By the way, am i the only person to notice the difference with the new intake. I seem to have alot more throttle response now then i did before. Or is it just me??? :oops:


Nar mate, your not alone. I wouldn't say i have more power, but it definatly pulls harder up high in the rev range, doens't seem to run out of puff after 4000-4500rpm now. Seems to rev cleaner right through the rev range :)

These are scratches caused by the hole I had to cut in the bonnet AFTER I had covered the intake with vaseline to see where it rubbed. The third scratch on the far right is the latest to appear. Its like the intake is shifting!

:?

Anyone with one painted it?

If so how'd it go?

I'd be looking at painting one body colour.

Ride: EFII Fairmont

Location: Perth
WA, Australia

I have finally installed mine. It took 30 minutes, I took my time as I had some kinda loose screws on my intake manifold at the base of number 5 and 6 cylinders.
But the intake, she lined up perfectly all round so I want to thank personally everyone at Falparts and everyone involved in creating this intake. For modeling it, and measuring it exactly based on my particular EF Fairmont. I think you'll find that all 30, were based on the measurements of my car, and all would fit my car perfectly :wink:
Nothing was bent in the making of this story :roll:

Although like everyone else's, the back edges of the top of the intake does touch the bonnet sound proofing. I have driven it and started it cold (rougher start), and still bare no scratches. But I think, even the old EL intake touched the sound deadener in that area, not much that I can see, that can be done about it. Pictures to come 8-)

or they are for sale at rare spares, and of course ebay but they never give sizes :(
