Sorry of the big ass pics but my computer crashed and I havent reloaded photoshop yet.



I shaved my new UIM down to bare bones.

What do you think? This is sanded down to 180 grit so far.

Some other guy did this so i guess now I am a copy cat.

i think it went on an atkins diet

Anyway. I will finish it off tomorrow.

I also am doing a filler neck and a water pump housing that I shaved the Air pump bracket off of.



I have to go through emmissions testing then I will swap these parts on to my car.



I'll sell the UIM I have on my car now if anyone is interested. $200.

I'll trade ya https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

I don't understand what you're doing, Dave. Shaving the UIM? Usually shaving means removing, no? lol https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png

Pretty soon, there will be no more aluminum to shave/buff/polish.. LOL

Yes shaving the UIM. Not shaving the intake mainfolds off.

I shaved all the front brackets off the UIM. The two for the WG and PC solonoids off. Also the mount of the pressure tank is shaved off. I shaved the casting lines off. I shaved off the ovel humps from the front side.



Just compare that pic to any other 3rd gen UIM and you should spot the areas that have been shaved down.
