Since i installed the link i no longer need the afm so Dave made up this for me. Shortens the intake pipe by a huge amount so should in theory give better throttle response. Have a little more fitting to do but i reckon it looks pretty sweet and sounds good.
What do you reckon





Its not as tight as it looks in this pic and i will be making sure its not gonna move.


He also shot blasted a spare cam cover i had.




Looks better than new. Going to try getting it clear coated to try and keep the finish on it.

Nice Ashley. I must get me one of those Daves.

Would the air intake not be in rather a warm spot now though? Right behind the rad

yeah daves are real handy things to have.
May be a heat issue but not sure it will be hotter than on top of the exhaust manifold.
Also thinking of getting one of these. Which would solve the problem.

Ash, I was in touch with this guy... 135USD delivered.. wonder what the shipping on two of them would be... I'll ping him and see..

Just got a message back this morning : $270USD for 2 ..

No discount then. The bugger. You seriously gonna get one? I think it sounds like a good idea to me.

yeah, but it might be next year, I've the injectors to get in yet and the car is coming up to cambelt/waterpump/heater hoses/diff fluid/clutch fluid change time.
I've just picked up a shiney new blingy bit of scaffolding to help get the crank bolt out

Since there is no saving on postage or anything then i guess we can just do our own thing anyways.
