Altezza Build! - Tosh21 - 22-07-2022
Not quite. Stubs had to be cut out and remade as my ghetto purge kit wasn't quite up to it and some bits ended up undercutting and oxidizing on the inside. Welded new ones in, went to open them to round and they panicked and bulged like mad so had to cut them down. Thought I'd do the collector while I calm down a bit and turns out a collector is also very hard to make. I have 2 and a half nights left to get it fully done and so far I have a 2-1 collector cut and a flange with some oval stubs.
Got a show this weekend so gotta somehow pull a rabbit out the hat cos the pressure is definitely on.

Which show? You going to jae or trax?
Altezza Build! - Tosh21 - 22-07-2022

Gutted mate! I'm sure we could sort something if you wanted to come along with ojc.
There's a few members heading to trax Sunday morning from jae as well

Ha ha ha there a nightmare this is why I gave up an did a log style one in the end there a lot easier an the collector is easier to

Aye I was thinking about it but I think I won't finish the car until the sunday morning
Yea Thought about a log but that's too ghetto for me

Ha ha ha I thought that to but I was pulling my hair out trying to get everything to fit together

To be fair the actual manifold is pretty easy It's just the collector. Got a new tool made to press the stubs into round so hopefully get those 2 bits sorted sorted with a bit of help and get to putting the manifold together.
Going to move the battery to the boot too to free up some space so I can exit out the wing. Gonna be sweeet

Ha ha ha ha yeah my mate did that with his mx5 ended up melting the paint on the wing he had flames popping out of it to

So cut the collector out and it actually came out really nice which is good.

Normally when making a manifold you would mock it all up with stuff you can move and bend easily but I don't have time so was a case of try imagine it and just make it. Took a while at first but finally ended up with this

Now I have all the primaries far enough to the point where I can bring them into eachother to fit the collector. This is where it either goes really well or horribly wrong. Fingers crossed that I'll have a full manifold this time tomorrow
