custom intale... thoughts...
ive already considered the coolant passages. im going to plumb in some fittings. and just run a hose from one side to the other. ive read and heard that these intakes dont flow that well. plus the coolant runs through it meaning hotter air which is bad. and well what the hell why not. hah

;)well i got the bearing changed tuesday. yay... well i noticed the tire settles funny. like the top is toed towards the car. camber i think. i always get camber and caster confused. hah so the side exhaust mounted up good and solid. but since its on the drivers side the engine torques up on that side which in turn rotates the exhaust up and broke one of my flange bolts lmao so i literally need muffler bearings or somthin haha. maybe one of those burly flexible metal tubes would work too.

in the proceess of the 6 lug swap. got two wheels done. 15 x 7s. i just need to decide on tires. the wheels alone stick out an inch and 3/4 gonna look sick. shootn for 26 - 27.5. tallest i measured you can go without rubbing on the the inside of the fender where its pretty rigid. on the front that is. idk about the back it looks like itll be about the same of course ill be triming the fenders haha. Tire recommendations are very welcome thanxs : >

if it does i was gonna mod one to mount a carb on. will this mount up to my ea82 carb engine or is there some inconvenient coolant passage issue.

carb question
ok so most people will say put a weber on it. well from what hear and read its the best. I like to experiment with different things and try to not follow the crowd. just for gits and shiggles. wouldnt throwing a bigger carb off of say a z24 nissan do the same thing. More cfm = more air + gas which =vroom.... cuz i can pick one up for like 30-40 bucks. also...... why would the weber boost power so much more than the hitachi???

Building exhaust for spfi ea82
well i dont have a cat and have a glass pack. sounds frickn sweet but it does get loud. so if you do use a glass pack put it closer to to your engine if you can. im not sure but i think this helps muffle it down a lil bit. less pipe to reverberate b4 the "muffling" device haha. thats just an assumption though.

yet another thought....... carb crappn out
ya thats what i planned on doing but my dad has the compressors plug in tore apart for some reason grrrrrr...........
