Ace,

What is this? did u put a cover over your intake? I've never seen this. How do u like that style of strut tower brace? do have the torque brace w/ it?

I just painted the intake manifolds black. THat's why it looks funny.https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



I like the strut tower brace alot. I noticed a difference in handling when I first got it. I have the engine torque brace, but I need to grind some things to make it fit. I've been meaning to do that...for 10 months. :0

I got the rb torgue brace and was looking to get what u got on now with it. the strut tower that coonect to the firewall, looks nice to.

The strut tower brace is the Mazdatrix piece:

You can check out the details at http://www.mazdatrix.com/h7.htm .



There's a guy making a similar brace at http://ca.geocities.com/farmz1ca/RX7_Strut_Bars.html .

So if you removed your Charcoal Canister and capped the vent back to the tank do you get the big WhOOSH when you remove your gas cap?



With the vent capped it would seem you would have a huge vacumm in your tank and actually reduce your fuel pump flow?



I haven't connected the charcoal canister for my project vehicle yet but I didn't see any other way to do it.

I sanded EVERY single surface of the intake manifolds and TB cap. Then I painted them with 2 coats of gray primer. Then I used 2 coats of flat black. I used the spray cans that Pep Boys sells. I believe the brand was Plasti-kote.

I hear a big :wow: whooooosh :wow: when i remove my gas cap, and i still have the canister hooked up. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif
