any opinions/feelings about that intake mani? I was looking at them myself a while ago-- they are pretty competetively priced for what they are, that is if they work. lol

Re: Project:De-rice the rice rocket. PICS!!!! Updated 6-25-07 IT'S ALIVE!
She's alive, it's actually been running for about 2 weeks now, I'm just not on often enough to update as much as I'd like. Fires and runs like a champ, steady 20 inches of vac. and a steady oil pressure of 60 psi. I do have a CEL on (21-VEETACK ----), but I'll deal with that later. I had to hack up the BMC downpipe and (being a cheapass) I just reused all of the scrap that I was hacking up to make it so it would fit. (mig/tig/bmc/darkelvisfab downpipe yay!) The dp will be heatwrapped as well as the upper rad hose (god I hope that ****** doesn't melt)
