Man the color combo between the anodized blues, purples, and reds and the gold color, it all comes together so well. Hard to compliment these types of colors in this manner, awseom work dude.

Also, is the manifold premade? Or did you have a shop fab it up? Thanks

The manifold will be made very soon. I have all the material ready for the manifold and the exhaust.

The hole set up manifold/exhaust will be made out of 100% full Titanium. ... I will post pics when i start fabricating and welding that bad boy. It will all be made in house by me ....

Thank you for the compliments...

Crazy build. Probably my favorite kit for the FD. I like all the Grade 8 hardware.

I noticed you are using Wiggins clamps. Did you weld the back of the ferrule to the endtanks so the welds are not visible, or are they just there for mock-up?

The front removable section ( bumper support) is made mostly out of round bar and tubing.

I will post pics later on, when all set and done...

I was wondering what runners those were and where you got them from.

I'm currently putting together a PP 13b for a 99 miata and those look really good.

Also where did you get your PP parts? (or did you make them yourself?)

The pp parts came from Xtreame Rotaries, One thing before you contact them, Make sure you are siting down when they give you pricing ...
Thanks

Thank you. Their website seems to not be working? Is it just me or in general?

I guess I'll have to dig, dig, dig and try to get a PP sleeve CAD drawing from someone on here....

You are located in SE Mi? correct?

I'm sure trying really hard to get this done in time for the DGRR. I have so many other things going on right now. I can only sneak in a hour or two a week right now ...

Look into Ross Machine Racing throttle bodies. A firend just got one to replace his Q45 and it's really nice.
