Default anyone ever DIY P&P intake manifold??

i remember a while back there was a link to a DIY site....but i dont remember what the site was.....any one know???

i got bored today while sitting in the garage and decided to start grinding.....i know that your supposed get a bendable neck for the dremel to get inside the inlet tubes, but how do you know if youve got it all????
i have most of the upper section done, other then inside the tubes...and i still have to cut the two humps in the bottom section and the one divider out and then maybe early next week it will be ready to install....

and i still need to get a micrometer so that i can port-match the intake tubes to the head.....and then start grinding the head

intake mods are some of the best mods for the dohc. with a nice port and polish job, header, nice TB and a CAI that doesn't suck up warm/hot air the neon will breathe real good.

The DOHC breathes well in it's stock formation, but it has so much more potential its crazy!
