Lightbulb N/As need love too...

Turbos just completely take over all 944 picture threads and I'm really curious to see what people in the N/A crowd are doing. Post the best ones you've seen...

Thanks.

I am still getting it right by experimentation. Fortunately it costs me about $40.00 to make one and takes me a couple of hours so experimentation is not too painful.

The splitter in that picture quickly broke. I made another one with a bullnosed edge and Herculinered it. It has been very durable. I also had to angle it down in front a little. I have a small list of things I will do differently on the next one.

HA... I have both too, but opposite I have more pictures of the turbo than NA, both are my babies, and I have been known to say my NA is an absolute joy to drive, and is everything the turbo isn't.. where as teh turbo is everything the NA isn't... bith are fun, the NA is relaxing, the turbo is an angry kid looking to pick a fight!

do i get to play? my n/a is faster than a turbo in a straight line, but a turbo still brakes (but doesn't break) faster and corners better!

N/A FTW!!!

Great pics. Keep them coming. What type of performance things are going on with some of these N/As?
