Moving on to the header removal. Okay let’s just say this design worked perfectly as it was a 20 minute job to remove them.









When they go back in there will be ARP Header Studs going back in.

Just a quick shot of the Powder Coated rear end. Need to take inventory of all the hardware and order the new ARP 6 point stainless bolts and new EBC rotors in black.

So the header are back from getting coated and the down tubes are wrapped in DEI Ti Thermal wrap. I also added studs to make it even easier to install the headers which takes all of 10 minutes for both sides.

Still updating the factory hardware to ARP or hardware from the guys at Totally Stainless.





Of course the inner fender is in the way. However since they are fiberglass/Carbon that is easily solved.

While I was working on the car I decided I needed to make a down and dirty hood prop as my hood kept falling on me.

Thank goodness for PVC pipe and a dremel.



I wrapped it in red electrical tape so I would remember to remove it. Plus it adds a little friction as it snaps over the shock rod nicely now.

Are the hood struts worn out or did they never work great to begin with?
