I like it! ! !
It's like a backwards open hood hotrod--the design makes sense!
Very cool! |

Unfortunately no, Batman would be pretty cool now that I think about it. It's actually a Star Wars lunchbox I used back when I was in Kindergarten...

Free horsepower from the shroud!  Why didn't VW figure this out?
What kind of filter element is in your lunch box? |

Just a round Empi 3 incher, might look for a less restrictive one. It's not a lot of horsepower, just a little at top end, running without a filter gives a quite noticeable difference in power.

I was going to do just that but all the Y's at Home Depot were too large. I'll continue to look at a few other places... |

That is actually pretty cool! I wonder if you would benefit from changing your pulley to a larger one.

Star wars is cool too, I was decieved by the black and red but now it adds up, my other option was Spiderman, only a decade or two off 
Impressive collection Slave1, but I don't see the turbo box in yours, is that a super rare one that gives you the willies to see used like that?, or is it far too common to disgrace your shelf?
Not judging, just curious because I don't know any better.

No man,it's your box, do as you like .
The only reason to keep things MIB is if you plan on flipping them later for profit. (i.e Lego Star Wars stuff, check ebay for Millenium Falcon Prices LOL)
I've made some good money off of mine and it's really come in handy when we were strapped for cash.
Im a child of the 70's and 80's
my collection is primarily Vintage stuff that I had as a kid (or wanted but couldn't afford). I'm currently thinning it all out due to the franchise saturating every facet of the planet. It's too much and I can't stand it. Besides, I'm selling my house and moving to a new one within the next year and I don't wanna pack all of this crap up.
