Wayne Huxford Macbilt 22b replica

Does anyone happen to have pics of the engine bay? Al told me the intake manifold on it gained 70 hp over stock without any other changes... he couldn't remember the name of the company that makes them though... just that they are in chch.

 

oh,  found one already, and on here. https://s83.photobucket.com/user/hayden67/media/20150805_170721.jpg.html

Many years ago (when his memory was probably better!) Al told me that was made by Rob at Race Fab

Yeah he certainly does (I have basically his full range on my car). His Evo bits are very popular all over the world with plenty of time attack teams, and has built up a pretty solid reputation for it.

Do you know if the 22b had his subframes as well or did macbilt make them?

As far as I am aware, the rear subframe was made by Macbilt. From memory, the front subframe is/was a modified standard one (pick-up points changed) - I have some photos somewhere from about 8-9 years ago I can dig out if you like?

No that's cool thanks Tony. I was just curious about the intake mainly... I had a good look underneath it on a few occassions when it was up on the hoist at macbilt. Very cool car... would love all the nice subframes and adjustable arbs one day.

That would be great, I heard it was black and covered in carbon fibre now... is that true?

 

Apologies for not letting you know about the pins etc... i just raided pick a part in the end.
