Nice Nice... but it is not the same without Dieso popping out of the engine bay .

Hope the car wont sit in the garage too long, so you will be able to enjoy the car for the rest of the season (I'd hate to see you be tortured agin like when you were doing the blower setup )

also have you considered a wheelie bar and a chute

How was that color applied to the manifold? Is it plastic?

And there is nothing wrong with yellow.
