Re: 7th + 8th August, DIY Day in Toowoomba

I am trying to understand it all, but I do law, dusiness development and marketing, not applied mechanics... Why it's so complex to get air into the car is beyond my current understanding (which sits at, "Air goes in, air gets hot, air and fuel go boom, things inside spin around, air goes out). ....

Will it actually get a few more horses from the engine, make it run any better, or is it pointless until I am ready to do a decent upgrade of several bits?

Ok the basics the engine will run the best with little or no restriction and the colder the better.
Well I think I will be making some cold air induction kits very soon.

Re: 7th + 8th August, DIY Day in Toowoomba
well omg looks like everyone wants a million things done haha
I THINK, we should make a bit of a rule if this is the case that everyone can have 2 things done or maybe we will just do 1 for everyone and then if we have time left we go through and try get another thing done.. Cause apparently there is only enough room to work on about 4 cars at a time.
