Looking at the above pic If I had a 2.4 I might have gone for a switch-eroo and swapped the batt. over to the driver side and the filter to the pax side.
You'd have to extend the MAF wires and batt. cables but you'd end up with a slightly cooler intake air temp and a cleaner engine bay.

Great looking mods! I am in the process of doing mine now...I am actually getting rid of the air box and going with a filter. Quick question though (will use pictures to describe what I am talking about).
I am going with this style for my filter which means I am getting rid of my air box and everything else. So I have a MAF adapter, then a conical filter:
There are two sets of hoses that come off the intake plenum. I know where one goes, where does the other (the one highlighted):

plug it?
is that basically the same little tube that runs across to the filter box on a 22re? when I made my intake, I just put a little breather filter on it, but if I can block it off, then that's what I'll do

I live in Mexico at teh moment and parts are hard to find here so my ISR mod maybe a lil' ghetto, but I like the way it turned out. It clears both the hood and the master cylinder. I cleaned un the inside for smoother air flow. I still need to hook up the 2 hoses to it.
I made it out of 3" PVC pipe and 3, 45* elbows. What I don't know is if the PVC cement will hold up to the heat and movement. Anyone know??? For the rubber collars I bought a 3' piece of rubber tubing with an ID of 2-3/4 and just cut off what I needed. It was a perfect fit to the TB and MAF and I was able to strech it over the 3" PVC. The wall thickness of the rubber is 1/4".
On my first attemept I wasted about $30. The end result only cost me about $8-$10. Wish I would have tried the 2nd attempt 1st!

Don't paint it black that would increase the heat absorbtion. If anything paint her silver or just leave it white. You could also try one of those silver foil thermal bubble wraps, it might not make much difference keeping the incoming air cool but every little bit helps.

Most see mid range torque improvements like when driving up a hill...But dollar for dollar - this is a good bang for the buck (and fairly easy) mod - especially if you visit the electrical department at a local home improvement store.

It's not the light, dark colours absorb more heat then lighter colours and the metal colours like silver, gold and to a lessor extent shiney brass tones have reflective qualities that help to radiate heat away. Also paint can have a sealing effect plugging any micro fissures where the adhesive did'nt build up as well during assembly.
