nice mod list, dj just when you thought a 35k mile FB couldnt get any better.. have you had a chance to mess around with the wideband yet?
Thanks man, I got the bung welded in and a hole cut but not much else. I hope to do some this weekend.

Sorry I only had 3 fingers avaiable for counting... the other 7 were already used in counting the number of mobs that I need to do to the car... yea that's it...

But seriouslly, sorry Merlin! I didn't mean to count you out... You know what? I still don't think I've met you?

Masin, it's too new man. Got to break the car in first! ...litterly and figurtavily... Like Tray said, when you let the car sit for a few months while it waits for parts, or spend like 9K to fix it, or take change the fuel filter, simplyfie the rat's nest, DP install, (or anything listed in the Right of Passage) posted in the 3rd Gen, or maybe after it "wears the new off" then we'll consider you a REAL FD owner. ...or just put your name in the First Names Database for 3rd Genrs thread and be counted.

The studs holding the pre-cat have a tendency to come completely out, or breaking, etc. There's hardly any room to really maneuver the down pipe let allow able to see clearly while trying to line it up with the 4 holes (if they OE studs wont work with your DP) or studs on the turbo housing unless you remove a lots of unrelated stuff. Nothing that's impossible or hard to do, just very time consuming.

And the fuel filter... well let's just say it's in a nearly impossible place to get to. It's hidden between the car body and the differential.

Tray, I thought we were getting along... if you can't pick on friends... then who can you pick on?

Oh and yes I consider you a .3 SA owner!

you have to contact them. i cant remember off the top of my head what the name is. while i was there i asked if they still had the car, and they said it is long gone. check out www.car-part.com that is an awsome site, its where i found the tranny.
