Congrats tom! Your car looks beautiful. You've paved the way for many of us member's looking to obtain higher hp, as well as many other performance mods, keep up the good work and thanks!

I don't care for silvers, what an ugly color :p.

Can't wait to shoot it.


(with a camera of course)

Re: Shadow Machine Update
 

It's a shame you Jersey guys have to have a license plate on the front. That beat up thing looks kind of wrong on the front of that SVX.

Re: Shadow Machine Update
 

I took mine off anyway :)

I do not run one on my Claret

Edit: Then again, I rarely run my Claret.

Re: Shadow Machine Update
 

Same here, I actually had the bracket holes in the front bumper filled in...

Re: Shadow Machine Update
 

Yea, I know... But if I were to remove it, that would only make one more reason to get in trouble... And I don't need any more of those:lol::lol:

time for the winter slumber... I have removed my s/c and installed a gutted stock intake. I will be having the manifold, t/b adapter, and all other components powder coated over the winter.

Re: Shadow Machine Update
 

Yawn... Spring time means its time to stretch the legs of the SVX again... Some new custom parts have been made and installed. Will be dyno tuning it this spring as well... Stay tuned;)

I really like how the intake turned out.

Re: Shadow Machine Update
 

I posted a couple as well in the Reading pic upload thread. Not as good as yours though, Marisa.

Hey Tom, I thik I've come up with a way to help you keep your "spider" covered in stock sheetmetal.

Cut along the recessed area of a hood, stopping at the end of the crease. Then, cut the part out that slopes down to the center. Take the two resulting pieces, swap them out. Then the slopes will be up, rather than down. You'll have the world's first "stock" cowl induction hood. It's guaranteed to match factory lines.

This would be a lot of work, most of it tedious, but the results could be spectacular.
