Re: Different look, same good feelings!
Quite an understatement there. Love the creativity. Are your intake manifolds home made? Keep up posted on your progress and experimentation.AlloyFusion wrote:...a lot of stuff going on with this project...

Re: Different look, same good feelings!
few pics of the tank mod up there 5speed.
Yeah I did my own intake. didn't have my CNC plasma back then and I hand machine my 3/8 plate then cut my aluminum tubing according to the space I was left with. I pretty much eyeball the height I needed and voila!
Question: ive seen that bmw with the atv differential somewhere here but I couldn't find anyone who actually did a GW chaine drive conversion... I know. its maintenance free that shaft, but its unchallenging. Pointer of previous thread?

Re: Different look, same good feelings!
Do you have a vent in that fuel tank? If not might cause fuel starvation at speed?
