I finished putting an FD upper intake manifold on my car this afternoon, along with a Greddy elbow. It looks pretty nice, and I seem to have a little more power. I managed to do it with the stock TPS, oil filler tube, and throttle cable.

I'll have vosko take some pictures when I stop by his house. I started to polish everything, but I REALLY wanted to get the car running. So I left everything with a "weathered" look from the wire brush. I also have to clean up the ports that T&R made bigger. I sanded them, but I kind of rushed it. I think that it gave a seat of the pants increase in power because my car went from 40-120 mph pretty quickly. :sigh:

They did the port matching and rounded the bolt holes at no charge, but I had to pay a friend of theirs $50 to do some welding to make everything seal properly.
