joel, check with wesbeech. he sells one ready-made for the 7m. akito, don't know how yours was routed unless it was up front. i've got mine in the rear position, and it's turned 180 degrees right now so it has almost an inch of clearance on either side of runners 3 and 4 (directly below the...

what was the model #, if you still remember? and was that an entire tube/stick assembly that pressed into the block?

Duane, how custom was your dipstick? I know wesbeech is making one, but didnt know if you were using that one or one of your own. george, what do you mean by the dipstick tube being ahead of the oil filter? as in not the same routing as mine?

I've had to rotate my dipstick tube 90° counterclockwise to clear the new manifold, but now the dipstick runs through runners 2 and 3, rubbing on 3. Can I bend the dipstick to clear the runners without touching, or will the heat hurt the dipstick handle/seal or other parts? I'm either going to...

hey its done! got the oxygen sensor bung welded on yesterday, finished welding the runners to the flange yesterday and today and got the last length cut and adjusted. not happy about that last part, but it was the cleanest way to get around the trans brace. ill grab some more pictures...

any issues with only using the exhaust from three cylinders vs six? im guessing it won't be as accurate but still pass for its intended purpose.

Getting ready to put this pacesetter header on and I'm going to aim for putting the oxygen sensor on the back 3 collector (red dot) so its wire is facing towards the firewall. Is it possible to extend the wire with a butt splice or bullet connector and run it around the charcoal canister and...

almost looks like the start of another hommer project, doesn't it? don't you worry, i'll hack up a few pieces and show you how to make a real angle :D

alright! more progress made tonight. found the bend that i needed and a flange/gasket and saved me a ton of time with the welder and saw :) plus it looks pretty good. got the y pipe cut and ground, and got the holes drilled to 1/2" (and adjusted one with the die grinder). didn't get any...

IJ - not the entire mandrel bender, a 2.5" piece with a 45° and a 180° (sorry if I misled you) - www.performance-curve.com

haha, did some calling around and looking on the internet, found a combo mandrel bend that'll do nicely. just saved myself a ton of work and the indignity of using my homemade miter box :D pics tonight!

if we're going for accuracy here, it turns the whole engine into a mess :D

paint :D

anybody have a better way to bend it without crimping?

finally found some time to work on the car tonight. going to take a pacesetter header and make it full 2.5" from the collectors to the cat. first off, made a miter box for the sawzall (never ordered the metal bandsaw, ugh). nobody around here mandrel bends pipe so i'll have to cut the angles...

i loved world war z. add to my list - ecsta spt's canon 50mm f1.8 left 4 dead and my brother is damn good to me - got me an auto rewind air hose reel, probably one of the best tools in the shop.

i'm going with the hyper silver smoked on some of the lexus gx470s when i redo my sawblades

same thing as the pink impreza badge, just suggests the car is something it wasn't to begin with. the rare stuff is interesting like the XX on the old celica supras

view was the best i've ever seen up there, the horizon was almost crystal clear
