[Es2] brief project update

[Miller, Chris]

Mine has the snorkel (part that sticks out towards the headlight and
into the base of the box) removed.  I'd like to make something similar
to the RS2 (which has a bigger snorkel than the late S2 one I've got).
So, any pictures of that would help.

The S2/RS2 box-in the area behind the headlight to direct air into the
snorkel, and keep you from injesting hot air from the engine
compartment.  I think I can create something like the 7A used to
accomplish the same.

Chris, I have an RS2 airbox and can snap some pix tonight.  Any specific
requests?  Mine just sucks air from the back of the headlight.  I
suppose funneling air to it a little better might help, but the car is
plenty fast as is.
