I'm the friend. My commute is about 55 miles per day, so I'm really looking forward to getting at least double the MPG that my current car gets

And it's in my garage!![]() ![]() The plan is to look it over, finish reading this thread, plan an intake / exhaust, mount / tune the MS3, and generally work with Jason to get it on the road. |

lol! Nope, the winglike thing is part of my gutters that came down when we had those high winds. The car under the tarp is my 1987 Supra Turbo, which is my low mileage / high performance project. It needs a lot of front end work due to a Kia that thought it could make a sudden turn in front of me... Back on topic, I had a little time this weekend to look at the XFi and I'm starting to design the warm / cold intake in my head... if anyone has suggestions on how to design one, this week would be an excellent time to share them! |

My thought is that the hot\cold intake can be installed on top of the header, with a metal flap that is vacuum actuated w/ a solenoid controlled by one of the MS outputs (hot only during warmup, etc) - I have solenoids I can give you for it. Someone here might have a more concrete or better idea though. I'm thinking you should just slap a filter on it for now to get it going though. |

So, just because I'm kind of confused... Does the car/will the car still belong to Tofuball? Or is freden00 the new owner? I am wondering because of this comment:

In exchange for freden00 doing most of the rest of the work on the car, he gets to be the primary driver, keep it at his house, etc. |
