Cheers man! I dig it too, but alas I will be swapping it for a more fuel injection oriented intake soon

Just scoped your galleries - I dig your air cleaner! Wow! I really need to come check out your rides man - righteous

Upgraded and rerouted 0 gauge power wire from battery to starter, installed my stainless rocker covers and am now just waiting for my rear end parts to arrive!

Made the aluminum breather box (baffled inside)to fit the contour of the top passenger side of fire wall, ran vacume from rear iron oil port, oil filler neck oil port and ran them to the breather box , also ran 1 vacume to the uim .

I soon will replace ghetto tiny filter with a much more wider one lol for now it does the job
She use to smoke heavy b4 I installed the box.

Eventually I will make the hot side ic pipe one piece instead of 2.

Spotted a set of Hoshino Impul's for $600 shipped, made an offer of 500. Accepted. So I will be selling my Panasports once I get them refinished. New look done up in photoshop. I've been wanting a set of Impul's forever.

drove the fc to work while apologizing for not being able to show her some love, sat on my *** for 6 hours, drove home the "long way" and ripped up a few corners. she still does ok, but dailying her is taking a toll.

lets see , tabs were out in the fc and the rx8! so I had to drive the FD in the RAIN!

started getting the red t2 ready to sell, swapedt he exhaust off of it... the RB exhaust is nice , not sure if I like it on the grey fc tho... just makes the car look kind of bland.... still gotta swap bovs and finish putting the other exhaust back on the red t2.
