CT Header install!

well i finally scored some CT headers. ross came over over and we tackled it yesterday after work.

love working in the parking lot


tons of hot women poured out of next door. some were then blindfolded and stuffed into cars. i offered to also be blindfolded and stuff into the car with them but they declined.


damn rear shield bolt wasn't happy with the crappy 12pt socket. had to break out the dremel.


compare..




poor ross was on the bottom for removing the J pipe

ya a lift and air tools would be nice but i can get the job done with what i have. now having my own garage would be the best.
the car runs great! the power is noticeable all the way through the gears.
