Why do you look like your riding sooo high?

both sides are on jack stands.

i ordered some coilovers and headers with the money i saved. Now i need to ask a shop about doing the rest of the exhaust system. My friend was telling me about how some exhaust sound amazing on 6-bangers, but when you put them on a 4-banger, they are rice.

I dressed up my engine just because I saw Jordan's thread. Cheap if you go to ace or home depot.

header before it heated up

Nice! Looks great. Little things always make the biggest difference to me.

 

[festetech]

I only bought ten of them. I should make a stop at home depot this weekend and finish the project. I'm thinking about cleaning my engine bay out. I heard 3 cans of engine degreaser and a pressure hose. Wrap the intakes and cover the distributor and don't pressure wash the radiator directly.

The car is running after replacing the clutch. I had a ball joint thread go bad.
I have a small leak in the exhaust where the A pipe connects to the down pipe. I think that's the wording. i couldn't pull the down pipe far enough up. I think i'll take it to bucky's next week.
feels good driving again

Figure out that rattle? If not its probably your heat shield on the cat. I've had 2 do that (including my current dc).

 

[festetech]

The rattle, issue long past, was the heat shield. Now I'm having issues of the exhaust leaking just a little bit.

just find a car wash with a degreaser and get after it!

 

[festetech]

I found a shop that will line up my header for $50 And give me a manual cluster! Till then today they sold me some neew seats

The back seats "holding" metal doesn't line up.
