[s-cars] Hole in Cross-over Tube

[Emre Washburn]

I recently bought the entire kit, sans the metal tube (because I have
a 92 with stock metal tube). Fast shipping, fast e-mail, and the CNC
work on the injector cover was flawless, and looked like art. When I
had bought it, they were all being offered at an initial price of half
the buy it now price, apparently a sale.
