G'day Dean

Welcome to the club.

I have a G-Force which is an RMC variant, I won't say copy, but there are many similarities. I'm guessing your column will be from a Mistu sigma or colt and you'll probably have a Commodore rack.

Whereabouts are you in Melbourne? I'm in the SE suburbs.

As was sort of said earlier, to strictly stay legit., if you transplant a later model efi motor into the car, all the anti pollution crap should also go with it, so as to maintain emissions compliance.

Given you sound like you are fitting live side pipes I'm guessing this point may be of little consideration but the EPA can get fairly nasty if push ever got to shove!

I've got an AU XR8 donk and have to agree the plenum doesn't do too much for looks. I do like the look of the set up through the link posted earlier re alternate intakes but I need to get to VIN number first - I'm still building.

There are certainly a couple of auto electrician types within the club so rewiring to EFI isn't a problem, particularly the earlier XR8 as you have.

Anyway it is all a matter of personal taste so you go down the track you're happy with and bugger the rest - it's your car!

Cheers
