Sorry of the big *** 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

 

I don't understand what you're doing, Dave. Shaving the UIM? Usually shaving means removing, no? lol

 

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.
