Path for CAI on AE102

I want to install a Cold Air Intake on my AE102 Corolla but I can't work out where to run it.

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions...? Photos or a guide would be great

Ok I got some Photos today.

Airbox and current intake...

Hard to see from the photo, but i could maybe go straight down.

I could possibly come out below, slightly to the right of, the "air con cylinder thing" (not sure what it acutally is)

Also out of curiousity what is that "box"? It appears to be empty and i can't see anything going to or from it?

id imagine you will find the last pic is were the airbox gets its air! if you undo the airbox it will go threw the inner guard like the ae92's do and they have put that box in for the 102's.
you can make a hole in that box at the front of the car to duct air very easy by the look that will go straight to the airbox

but remmeber, but make sure you drill holes in the bottom of the last picks airbox if you do it this way so if you get a mouth full of water it can drain out. the only trouble with lower mounted intakes is that if you go threw a road that has semi flooded you get water sucked in unless you put the drains in. by the look of it its a much better cold intake system than the 92's etc. you will find if you look front wheel arch on the airbox side that there is louvers in the plastic inner on the front side that feed the box!
