It is a lot easier to take the radiator off,and also the downpipe and let it rest on a tressle out of the way.I also took the turbo off by the manifold because It's easier to get to the one bolt on the back of the stock O2 Housing.

It was a pita getting the O2 Sensor bolt loose...

 

Swapped the knock off IX tails that came with the car for some stockers. 8)

 

took the head off. now searching for parts i want.

 

Had a little fun in this Washington rain, car did very well.

Car has been idling rough and occasionally stalling for the past two weeks. After much searching of the Interwebz, last night I decided to replace my MAF. In the process I'd also swap my cleaned and oiled K&N filter in for my dirty HKS mushroom. Which is when I discovered this:



Huh, nothing like a 6cm x 3cm hole in your air filter to make your car run strange.

 

My AC compressor clutch exploded today. It was so loud and the car ran so bad I thought I threw a rod bearing. LOL car is in the shop now.
