Great mods... I'm assuming you did them yourself :cheers: job well done! How hard was it to install the UD pully? Did you need a pully puller or have to remove any other parts like the radiator or steering rack?

Thanks,
B

Actually, I had a friend install them when I was out of Town for a few days. He spent approximately 12 hours on the 2 mods. Yes, he needed a puller and had to remove the steering rack. It is time intensive to say the least...but, well worth it! :yesnod: :cheers:

Those are two excellent mods. What's your impression of how the car feels now?

Congratulations on the mods. :hurray:

I am thinking about getting the TPIS header package with cats, x-pipe, etc. Do you know if this be installed with just a Kwik Lift or do you need to get the car higher up in the air? Thanks.
