How low is the air intake?

After a friend from another forum snapped conrods in his 147GTA in the last floods, how low is the air intake on the 166? I don't fancy a lunched engine.

Pretty low on a 147, unless it's a modified raised free-flow one that's fitted: Don't know about the 166. Have a look at the air box/filter assembly?:

Matt's GTA is getting a new Q2 diff and shiney bits whilst it's being taken apart so every cloud has a silver lining and all that.

Yep, from the bad, sometimes cometh the good,: Must go, time to stand by the Hippo pump, ominous storm clouds appearing again.:
