Wow man nice as usual! Wonder how those would fit in a 3B or AAN cover now that I have both

well crap. just talked to nate and he said i'll have to reconfigure my IIc to run these, and it's not worth it..... *breaks out the spare valve cover* :roll:

Wow, looking great man. I've been wanting to do something along the lines of your intake mani for a while now.

That to bad you can't run those. I have 8 red coils off of a 2004 Audi S4 I was hoping to run... damn... :(

The pencil coil packs from the 3.2 VR6 are pretty skinny, they might go in without machining the VC. Just a guess.

you can still run them with a bit of change to your IIc setup

Derek, my man, when are we going to see those reupholstered seats with the red perforated leather? :-D

I have been itching to see them and its kind of getting under my skin the same way you wait on an airplane to take off. :frustrated:

i'm still waiting on the rear seat and all the door cards to be finished. also, i'm not putting the interior in until i'm done with the fabrication and such so i'm not in and out of the car with dirty clothes.

Those coils have a built in POS I believe, out of the box the IIc is designed to run the coils without a POS built in.

Alright that sounds like a good plan. Now how about that dash, did you finishing covering it?

Posted: **Wed Oct 07, 2009 10:09 am**

there's some black alcantara to cover the dash up... just haven't gotten to that either

stupid holes i dig.

last night i welded a couple stands on the top of the IM to hold the rings. i'll likely shorten them a bit. the reason i did this is because unless i weld it all the way around onto the plenum, there is a space between them to trap dirt and moisture and breed corrosion and ugliness. this setup should be easier to clean in the long run.

annnnnddddd, this morning a very nice piece of special design I requested showed up for me that Hank made 8)

Sweet, the rings would look good only 1/8" or so above the IM. Leave just enough room to get a cleaning tool under there.

Posted: **Wed Oct 07, 2009 10:23 am**

Looks good Derek.

Posted: **Wed Oct 07, 2009 10:24 am**

:stupid: yeah closer to the IM surface the better, otherwise fuel rail looks sharp, its really coming together

mmmmmm ooooooh aaaahhhhhh sexy alcant dash

For coils You can also look into running Chrysler 300M. This company has been making kits for the DSM and Evo community.

http://www.sparktechignitions.net/store/

They don't make any thing for your car but it gives you a idea of how well the coils work.

Posted: **Wed Oct 07, 2009 6:56 pm**

cool! i actually have a coil here from one of the 2.7 chryslers...

Posted: **Wed Oct 07, 2009 6:59 pm**

Derek what happened?

You went all crazy.....

What's with the 4 rings and the text in the fuel rail, they look awful (sorry) You might as well get some Kanjiand pink neon and a lot of that yellow wire wrap on there.

I love the fabrication and Idea on teh 4 rings but the end result is just wrong IMHO.

I always loved your stuff due to the super clean, semi factory look.

Whatever drugs you took recently, please give them back to the Honda people who gave them to you and get back on your regular meds

(Sorry again)

^^^I'm with him^^^

I looked at that on the other page and said "what??". It's not the clean KISS work you normally do. I'm kinda disappointed. Everyone on here knows what engine that is..... No need to write that crap on the fuel rail.

wait until you see my purple underglow kit and neon yellow split loom kit i got installed :roll:

I had assumed all along that the rings would have been rosette welded directly to the IM, then the rosette welds would be ground smooth for a sort of Audi Sport look.

my aluminum welding capability isn't 10 or 20 years worth, so the reason i put the stands on was to put the screws in was a practicality standpoint, not a looks preference, and it wasn't my idea all along to do it this way. i would love for the rings to be part of the plenum, but not possible.

i may change my mind about how to mount the rings in the end... its just metal

if anyone is a super awesome tig welder and wants to weld the rings on with super clean beads, lemme know, i'll take ya up on putting the rings on flush

Flush it would look awesome. you could epoxy them on and then wrinkle powder coat it to match the rocker cover. That would be nice and not so er ...Honda
