Looking good now.
However I spotted a problem though. Surely the whole idea of a 'cool induction kit' it to situate the air filter in a cooler area (preferably with stale air not forced) so the engine gets cooler air = which is denser = more Oxygen = better combustion = more power. You have routed it from the cooler side of the engine to the hotter side, next to the exhaust?
Surely this would lose power?

Well spotted, I'm still waiting on a delivery of nice angled blue pipe which will fit between the maf and chrome pipe to take the filter further away from exhaust and radiator .
Also planning on putting an ally heat shield in. |

My next dilemma is what to do with the stereo ?
I've currently removed the entire centre section of dash so hence the stereo too.
If I put it in the glove box I wont be able to operate it unless I have a passenger or I'm stationary. Same for a boot location.

Currently looking at some on eBay (spooky)
Will the remote work if the head unit is hidden in the glove box or boot? |

You are going to use a flowerpot for the CAI aren't you?
Took 1/2 a second off my 20-80 time compared to an unshieldeed K&N filter

Yes it makes a noticeable difference. Try and duct still air to the shielded filter for best results. Strangely sticking the filter in a fresh air direct flow is not as good.

The Mazda already has a heat shield fitted at the factory over the manifold , so when I fit the other one it should be ok ...... I hope |

And Frank Beard from ZZ Top had a 250 GT converted into a GTO Spyder as well which I didn't know

I know it may not help but I have 3 builds simultaneously at any time with all the problems you have. Good fun isnt it?

Still not happy, have a few hours free now but dreading going into the garage in case I can't fix the problem 
I always have plan C which is completely remove the hinges and fix with four bonnet pins. This is a route I don't want to take as I like the idea of hidden hinges.
On the upside maybe the car fairies visited during the night and fixed it? |
