Sweet! Can't wait to see it installed and hear it.

Plan to machine the PCV connections Saturday! As long as the weather cooperates some I should have things mocked up this weekend... Hoping to have it finished within 2 weeks.

Pending (expected very good) results, another item you can start selling Zack! Did you get any takers on the axle-back?

Nope... :shrug: Had a few interested in the EB exhaust but nothing ever developed... I think for the time being (tell semester is over/warmer weather) I'll just focus on building/finishing my parts.

So about them vacuum connections...

Took 4 hrs on a hand operated lathe to finish but it was worth it!

Those are two expensive (time investment) pieces of hardware! ;)
But I sure understand the labor of love working on a project like this is priceless! I appreciate the skill (and machinery access!) it takes for this project. It's awesome to watch and vicariously enjoy your project. Thanks for taking the time to include us in your projects journey! :cheers:

Haha not a problem! :cheers:

This was the first time I had actually used a lathe so it was quite interesting! You can imagine how nice it was to finish one and walk out to the car and hear that click when the connection seals!

Great work Zack, keep it up! I'm probably just going to stick with a K&N for now.

So about that cold air intake...

All that is left is a final polishing of the stainless steel and one bracket to hold the intake in place. It will mount where MAP has mounted their intake. I will also have a flex coupler in place of the coupler I currently have near the air filter.
