Hmmm, don't know about that. I didn't see anything on the parts list that looks like what you are talking about. I did not do the work myself. Luckily the guy at the body shop who did it has an Evo that I sold him with a Veilside kit that he installed - so the car was in good hands. They gave me the impression that it wasn't as easy or plug 'n play like I suggested, but perhaps that is just idle chatter because their shop was so backed up - dunno.

Ha ha, no. I was just running out of light and did not use a flash on those last pics. The car is still Wicked White.

Yeah, the only one I know of is a red MR that I sold. I don't know if he is on here or not. It will be good to have the different look around the Salty Ham.

looking good.

Looking good David. Glad you got it fixed and glad I stumbled across the thread to see it.

I am still looking for the little round plugs to each side of the intercooler. Murphy only got one in before going bye bye. Do you know the part numbers on those?

Later.
