76019, Finally, I installed my ARD mani and TB...
Posted by jdpilot, Jun-12-04 03:38 PM
All went smooth! I blocked off the EGR while I was at it too. The manifold was jerseystyles, so it has a nice external polish as well (done by SM Polishing) so it matches my polished valve cover and hayame dress up kit nicely :) ARD did a great job on the runners, though it took FOREVER. And the new plate on the 57 mm was machined perfectly! No issues with the install at all. I am actually starting to enjoy working on the 2gnt again! Can't wait to take her on the road. She just needs a registration. I haven't had her on the road since 2002. This week she rides again!

It took almost a year for me to get my intake manifold back. They did an awesome job but it took a LITTLE too long for me. I will have it installed sometime this week...

I'm getting a ton of stuff done by John @ Dark Enhancement. His stuff is raw IMO. He's also doing some headwork for me.... If any of you want his contact info, let me know.

Well, I just registered her and took her for a test spin with the manifold and TB. Definately more throttle response is felt throughout and feels a tad bit quicker. However, shes still an automatic and a pig in 1 st gear and lower rpms 2nd. I was having great fun until a grand am GT pulled up next to me and blew my doors off :) Oh, well, it is a v6 domestic after all, I am looking to kill honduhs >). Great mod. Now to get my UDP on this weekend!!!
