Re: [xj-s] custom intakes creation

[John Napoli <jgn@li.net>]

Please do it, and then sell us copies!

Make them longer -- maybe crisscrossed over the top -- or use more of the
space available on the sides of the engine by relocating the air filters
to in front of the rediator.

Make them equal length and polished.

Vacuum connections should be hidden in the valley.

Don't worry about room for the cruise control -- real men don't need 'em
in an XJ-S.  No reason why the coil couldn't be moved, too.  Forget about
the air injection, too.  THe fuel rail could be modified as needed for
clearance OR to move the regulators and their hoses to a more acceptable
location.

Add provision for twin throttle butterflies on each side for a real home
run.

When will a set be ready <grin>?
