My radiators posts aren't sitting on factory rubber. They're cut up pieces of an energy suspension kit, queerbait.

Just a couple big squares of it. You'll see in the pics to come. I'll put my shoes on and do some non-drunken Sunday morning pics.

When I first read your post I thought about that SNL Digital Short "Lazy Sunday" O0

The shuttle's looking pretty nice now, more than basically just the shell it was last time I was up there.

also, isn't that o2 bung a little close for wideband sensor? I've always been told to put it 20" away from the turbine for longevity.. can't source any reliable citation for that though :l

I'm not sure what's not to like about the wastegate. With so many manifolds putting up like a trophy, or sticking out of somewhere, I like the tight fit of where it is. The downpipe has 2 O2 bungs. One you see, and one sitting on the back of it just before the crossmember.

Yeah after all that work, at least go OEM with the headlights. It's too clean-looking so far to ruin it with those.

Glad to hear you have your priorities straight.
