Hey all .. paycheck is in the bank and im going to splurge a little bit on the car again this week
im going for a pod filter. i got a mate coming over to help out .. but just incase he doesnt know how to do something im wanting to know how to put them on
i understand that the AFM is the metal block under the black box in my RA65 and from what ive read in these forums i need some sort of clip .. is this clip easy to get a hold of ?
ummm. .. basically i have to take out the black box but there is a pipe that also connects to the bottom of the AFM and into the air filter .. so when taking off the box does the pipe stay on there ?
and there is another pipe off the back of the big black box which goes to another box 
it looks complicated and i dont wanna stuff anything up ..
if anyone can give me some tips .. id be thankful

That's an emissions thingy.
What I did, was buy a K&N drop in replacement filter, and then swisscheese the airbox with a large drill bit (but not around where the crankcase vapour from the emssions thingy gets re-sucked in by the filter).
I don't recommend this - as with all pod filters without any thermal sheilding , all you're doing is sucking in hot air. I ended up taping all the swiss-cheese holes up, and going back to near-stock. Never got around to sorting the cold air intake out properly.
Best bet... if you're alreaady bought the pod filter.... would probably be house it within the stock air box, and then have some cold air intakes feeding up to the front of the box (and cut holes in it to suit). See pics of Nark's car for pics of the piping & sheilding.
BTW the "other box" you talk of, underneath the air filter box, is the 'stones/dirt catching thingy'. Most people remove it. I took mine off & lost it.
