I'm not really diggin the blue intake that much since your car is green but if you're going to paint it blue it wont be bad. Congrats on getting the car running good... Now go out and show your brother whos car is faster

Did you paint the intake with it on the car? All the bolt tips and everything is blue.

Oh and did you see the two page thread about how sexy and fast your car is?

The rockers get loud because the oil gets hot and thins out and the lifters get "soft". Run a 10W30 (minimum) or heavier oil and it should go away.

It's a nice blue, but why did you paint it on the car if you had it off to begin with?

painting your car white would look so bad ass with that color intake. might be a little more expensive so save up.

ps, i painted my intake yesterday and it came out bad ass. i primed it, then gave it 3 coats of black and 2 coats of clear. now all i need is a small brush to paint the plaque red.
