Standard colour for me is were it's at, im only painting it so it looks cleaner, has quite a few scratches from the last engine swap and then pulling the B18 again.
I do get customs charges on some stuff, ive had a fair bit through recently without charges

Re: EF9 *sunlight pg 75*

Also got my OMNI Power 70mm Throttle body with a new TPS Sensor through the other day, very impressed with the quality, almost OEM style but bigger
Heard a few stories about the throttle sticking on other aftermarket tb's (BDL/SKUNK2 etc) so I went for one with an OEM type throttle spring. It was miles cheaper too than other aftermarket ones.

Re: EF9 *MOAR UPDATES pg 75*
About 6 weeks.
I have everything now. Just need a few gaskets and bits and bobs.
Now I just need time, which im not going to have much more of soon.
Quite a bit needs doing though, steering rack needs refurbing.
My traction bar is gonna take a while to come too. Should be worth it though!

Re: EF9 *MOAR UPDATES pg 75*
Your going to have to make a custom air intake pipe yeah T? Because once your engine is in, the inlet Manni n TB is going to be close to the body. Or will the clearance be k?
Re: EF9 *MOAR UPDATES pg 75*
Custom air intake setup unfortunately. BillB broke the news to me the other day ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
Im going to see if the AEM will work if I cut away some of the piping, if not then custom it is.
I will be running a custom setup for drag/track anyways.

Re: EF9 *MOAR UPDATES pg 75*
im sure the aem, could be easily adjusted with some rubber pipes and adapter, so i dont think you will need to go custom? maybe??
HATE THE GAME, NOT THE PLAYER !!
Re: EF9 *MOAR UPDATES pg 75*
Cue I will try to fit it of course, but im not sure 'cos the TB will be very close to the MC.

Re: EF9 *MOAR UPDATES pg 75*
Yeah we pissed about for ages trying to work out if there was a way of fitting an intake, but bits need cutting. It's not a massive job, just need a bit removing between the 2 bends in the intake pipe to shorten it slightly.

Re: EF9 *MOAR UPDATES pg 75*
Id rather make a custom airbox and piping for it, if it starts to be a ball ache.
