I like your way alot better.

I see you no longer have the 6 port actuators. Did you just wire them open? You need to remove those restrictive actuator rods and glue the sleeves in or there is no gain. Try it you'll definitely notice it.

That looks great. So basically you mounted your air filter in the "brake air ducts" for your cold air huh? I bet that works great!

I too have a cold air intake, but mine is routed directly forward where the Hlight mounts use to be (I have non popups). BUT your setup looks great! I dont know why this mod isnt more common? Just to be safe If I had your setup Id buy one of those 50$ bypass valves from AEM. Also youd be one of the few rotaries with an AEM part! I like to laugh about the fact that my CAI(and 3" TB ilnet) is made from a Honda intake from DC!
BUT very nice owrk keep it. I have a lot of respect for inginuity, and do it your self sort of custom fabbing!

Drift style? Your cars body panels are too clean to be considered "drift style". Im curious why you called your exhaust "drift style".

Nate supposedly not having your afm mounted flat or horizontal where either the waffle is showing or the black cover is showing is asking for trouble but remember when i told you how my idle was jacking until i tilted my afm a little not enough to mess up the gravity on it though......

Boost...i too thought about using a honda intake for the piping because it fit the same with a little cutting and a 94 eclipse intake is about the same as well

Wan im glad you asked hehe https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...ht=drift+style Man i hope people arent thinking i am really considering my exhaust drift style cause im the guy that corrected that kid in the first place for calling it that
