Opinions on inlet manifold and fuel system

[MikeLMR]

I *Think* they are pretty much complete now. now I have to work out if it\'ll all fit in the engine bay as is quite a task when you consider the amount of cr@p on that side of the engine at the moment. I may have to strip it all off the car early to do a test fit. Trouble is that will leave me with an imobile car in a garage with no power .... hmmm got some thinking to do !

wow Mike, they look great!:D  Cant wait to see them on the car and find out what difference they will make. Such alot of work too. You must be well chuffed. Almost look too good to put on the car:rollin

[MikeLMR]

i\'m pretty happy with them ... not as well turned out as the bought ones and a few rough edges but they should work.

now I just hope they fit ! I\'m worried about the clearance with the brake servo. I measured up and the length is less than the measurement I took but that was a long time ago and I can\'t recall how close the brake servo and stuff is.

damn Mazda for putting the inlet and exhaust on the Right

Where\'d u get the ram pipes from Mike? what size are they? 50 x ? are they efihardware or summut?

[MikeLMR]

50x50 and were from injection perfection in Aus

Thanks Mike, figured it was IP or EFI-H.

do I get a prize for slowest progress and most missed deadlines on a project yet

bit hectic at the moment as my folks are having the garden/garage rearanged. I did however find my spare throttle cable in the old garage and its just about a perfect fit for the gsxr linkage ... which is nice.

Got to try and get over to the rx tonight and see if all this is going to fit ! fingers crossed it does.

Call this slow? I\'ve got a thirty year old Harley project in the garage. It\'s the project that\'s 30 - the bike is from 1928.  You need to calm down and stop rushing into things IMO! Either way its still one of the best stories I\'ve read on here!

I have some more photos for an update now. My camera batteries are dead and I can\'t scrounge a card reader at work so it\'ll be a while before they are up.

Good news is I think they clear the brake servo ... bad news is I won\'t know if they clear the steering box and everything else till they are actually fitted ... its a bit tight for space on a rhd car.

A slight bonus was my battery wasn\'t flat after not being used for 5 months ! ... theres somthing to be said about old cars with little or no electronics !

finally got some time to post these up (been a busy week with rallying and whatnot)

first off a picture of them sat in the engine bay with the flange lined up but just sat on top of the std. carb

[MikeLMR]

and a quick picture to show the space available, the main obstacle looks to be the steering box which looks like it might intefere with the underside of the throttle bodies. It will be hard to tell until I can take all the standard stuff off and fit it for real.
