GrimmSpeed Intake Misalignment?

That is with me pushing on the lid to the passenger side. It won't go any further to the passenger side and the holes are still not aligned. Did anyone else have this problem? All of my hose clamps and the bolts to the air box are loose so there's some wiggle room, but still not enough to line up the holes. It seems as if the box or lid is possibly bent out of shape?

okay apparently I didn't think it through... I put the lip of the lid on the inside of the airbox. It was supposed to go on the outside of the airbox lol. it all works now. embarrasing :bonk:

Hey it happens to the best of us! I wish I had been around yesterday and I could have saved you 8 minutes of your life :P

Glad to see you got it sorted!

It's a tight squeeze even while lined up. Helps to lead it in place with a few of the screws then it all lines up.

Now the question is when the oil cooler friendly box will be ready. How about a Grimmspeed thermostatic oil cooler as well? @GrimmSpeed :)

HA, it'll be a few months out for sure, we'll certainly announce them once we get closer to release.

And there's already a lot of good oil coolers out there, unless we have a brilliant and innovative idea we're not going to dive in. We're currently frying bigger fish ;)
