quoted from WR website: >>Applicants must live in Northern California / Bay Area (Preferred) and be able to leave their vehicle at our facility up to approximately 1 week. Manual Transmission vehicles are preferred when the application allows it. A rental car or boarding will be available to participants that need it.<< Please contact: chris.agloro@weapon-r.com note: i'm not affiliated to this company.
I sent a E-mail out as well, the way I figure it, free stuff is free stuff, and any compay willing to make parts for my car is ""OK"" in my book, so why not help them with a tester Car...
We are currently looking to make the intake for the car and that would not take a week to do, its only going to take about a day or so. We are going to create a new intake and do some tests on the intake to make sure we can get the max amount of power. We always prefer 5spd because its easier to setup on the dyno as well. If you are looking to participate with the development of this intake then please email me. Also if everything works out fine you should be going home with a new intake on the car as well at no charge. Also this intake will not yet carry a CARB EO# but we will be submitting it for approval and its going to take some time.
On my last car, we tested 5 different intakes. The Weapon R was the only one that showed a LOST of horsepower over the stock intake. Free or not, if its not improving the vehicles performance its pointless and worthless.
