    Hey guys,
    So i have been working on keeping my daily driver running strong by keeping my hands dirty for the last 2 weeks. I have a Shift Kit ready to order as long as I have the funds for it this next week as the shifting between 1-2 and 2-3 has always been a bit off but never anything I could not handle. But currently I have replaced all ignition wires with Taylor 8mm Spiro Pro wires and some premium iridium plugs.

    Now the next project was the Air intake.
    $27.00 - Chrome filter with short chrome pipe, on Ebay (mostly just to test this process, better filter to come)
    $7.10 - 3 inch short, straight flex coupling from Lowes
    $6.88 - 3 inch 90 degree angle flex coupling from Lowes

    The straight coupling was easily modified with a drill, to accommodate the fitting




    What do you guys think?
    I still need to find the best way to strap that pipe to the engine bay somehow. Still debating with myself

    What's your long term goal?
