Interested to see how you go about this. I could use some on mine.there is an area i plan to make a plastic liner for

Have you looked at live data while driving it? Could well be leaning out somewhere or perhaps a timing blip in the map. Shame to lose the ITB's really but if it works, it works I guess. Totally get making the clutch more friendly though, it's one aspect of competition cars that I always disliked tbh.
defo doing the right thing mate.... different if it was balls out for some of that racing in england that it may fit into..... but for a useable fun car, defo the more road friendly box etc and manners !! will make you use it more (or use it at all !!) so for sure the right path
I had that kind of airbox in the Lotus when it was still a Rover in there. It encloses the ITB trumpets, and then you can duct fresh air directly into it from the outside via one of those flexible air duct hoses. Just makes the air supply so much more consistent than using air from the engine bay.
That said, surprised the mapper didn't map it with the bonnet on if it is really that sensitive...
Might Even put some bigger mirrors on it and fit a more comfortable seat (def. softening with age)
Ah right, see what the craic is. Absoloutely the simplest option to put the plenum back on, probably take the edge off the noise too and make it more road-able.
I'll volunteer for a bit of road based data analysis all the same just to save you all that work changing stuff over lol..
I think for a road car, the plenum makes sense, as there would be little airflow in slow moving or stationary traffic and even when you are moving at a rate the proper supply of cold air will have decent benefits. I'm sure I even noticed it on my Civic once I added a proper isolated cold air intake.
you could always paint the top cover and get a wee custom inlay make it quite smart looking.
Off topic slightly but discussing mappers, is your man from Ballymoney still tuning cars? Can't remember his name but from memory did @KeithRobinson nova?
Obvious question, but assume the standard plenum will fit under the bonnet ok?
You can always get it carbon dipped or whatever you want.
Or make your own I'm sure @slickcell would be happy to oblige.
