My next concern, are they going to be polished up?

I'm definitely leaning towards one if they're polished.

If you want it to be polished, it will be $75 more. The polish place I go to does decent job but not super nice job. If you want to see his work, go to http://www.rotaryextreme.com/engine.html to see some photos of the polishing job he did for my engine.

Man, it's not even the middle of January and we would have to wait until the middle of March to get these? Any way this can be sped up?

I need to have at least 5 peoeple before I can start on the batch. Once there are 5 people, it will be started and takes about 2 weeks to get them done.

I think one short fat filter would be better and easier to work with (similar to Knightsports). Both M2 and Tri-Point filters are known to fall off and are cheapy. HKS (in gold) and Blitz (in silver) make a stubby fat metal mesh filter. That will the lexan cover would be bad ***. :bigok:

The HKS or the Blitz filters are too big to fit in the box and they are very expensive as well. If you use those kinds, the air box will only work with the stock width intercooler.

I know that you guys are interested but don't want to pay full price like the tightwad you guys really are so I'm going to step up to the plate and order one. I like the Aluminum box cause it's solid and shiny ...

OK, we need 4 more ...

I know I've heard many times before that the M2 carbon fiber boxes

don't hold up as good as the aluminum boxes.. but wouldn't the aluminum

ones add even more heat to the engine bay?

just curious..

Aluminum doesn't really hold that much heat. Besides that, the air will be going in so fast that it won't be heated up. The group buy is still going on and the deadline is 2-28-02. Email rotaryextreme@aol.com if you would like to join. Thank you.
