Wo, I bet you put down more torque now! Great job! Rotors looking good too. I just ordered a set of slotted rotors with Stainless Steel brake lines. That should help bring things to a stop at CI-7

I did the Earl's braided lines plus Hawk pads and just that small change made a huge difference. Saving up for real brakes hence this small maintenance job now

CI7 will be awesome

Rob, I was in Orlando for 8 days doing Chris' VTEC monster, so he's just returning the favour

Paxton? I have to get a few more things (Evans radiator and waterpump, a couple of parts powdercoated etc.) before I do the install. Probably towards the middle or end of April is my guess.

Technically, adding long tube headers - even with aftermarket cats - is 100% illegal. It is a Federal offense to tamper with any emissions equipment on newer vehicles.






Somehow my airpump, cats, rear O2s, PCV & evap system seems to have fallen off my car
