I hope you don't keep the AST uncovered even when you are not driving.

Keep the little critters from getting into your coolant system.

It is not as hard as you would think to remove and replace the uim, and throttle body.

Looks great!

The throttle body is not that hard to remove however you want to make sure you don't break the seal that connects it to the UIM. Just be careful and remember how it goes back together.

I charged him $300 to do both and It took me a week to turn it around.
I'm not set up to just shoot these things out so It takes me a while to do it. I'm not the cheapest but I do good work.

Rikki do you still have the close up pics we took of Robs UIM on the 4th of July before I shipped them back? If so could you get Danny to post them here.
Rob the bay is looking good. Thanks again forthe wing. It's being painted w/ the car right now. I should have my car back in 2 days.
Still coming up?
