i dunno, but i needed it to get the ida manifold to clear under the bonnet, and buy chance teh company had a ten mm lower mount , and also looking at the build up pics of people who put cosmo motors in they are awfully close to hitting the bonnet as well,
But some will say its all about getting your dead weight lower in the chassis for better handling i reakon its bull crap talk to make you feal like your tough az bru

trial fitted my new intake today, looks the goods, averything fits, now its time to plumb th intake and change a few small things and re tune it on 30 psi ;
Im hoping this intake will free up some power that the ida setup was slowing down, will be interesting to see what the power curve looks like o the same tune first up

ok, small update before the season starts in a few weeks, i have now got a custom steel bellhousing made for me to fit directly onto the tII gearbox , as after a few clutch explosions in Australia last year that fragments went into the crowd and hurt spectators the governing body banned ballistic blankets, and since i had one wrapped around my factory alloy bellhousing it was time up for me to get a steel bellhousing or a steel scatter shield.
Now our rules state that scatter shields have to be 6mm steel and totally wrapping 360deg the clutch area , and also be bolted to the chassis/floor-pan area, like **** i was going to do that as the weight would be triple more than doing a custom bellhousing , even still the steel bellhousing weighs a **** load more than stock
the factory bellhousing would at a guess weight 10 pounds, the new unit weighs 22 pounds that means i gotta stop eating big macs
At least the money invested in getting this done is for safety in the end, its **** to spend $1950 US to have something not make you go faster but its gonna at least save my legs if **** hits the fan , and the good thing is that it can be adapted to suit any brand of gearbox down the track, so this is in effect the last bellhousing i need to buy
even got a cute little billet candle stick made for the clutch throw out bearing as well the dude that made this unit is a dead set legend

im having dramas just getting the box on, the dude who made it has made it real close the the ring gear, so now i have to grind back some of the flange just so i can get it over the ring gear , **** god damn it, i also had a old cut off input shaft as my aligner tool, i borrowed it last week so i know that's perfect
Im gonna be pushing it close to even make the first event ive entered in a weeks time .
With your unit, see if its just a adjustment problem, not sure if you know how to adjust the freeplay out of the system, its the rod up under the dash.
