err tapping for what? temp or vac or somethin?
shoulda jumped on the autotecnica on boost thats a good seat and had rails. ah well. depends on the shapoe of the seat as to how you would make the rails. but the idea is to make an adaptor plate to bolt the gem rails up to the seat. that way you still have the forward and back seat adjustment.

temp gauges please. if you dont have to do homework.

i was just gonna leave it in the one place cause im the only one who will be driving it anyways. can i take the rails off the standard and mod the saas?

im gonna put thin profiles on the front and bigger one on the rear so it sticks up :D

Cant just tap a thread while you're over here. should take manifold off, tap it, put it back in. Remember you're also gonna have to mount it again when you put the twins on as the manifold is different.
It'll be easier to use standard rails anyway so might as well. you cant really modify the seat to suit if it has no rails at all, you'll need to make a plate for it.

yeah ill wait for the downs. can i put them on the g161? want more power. 2 birds with 1 stone. will it be hard to do?

what sort of plate? how big?

might ask the bloke for a quote for the exhaust. you reckon 2.5in all the way with 1 muffler? in the middle somewhere so it looks all the way through?

I could recommend something for your exhaust, but seriously go talk to Andy at TPL about it and he will steer you down the right path. He knows his s*#t!
nice pic by the way :P
you could put the downs on the g161 if ya wanted, they'd be way too big for it and it'd be boggey as all hell down low. But would be quicker up top. probably not worth it with teh auto and everything though. but you can definately do it
I dunno how big the plate has to be without seeing the seat.
