Is that a Hytech Header?!

nordic97mist · 07-05-2009, 01:33 PM

a hytech replica. i put it on almost a month ago and the next day the automatic went out. it wont be on there much longer though. around dec/jan itll be gone and will be replaced

You're gonna love that PSPEC. Best thing I've done on the car yet

nordic97mist · 07-05-2009, 02:05 PM

How did you like it? if you actually got to test it out the day before.

I take it you will be selling.. How did the install go for the header?

Just thought I'd throw this up. I've never seen a package deal to help with the swap that was this complete.

Started off the day with something easy to get my confidence up lol. Manual clusters look so much better

Worked on the engine more. About the only thing left is the axles and a couple more wires and shes ready to come out

nordic97mist · 07-26-2009, 12:03 PM

fastkill · 07-31-2009, 12:09 AM

i wish i had a damn garage

nordic97mist · 08-01-2009, 06:57 PM

Yeah it comes in handy alot

And some work from today...finally lol

Its sitting on an engine stand with the lift hovering just incase. I like to be safe with this. Next on the list is cleaning the bay and polishing the engine up then swapping

TheyCallMeShoof · 08-02-2009, 08:05 AM

ur the first person i've seen online that's marked their connectors during ur swap.

It looks clean, and i like that ur keeping it clean. Don't forget to break in the clutch, and don't forget to put fluid in the trans

nordic97mist · 08-02-2009, 09:27 AM

Thanks man. Yeah im in a rush to get it done now. It really has to be done by Aug 18th for school. I wanted to try to stay organized. So far everything is going good. I hope it keeps up lol
