Spent my Christmas Fiero gift money on a billet Aluminum dress up mount for the Optima Yellow Top:





It fits in the right rear battery tray nicely:

Started a few winter projects on the newest project.

I had been meaning to build a custom sub box located between the seats.
Since I didn't get a table saw from my Christmas list, I thought it was be a great chance to spend time building it with Grandpa Ray in his workshop.

First I took measurements and made a cardboard template.
I read the specs of my 8" sub woofer and it recommend 0.15-.0.5 cubic feet for a sealed box (mine is 0.25 cu.ft.).
It also recommended MDF and I chose 5/8" 1' X 8' shelf for $5 that was in the required 12" width.
It is glued, screwed, sealed, insulated and weights 9 pounds.
Here are the pictures of assembly:















Now I need to decide what type of finish work to do on the box (fiberglass/paint or cover it with carpet, vinyl, cloth)
Suggestions are always welcome

Nice bling with the cover...

Since the console is not connected, I would consider matching the woofer box to the insert behind the seats.

Either way, the box looks good.

Have you considered going wide body?



Thought I would Hatch it for yah

Another minor winter project I'm working on is porting the intake manifolds to match the heads.
Here are the disassembly pics:

Progress made on the intake porting:









This is step one using carbide bit and drill.
Step two will be with a stone bit.
Step three will be sanding/honing.

Looks good...

I wouldn't bother with the stone. It will just gum up quickly. The sanding rolls will smooth it out nicely. Also, a little roughness breaks up the flow and actually increase flow. Keeps the air from "sticking" to the walls. At least that's how I remember it when porting my TPI intake, plenum, and runners way back when...

Is there an engineering concensus regarding surface roughness to obtain optimum turbulence? I think it might vary depending on the different flow velocities at different engine speeds.
