Daox, would you be at all interested/willing to make an intake spacer for the VX? I'd absorb most if not all of the prototype costs. Got a VX coming to me this weekend that I'd love to slap a spacer on for immediate gains!

FYI, the insulators aren't a better fuel economy part, they're an increase horsepower part. If thats what you're looking for, PM me and we can discuss it. |

Looks awesome!
I was in our only local electronics supply store, called 'You-Do-It Electronics', and they are selling (at least) 3 different 3D printers:
Current Promotions
The lowest priced unit was ~$600, another was $800, and the expensive unit was $2,100, if I remember correctly. |

Damn.
And to think, some idiots just want those printers so they can make things that technically qualify as being guns.
Nice work!

Last night I made up a quick gauge pod for the Metro's new vacuum gauge. I started a new thread for it here:

Looks like you screwed it in using an existing screw hole, is that what I'm seeing?
