You've heard the saying "a rose by any other name is still a rose" well "ugly by any other name is still ugly"

I just dont think it looks all that horrible. Hell, I cant even tell what kind of car it is. I just appreciate hard work. I should've known I'd need a flamesuit to disagree with the majority. It's ok, I've never been mainstream and never will be. I didn't say it looked great. Just not that bad. Whatever, its not my car...I dont really care.

This is where coolant was designed to flow. Hell, it might actually allow the throttle body to be a little cooler.

He's letting in unmetered MAF air into the TB and into the crankcase.
I think he'd pick up a few HP if he threw both of those breathers away and put the 'ugly' pcv vent hose back on.

Nicely done....but very ugly choice of color combos. Yellow and chrome would have been better. Hell even god awful brown and chrome....just not yellow and brown. 
.......wait.......that could be the new UPS truck.....there you go Mr. Mojo....

I have the stock air filter system with K&N filter in my '91. Does this type of air filter system add, subtract, or simply "beautify" the performance of the car? If it does increase performance what is the name so I can look into it?

There were 6 of them made in 83 and released to the press for demo purposes so that they could write the articles etc
