hi dagger .
i am curious to know why the intake was modded in this way , with the blocked pipe coming out of the intake
awesome car you have.
Thanks. Heres the info about it, and it DOES work very nicely, i felt it right after the install -
''After the intake mixture (fuel and air mixture) enters a cylinder, the intake valve slams shut. In the stock manifold, the intake mixture starts to recoil off the back of the intake valve and back-flows up the intake runner to the plenum. But with a pulse chamber manifold, the intake mixture goes straight back into the pulse chamber because that is the path of least resistance. Next the mixture recoils off the back of the capped-off tube (the pulse chamber) and heads for the back of the intake valve ready to enter the engine when the intake valve opens. Since the intake mixture is ready to go into the cylinder, the cylinder filling is increased and the engine makes more power. From past Dyno testing, we can claim a 15% increase in midrange torque with this manifold.''
So heres a lil progress, no pics tho sorry !

-
* New brakelines (copper and rubber), they run from the interior throught the handbrake now;
* Suspension all fitted;
* Diff Powerflex mount;
* Exhaust got taped and reinstalled;
* Gear linkage modded and installed;
* Measured the rollcage dimensions again and ordered 10 more meters material;
* Electric fan install;
* Aluminium custom airbox;
While the car waits for rollcage we threw everything together (exept dash and windows) and tried it out a bit. Oh yeah it was also missing the exhausts last part, pretty noizy that way.

Anyway it was awsome, the car has no grip at all and can easily be drifted til the end of 3rd gear. 4th gear i didnt have a chance to try yet... not so good roads there, and also bugs and insects start to hurt at that speed, hahahaha.
The car should be completed in a few days now. Then it will need some paint and a lot of cleaning.
