR2 content.

I dunno what is a good or bad effort TBH, mate. But 5 in a Xsara is it? sounds decent to me!

Cheers, fella.

It's well handy, now. All me MTB gear stashed under the floor, today.  Ideal.

I'll write something up for the SW20. 👍🏻
