I’ve got my next mod planned out already! First off, I finally got my fender on and painted, and new lights installed... the bracket needs replaced, as it re-broke as i put the fender on...

During my tracking of a misfire I found out that I have(I think but not 100% positive) a faulty injector... I pulled the fuel rail and injectors and intake manifold off my spare L61 parts car and cleaned them up for a condition check(injectors) and install...(btw my injectors have a two hole spray pattern so eventually I’d like to upgrade them for a better type)

I also ported the spare intake manifold, as there were a couple big restrictions that I couldn’t help but alleviate... first, there was something sticking out under where the TB goes(not anymore) and the ports in the manifold(where it meets the head) were a good 2-2.5mm smaller in both height and width, so I enlarged them to nearly match... others who have done this mod have experienced gains of 8-10whp with no loss of low end TQ so I don’t see it hurting mileage much if any...
