Oh, those will look tight.

I was kind of thinking something like this would be better and more functional though.

Here is what we did today on our cars. I also changed my tranny fluid through the shifter and I must say, it is the best way to do it.

Yesterday we also fixed Hoss-05's car since he is deployed. His wife was having some issues with the car so we replaced his battery, fixed leaking tire, replaced two broken intake screens, clean oil from maf tube, cleaned maf, replaced air filter, replaced missing vacuum nipple (causing lean CEL), cleaned trunk due to mysterious smell, changed his oil with Mobil1 0W-40 and 09' oil filter, and washed her dirty ***

For our trouble he donated a new 1/2" Torque wrench and oil filter adapter to the SARX garage






Mazmart Oil Pressure Kit





Installed BB Spoiler

Awesome guys... Spoiler looks great... Reservoir came out good. Did deleting the Air Pump cause a CEL?

I have ordered some stuff for th LY

Catch Can ( I had time to install before I went to work Sat.)
Belts (the higher quality ones from RotaryFX)
Redline MT90 trans fluid.
Rotary B Pillars cover from Rotary FX (a little bling)

I want to paint my calipers too...

Funny this is that I have not gotten a CEL for the air pump and I was before when I would unplug it. But I did remove the whole pump assembly and plugs all the way back to the main harness. Also, my CEL for my midpipe is gone as of now. Weird.
