You look different than what I thought you'd look like.

nice progress.

I really hate waiting for parts, especially parts that are on backorder

I'm wearing my s**t clothes and haven't showered in 2 days . Normally I don't look like s**t like I do in the pic I posted .

nice progress.

Haha :. I just can't wait for more s**t to come in. Definitely psyched about getting the sway bar in. Wanna see how much of a difference it makes in handling. I know I won't expect a lot but I'm sure on top of shocks and springs, my car will handle MUCH better.

Looketh good.

Nice bro

f**king finally!

 

[JohnS.]

Thanks .

Only problem is is that the gasket between the new header / cat is too big. I used the gasket Megan Racing give me. I gotta go back under the car sometime this week and switch the gasket back to the OEM one to get a better seal. Leaks a little bit and I tightened that b***h HARD.

Small updates:
- Got 4 new LCA bolts from the dealership today (and other misc nuts / bolts for other rusted stuff). Gonna go back and get 2 more. I guess the guy mis-heard me when I asked for 6. Didn't check the bag full of parts til I got home .
- Put in an order for 4 new d-bracket bolts too for the sway bar. He said they should be in in 1-2 days so I'll have to pick em up at the dealer later on
- Shocks should be coming in today (will get pics up when they come in)

I'm lovin it over my cheapo eBay one I bought. The eBay one was shitty material, didn't even have the slits cut at the bottom of the boot to hook onto the bracket... It was just shitty quality and turned out ugly. I LOVE this OEM one .

I'm so excited I unwrapped the baggies and put all the hardware on the shocks including the new LCA bolts . Can't wait to get all my s**t in.

 

[Jbuck2KCivic]

Yeah you're getting s**t in everyday......and I'm here still waiting for stuff. haha

 

[enycesam]

Nice! Waiting for pics of the other stuff that's gonna go in.

so you put your greasy finger prints all over the manifold then installed it and cranked it up right? now youve got perma-burned on stains all over the manifold? j/p



btw we got the same shocks w00t

 

[Evan.]

I wiped the header down with a clean shop towel before I wrapped that install up. Too bad after running for 1 day, it's permanently discolored . Only reason why I didn't want to go SS. It sure as hell looks cool but the original SS shine looks so much better for a "clean" look IMHO.

Yeah I think that was when I buzzed my hair to a 1. That was my first time ever buzzing my hair that short. I look like a f**king chipmunk . Never doing it again. My parents / brother tell me I look like some sort of gang member or punk .

Bagh I want my springs to come in so I can get it all installed. Local kid I've sold a few things to in the past said he'd do all 3 parts for $140 .
