  1. i might have to disagree on the intake gasket, i have had 2 of those on my car and they always wanna do the same thing, if i dont put sealer around the water ports, they slowly start leaking, then if i put sealer on, they will still start to seep, and leave weird deposits around the intake??  maybe i have had some bad luck?? the surfaces are very clean and very straight, so thats not a problem.  i had a victor reinz intake gasket that i liked the best, it was just straight black gasket material, no metal or nothing, then i coated the whole thing with gasket sealer, any leaks here,  i think not!

  2. anythings possible but if we cater to all 20 designs people have dreamed up nothing would get done.The 83 style is a great idea and perhaps a cowl style as well lets get a few produced, then move on to the custom stuff . People have waited this long a little longer wont hurt .

     

     

    yeah thats cool, i can wait for sure, and i am pretty sure somebody other than me would like the stock style.

     

    take your time

  3. i have recently done some research on the ins and outs of downforce on cars, but you really cant say downforce on most any production car because they are way off the ground, have rough edges all over underneath the car, and usually have a useless rear spoiler. having said that, you will most likely be reducing the lift at higher speeds, unless you really put on some big daddy wings on both ends, but then the coefficent of drag would be way up.  what i planned to do was put on an aluminum plate extending from the front air dam back to the crossmember, then maybe a couple more pieces on the floor pans, and finally one on the rear angling slightly upwards,(like the rear of the car does anyway).  how much will this really do?? ::) might be fairly useless, considering the car needs to be low to the ground. also you cant extend the front pan all the way to the middle w/o making some vents for the air that is going into the eng. comp.  besides where are you ever really gonna need downforce, maybe the silver state i guess.  if we had a ferrari f355, we wouldnt need to worry, they already come stock with downforce.
