      I can imagine this will become quite the beast with more compression and a decent cam. Will you be CNCing/vac bagging? Looking forward to this quite a bit

        As far as the intake, I’ve done some Fiberglass work before and a vac bag does ensure a good finish, it’s rather cheap in the grand scheme of things and not much effort. I’m actually excited to make it, i do enjoy working with the materials. Biggest thing is determining the size/shape of the airbox- not quite sure what to shoot for but there’s research to be done there

            Awwwww yea- MS2 and coils just arrived from Ol frank Leogrande so this means if anyone wants an MS1 V2.2 modded for wasted spark let me know- I have about 100$ in it after the ignition drivers but I’ll take a fair chunk less than that.

              So pumped. Yeah I've made vac bags from vinyl, its pretty easy/cheap and you can use a hand pump system if you dont want to make a venturi vacuum system to hook up to your compressor..if you even have a compressor. A hand pump would be plenty sufficient as long as you use the right breather cloth and everything, but I would imagine that you've already done the research for that being in aerospace and all lol.

                So a little update here: Got some photos from Matt whose machining my flanges! Something about freshly machined metals makes me all tingly inside..

                Beginning stage:

                And this is showing the 1.75 tubing that will be welded on to each to give me a surface to clamp the 2” to 1.75” silicone reducers

                Can’t say again how happy I am to have these cause now I can do some mock up in car and get a real idea of how it’s all gonna look!

                If anyone is interested in a set of flanges cost is 60$ and Matt lown performance has the correct drawing. 1/4” aluminum, 1 inch ish (haven’t decided) collar welded on each flange

                  Welding the the collars to each flange is an additional charge- 60$ covers materials and milling by themselves

                          back from the dead with updates

                          So like I mentioned I had to take a step away from the car for a while until I settled down here in Dallas Texas. Now that I have im back with a few small updates.

                          First I was able to steal this Kirk 6 point cage from a local down here for 200$ delivered to my door, couldn't beat it so had to do it.

                          Then a good friend from home offered up a brand new Sparco and slider for an even better deal of 300 together.. so I had to get that also

                          Then I opened up the new to me "MS2" only to discover that it was in fact an MS1, but the seller was cool and refunded me so I put that money towards an MS3 daughter card, that should be arriving this week :)

                          lastly the flanges turned out awesome, Matt really killed it. my Welder back home is going to add on the collars for me this weekend and I should have them in a week or two then I can do some mounting and build the throttle linkage! once that's done all that's left is to fire it up and hit the tuning hard. I will have more to post as I finish collecting the last pieces to the puzzle

                          Oh and the silicone reducers came in the Mail as well so heres a crappy picture of an idea of what it will look like
