tooter's manifold adventure...

Backtracking triples the cost of any project because of you're adding two more cost layers of undoing and redoing.

More expensive, yes - triple, no. It's never 100% undo and redo, if the original idea was sound at all.

Giving up on an idea is a total loss though, I do know that one! For example, if the intake manifold causes a loss in power, I wouldn't bring it to market.

A nice Corolla engine. Hope mine looks half as nice...

Hey Garm,

You're right. That was a little hyperbolic just for a manifold. I work in construction where the triple rule is more of a reality.

By the way how are your manifolds progressing? I just started and I'm a totally inexperienced amateur, so you had better not let me get a manifold on my car before you get one on yours.

But I bet yours will work better than my junkyard special...
