RB Air Filter Assembly & Sterling Carb = :yum:
 
Hadn't had a chance to post pics of this which I put in a couple of weeks ago.

Very happy with the resultant power increase.

I bet you are. I've driven Sterling's car and it kicks some serious ass.

Steel inserts?

RotorMotorDriver 09-11-04 09:31 PM

The cast iron rotor plates. The red ones, is it paint or powder coating. I think thats what he means :).

Dude don't even start... you were sitting in the SA all day right next to my FB, at SS7. All you had to say was the word and we would have gone do it foo!

it's not my car :(
but i will tell you this, the 12a IDA is no slouch at all
and how come you turned down wackoricer's offer for direct fire?

cdrad51 09-12-04 01:05 AM

I believe you. The SA does look fast. Maybe when Dave's knee is better we will be able to finally go.

On Wacko and direct fire, I just gotta take a break spending money in the car. I'm broke! I'm spending $60 a week in gas alone!

Jeff20B 09-12-04 02:27 AM

There is always the increase in gas mileage with direct fire to consider. ;)
