Sorry about the long delay in posts guys, man didn't think i was this far behind - I seem to have been posting slower than a snail in heat! just waiting for 2 key parts to arrive before i can post what i have been doing in its entirety.

Sorry for the long wait guys, I have 5 things on the go and was waiting for it all to be finished before I post them - here' s one project that I recently finished: A airgrabber on a RPM intake that actually fits under the hood, another guy tried this on roadrunnernest.com where he cut just enough and cheat it slightly but the hood really pressed down on the intake, I wanted something that was a perfect fit, I bought this base from YearOne, its a cheap fiberglass base that you don't have to worry about cutting into it, and it feels significantly lighter compared to the steel OEM base. I may weight it later to see the weight savings...



cut the hole i wanted - wanted to get it as low as possible so I have no issues: 




My QFT carb has two screws on the car that were preventing it from going lower, the nuts are just the size i need to putty over








my dad teaching me how to work with carbon fiber






Use the piece I cut off to trace out the size of the hole




slowly sand to where I want it




sand, paint, put her on - a perfect fit!!




More stuff to come!
