    Yeah, that's cool. I see that it doesn't have a provision for the IAC. Turn it around, slap the IAC mount on the driver side, you got a winner. People would just need to extend the VAF or MAF wiring a foot or two to reach its new location. Also need a custom bracket for the throttle cable; simple to do. You could sell it as an extra, or included in the price.

    If necessary, I could even do without the IAC. Matt D's custom intake (which I seem to have misplaced) didn't have it. After a couple minutes to warm up, it drove fine. Just make sure it's short enough to close the hood without cutting into the hood supports, like Matt D had to do. Those dimensions might be different for Festy and Aspire.

    Oh BTW I think that is a very fair price point.

    Also, would you consider making a 4-into-2 or 4-into-1 full manifold for a Weber carb?
    Mine seems to warm up fine without the iac. No throttle stimulation needed.

      Key word about..and I'm going to powder coat the emblem for contrast, made to order colors.

        Are they going to be welded together, or epoxy?

          Welded. I have a tig welder now. I'm buying material for all sizes as we speak. Going to have a b3, b6d, and bp intake.

              Does anyone know the relative sizes of the different engines throttle bodies? I'm looking for diameter of the factory intake manifold throttle body opening in mm

                They're all undersized IMO. B6D/T is 50mm. IIRC the BP is 52 or 54mm

                  Adapt a mustang 5.0 tb. Stock tb i believe is 60mm there cheap,and plentiful. Only problem is adapting tps and throttle linkage but shouldn't be a big deal if using stand alone.

                      the opening is 52mm. It necks down to 50mm where the throttle plate actually seals.

                      I've worked with 65mm mustang Tb's, they're a bit tricky to adapt. I had intended to check out some of the Honda throttles because of aftermarket options

                        I could literally make a manifold for any tb imaginable. But it really requires the tps hookup if running stock. Id hope anyone running a bigger tb is using ms though

                            Hey Tom, you were wanting an aspire intake first right? I'm probably going to do that first this weekend. One for my aspire, one for yours. You still interested?

                                I might need a b6t intake depending on the turn around time. I'm having trouble fitting the miata intake.
