A wider shot of the whole car would help you appreciate how well it suits in real life.

Sure i'll try to get one this week

I'm not gonna lie, the poor man got a fair bit of sh*t for it at his last Rover meet, the most hilarious of which was "the 17 year olds and their wrx's are THAT WAY" hahahahaahahaa but they were very impressed with the craftsmanship nonetheless

Only if you want to.

Im happy that you took photos showing my workmanship, taste is very subjective anyhow.

He should have said, " well why dont you go join the other sheep in the paddock the opposite direction".

Hey guys,

After a long day doing what I had been putting off, and my GF made me do (clean the shed, amongst other things) I didnt get to the metal supplier until 5.05, and it closed at 5.. Yay. Also Ill add that I loathe weekends, they are so useless.

Anyways, When I got home I threw some bits together now some of my stuff has arrived in the mail.

This is a trial version which I will probably sell for 200 bucks.

Can people give me feedback here?

Quick Q and A:

Yes I will weld final versions.. :mrgreen:

2.5" front pipe, 3" inlet pipe.
Mandrel not lobster, unless requested.
Firewall or Spec Miata style on request.

Also, now Ive seen the photos Ive decided it looks better with the raw 3" inlet, without the bellmouth, but Ill include these as an option anyway.

Just for shits and giggles I spose, sounded good though. Like an oldschool V8 should.

Emily took these photos for me the other day to throw up.

Maybe not the prettiest thing you have done but surely not enough to throw up to. :mrgreen:

Heaps of people who have seen it in real life have really liked it.

My work was perfectly pretty, its the taste that varies...

Few folks have asked how the intake pipe Dann made looks - here are some photos. It truly looks awesome and is very good work. It is also very small/tight and tidy... so fits with plenty of space around it.

The bell mouth will actually help intake flow.

Can you do an NB version for me please? I want the intake to point down into the opening behind the left headlight.
