    FS: 1.8BP Custom Made ITB Setup This is a custom made setup I created for my previous car (03 MSP with 1.8BP swap). I got the car running on this manifold when I first did the 1.8bp swap into my 2003 MSP and was running n/a, however I never got around to building a proper plenum...

As we all know weight loss improves every area of performance (braking, handling, acceleration) and also improves the "feel" of the car.

    GI: Cheap IM Upgrade

    My buddy has been fabbing me an intake manifold to compare against the 626 IM when I go to the dyno in the next few weeks. What is nice about the design is that it has a removable plenum that can be swapped out for street/track driving so you can keep your powerband where you want it for DD and...
