Rita called a couple days ago. Actually we called her. She has another surgery coming up end of May I think she said. I hope she gets better soon... :cry:

Hey Shannon. I see what looks to be headers for the turbos. Do those go in the car for a cold box? that seems to be all the rage, but i didnt see the plumbing for it on yours :)

Okay, I am attempting to not look stupid here, but thinking I'm still gonna! There is one piece of plumbing/tubing missing, it goes from the front, middle to the dash area on the right and that will be where the water/ice mixture will be going! So if I am reading your question right, the headers are just headers and the plumbing that existed for the procharger has now been changed to benefit the twins! The piece needs to be fitted under the hood so that is being done last as it will take some finesse to get it all to fit, as I'm sure you all noticed how freaking tight everything is :roll: Apparently I will now have to learn the plug wire order as only my hands will be small enough to take off and put them on :? Dave got his hand stuck putting them on yesterday :oops:

I will pass it on :wink: Those freaking pro jacks are the bomb! No way in hell we could work on this car without them! We lucked out in getting a used set from a friend selling his whole operation 8)

Sure you can. All you have to do is make a small set of wooden ramps. Push the car onto those. Then jack it up about 4 inches and put a taller set of wheel chocks in place. Then go to the back and jack it up about 4 inches and set it on short jack stands. Then go back to the front and jack it up the rest of the way. Then go to the back and jack it up and install jack stands.
Oh I forgot. You have to pull the front end first. :roll: :roll:

DAMN LOW CARS!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
