yeah it was hooked up when i had the 22r, but I've yet to sort that out for the 7m, i have to re-modify the air box, also trying to figure out what to use filter wise for better flow rates
thinking at the moment of running a pod in the box and a pre cleaner in the snorkel when i go bush

yeah i just got to modify the out lets on it again
with the air flow meter the inlet is near the front of the car, and the outlet of the box is facing the back, so just need to get it all in the right spots
when i first set it up i was only expecting to run a non turbo 7m, so things have changed a bit

i bought a whole ma70 supra(non-turbo) and when i got it home and started getting it going, there were a few things that didn't add up, like it had coil packs instead of distributor, different intake manifold, and some booty fab pipe in the intake that was quiet weird.
any way i then see the 7m-GTE badge on the timing cover, turns out the motor was from a mz21 soarer and was a turbo motor, it must have blown a turbo and they had just taken it off and put the normal exhaust back on
so i couldn't see the sense of putting a low comp out of tune motor in the bundy, so i got a turbo and manifold off ebay for bugger all

Just found out
there is alumz steel which is mild steel with a coat over it
The mild steel will rust and fark shiit Poz
and it welds the same youll have to remover the coat over the top if you want to paint it

what about the coating that gets burnt off when ya weld it, i'm not really worried abut it will take years for it to rust if it does, i'm fairly sure i got it all painted anyway
can you get this stuff in mandrels?

shit thats good value, considering the steel for mine cost 200,would maybe consider it if i had to get another
but saying that, its the building of things and the creativaty that i get enjoyment out of, (and also when people ask where i got that done, "nah mate did it myself")
