Message	I was one of the lucky few to get my hands on a set of pre-production Mike Smith cast manifolds. I've been waiting for months for these things to put my car back together and this is one of the reasons I'll be taking the 350z to Zcon instead of the z32 (or both). I wanted these bad and didn't want to have to pull the motor a second time to install them. I figured missing ZCON and having these was worth it. They came in about a week and a half ago and since I was out of town on business I didn't get a chance to post about these till now. I don't know when these will be readily available but for those attending ZCON and want to see them in person, please find me in my blue 03 350Z with the SPL Parts decals. Thanks go out to Mike Smith himself for such a quality product and to Mr Leader(of Leader Gear fame) for putting in a good word for me with Mr Smith. I cannot wait to install these puppies and get the car runing again-it's been over a year since I've driven it last. The manifolds are a work of art. They appear to be hand ported in several spots and I'm surprised how smooth the runners are in places. Mike did an amazing job on these. I got the version without the EGR. Ok, on to the pics... I need go get these installed into this and put back into this And here are few pics of the 350z I quickly washed and waxed tonight. Find this car and you've found the manifolds... Pic of the Stoptechs that Kuah hooked me up with after I caught the stockers on fire at TWS. Now I have matching Stoptechs on both Z's. I'll be heading to Dallas tomorrow evening. See you guys there. Hope it doesn't rain for MSR!
