manifold question

the manifold on my 89rs has a hole in it about the size of a penny. is it possible to weld a patch over this hole or should i just forget it, go out and buy a ford focus and pretend i have a sporty car? thanks:hail:

i'd hope so. a car should be faster. so, on your car, why not just buy another, yet better intake and stop being so cheap?

Uh, just curious. When did he say it was an intake manifold?

I've read a few replys that you've made today and you seem to be in a real "mood".

Don't assume that it's the intake manifold. Ask him and find out. That way you know he's not asking about an exhaust manifold, oh ye of little curiousity.

i'm always in a mood. mentioning the intake was an attempt at a response as to which manifold it was, but he never replied that it wasn't an intake he's having a problem with. actually, he never replied anything automotive.

I'm just playin' around. No flame intended.

And I guess you should be friends with my wife. She's ALWAYS in a "mood". Unfortunetly it's not the "whoopie" mood.

Anyway, just giving you a hard time (& not in referrence to the comment above ).
