^which is exactly what I was gunna suggest =P the '86 filler neck is fairly cheap and it's a pretty fail-safe mod once you bleed the system..

Rx7Rage-Looks great Gene. A little tab can be welded on the intercooler for your AST in the front left side of the engine bay around the primary intake looks like.
Othe then that that **** looks SexY. Great Job Gene.

BTW no more AC i guess????

Those are both excellent ideas. I like having the ast so I might have a bracket welded on like you said Mikey.

Yes, I eliminated the ac condenser and that can thingy in the front...saved about 5 lbs or so.

Gene. Now you need that efini y pipe (then polish it), HKS RS Intakes, Ducting for your VMIC, and a polish on the VMIC.
