Default Intake. Has. A. Hole.

Well.. found out why my car won't ******* idle. Apparently there was a decent size crack in the back bottom of the intake. Right below the map sensor. It must have progessively gotten worse each time we've tried to run the car... because now its turned into a large hole. Pulled the intake off this morning and found this.

Apparently when those ******** that stole my parts gave them back.. they decided to give it a little crack *******'s.

I have an old ls1 intake I can throw on it.. will it run well? Just be down on power with the ls1? Car is tuned for ls6 I know.. but how much of a difference will it make in the way the car runs?

Until I can afford another ls6 will it be alright to run the ls1 for a month or two?

We looked and looked. The crack was right under the map sensor where the circle seal **** is put, so its almost hardly noticeable.. until I pulled the intake off this morning and what do I see? a giant hole

I am just giving you ****. We would have used your trick if we coudl have gotten it to run steady for a little bit.

My IAC is all fuxored.. and its closed all the time. so the car really won't even run now... got to fix that up, have the brakes bled and adjust the clutch then it should be good to go.

Going to be sad when a car built by a 17 year old.. Craig.. outruns your **** isn't it grandpa?

Good luck with your ****, hope it runs one day, my life consists of so much more than what my car runs and how I drive it I could see it being the most important thing in life to you and you acting like such a pissant, from what I can see you have no other purpose in life. And I am glad Craig was there to save you *** since you basically sux as a tech/mechanic. I am sure we will catch up at the track this year at some point. Good luck with your car.
