Polished Evo 8 intake manifold
Though i don't own a evo 8, I am in the middle of a bit of a project. I have a 2002 gs eclipse; doing a evo 8 head swap + precision 6765 turbo and a bunch more. Overall goal is around 600whp. anyways i've kinda looked around on here and hadn't found that anyone got as bored as I did.....
So in my boredem I went ahead and sanded off all those ugly casting marks off the factory intake manifold (evo 8) and polished her up. just wanted to see what ya'll thought.

i'll just make this my build thread i guess lol, i'll post some more pictures when i have it with 2000g, and then after i buff it, but the only hard thing about this is that since it's such a tight space in between all the nooks and crannys, i'm not sure if i'll be ABLE to actually buff this completely. but i will do my best.

looks great. I too are one who is cursed with some boredem. haha. I am in the process of doing mine as well. It is an evo 9 intake manifold that i actually shaved the mounting point for the brakets that hold the tps, map, ect. harness which runs on the top. I will be running it from underneath and and egr delete set up .
