Looks really good.
How I wish I still had my car so I chould mod it...

 

thanks, for the tail lights, the darker ones are the new ones. alot darker than my stock ones, yet just as bright at night & w/ turn sigs and whatnot.

The intake, well, the things one must do because of the MAF hardest part will be making a good seal between the filter & inner panel, & filter& the elbow piece.

 

Not bad, looks kinda like my idea. I used different material. However, with the space we have, I belive all of us route the CAI to either the right side, or under the car. So whos to complain??

 

hello i have an 85 2.8 too, and i have two questions , How did you do this..what material? and how much does it increase performance?

 

I'll give ya p/n and $ figures in a couple hours

 

Thanks

 

Hey Project: 85 2.8 bird.

How wide are your rims on your Grand Prix GT?
I was told they were 16x5.5. That can't be right!
How does it drive?

Intake:

3"X5' pvc pipe 5.43
3" 45* pvc street elbow 2.20
4"-3" flex dwnspout adapt 9.33 for 3, or 3.11 each
3" vent elbow 4.89

have only used 1 of the flex adapters, will return those & the 45* elbow & get another 45* elbow w/the two big ends. new idea brewin.


Grand Prix GT: I belive I have 225-60R16 on all four corners. wheels should be slightly bigger than 16X5.5

and yes, it handles & drives schweeeeeeeeet!!!!! :hail:

 

did the cut out for the intake:
Holy rusted metal, Batman

also did a mod on the flex tubing.......put a 9-10" peice of pvc tube in it just after the 45* piece, now it looks gay, but is smooth inside up to about 2" before the tb. should give it that extra umph!!

 

Sweet! I like the air filter placement, that's almost how mine is. 'Cept, I routed my flex air hose thru the inside of the fender, and below that battery tray. Did you see how your setup allows for a ram air? I tried to put it into words here: https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=118843

 

finally broke down & read the post. I think mine is better than everyone elses for 1 reason: Free K&N filter . As far as the cable to raise the air dam cover, maybe use one of those manual carburator choke cables. I'm thinking of removing that plastic thing on the bottom of the bumper support & put a scoop* of some sort to direct air. maybe like Karls.

* making sure not to take too much air flow from radiator
