Re: Dope status
Ahhhhh...that's better!!!
Its amazing what a quick photo chop can do, and even though it isnt the best job i could have done, its enough to realize the potential.
Why dont people slam S2K's like VW guys do?.....I wish trends would flip. I would rather see a busted oil pan on one of these rather than a golf...rabbit..gti..whatever you wanna call it.

Re: Dope status
That is nice.
Those 16 purple Adel Wiggins clamps on the intake runners are completely unnecessary. Not very good for flow, and the less quick release couplers the better for reliability. Probably ok for runner length tuning during development, but I'd still make a welded setup before actually racing it. I'm still forming an opinion about the blowoff valve location; I don't really know what to think about that. Actually, nevermind, that's the only place they could have put it because of the MAF locations.
It looks like they had the intake piping come in at the other end of the intake manifolds, and had to block it off when the added the bodywork support (black slender bar). I would have redone the manifolds to fit with the piping on the better end and got rid of 8 or so feet of intake tubing.
Between that stuff and the rubber vac lines with no clamps on them, I don't know if that's actually a serious racecar. I don't see a crossover in the intake piping either, which really puzzles me. That means there can be unequal pressures on the two cylinder banks.
Great fab work, some of the details just leave me scratching my head..
