passenger side in place!:


and the best for last... the ever-so-beautiful collectors hanging down. Lost ground clearance = badass!



if all goes as planned ill be lighting her up tomorrow with open headers. My OTVC plug wires havent arrived yet so i just left the stockers in, and i plan to run them temporarily. If i burn one, i dont give a sh!t they were going in the trash anyway. So anyway, i see the light at the end of the tunnel Just gotta toss some emission fittings back on, and replace all the misc stuff that i removed to get out of my way.

i know the feeling man, ive wanted em SO bad since i bought the car way back in '03. youll get em eventually

[Keego Ridah]

i had the money for them recently actually but then a bunch of shit came up, so then i just bought a SLP and SLP MAF, But pacesetter LT's are next on my list or ASP pulleys

[Keego Ridah]

SLP lid and SLP MAF

[JoeliusZ28]

forget the pulleys, you wont get a fraction of the gain from those you get from headers. jmo

[Keego Ridah]

wow looks sweet Joel. Be careful running open headers as I hear it messes up the O2 sensors bad due to all of the fresh air, which is why most people run short extensions off of the collectors. Its gonna sounds so bad ass though, video please.

im not even going to connect the 02 sensors until i get my y-pipe made up.... just let it run open loop (really rich). the new coating can ruin them also. Dont worry, there will be a video posted here tonight if she fires up
