    this is easy and has proberly been done before but i will post this to help people who have a 4-ac.
    unscrew top of carb air filter and turn it up other way and screw back on. it leaves a gap for more air, but more importantly an nicer and louder intake noise. here is photo. it sounds a lot nicer but proberly does not gain power. but the important thing is it sounds nicer

    Yeah I did this too, not bad for free. If your not owrried about it looking sketchy get busy with a hacksaw and get rid of the snorkle and enlarge the hole around it.

    If you look you can remove a fair amount of metal. Then it will really roar!

    just run a stocking over the carb!
    All my old thrashers had no air filters, the induction noise was sick! especially from those webbers of cortinas.

    When i tried to do this the thread of the bolt didnt stick out enough for me to screw it back up again. So instead i pulled the lid of a bucket, poked a hole in it n whacked it on top, it looks really neat. Similar to dctrd's idea, yet saves you plenty of time.

    YO! Check this shit out:

    If you want to be real ghetto about it, get one of those plastic plates, and drill a hole in it.
    Sorry for the massive pic, btw.
    The result:


    TOO COOL!

    You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?
