The reservoir is a Yamaha Razz/Riva oil tank. ( http://motors.shop.ebay.com/_Motorcy...1QQ_trksidZm38 )

I got the idea from this RX7 thread

Mine was used and I cleaned it up. Since I wanted to use the Odyssey Extreme Racing 30 battery, I had to cut part of the wall of the tray out, and the hole on the end for the nipple.

That sure is one sexy lower intake manifold.

Get two more plug wire separators - one for the rears and one for the fronts. Plug wires with that strong coil behind it are too close together.

It looks lower in the rear doesn't it? I'm going to get another set of bigger stands for the rear before I go under there.

I think I will support the rear tires to take advantage of the e-brake.

After all of this, how can you possibly still be on the stock cat?

Also, dead sexy

More stable on 4 jack stands...

Don't think the e-brake will do much on the ramps

Getting excited yet

WOW, that engine is looking sexy. That's what I call some bling! did you get it dipped?

I think it would be more stable on 4 jack stands.

Also, you mentioned the headlights were getting a makeover, what are you doing with them?

The stock cat only has 25K on it. I went through three different mid-pipes trying to find what I liked. Currently waiting on Ray to get his resonator to the market.

Plans fell through a bit - could not fund the halo eyes I wanted, so I'm just going to clean and do some LED blue running lights, and Hoen HE Gas charged high beams.

The intake is aluminum plated in a vacuum chamber.
