Look up mexiflush. I'm being totally serious in my responses. I don't think you will be able to make that setup not poke without some sort of pull or putting them on a different car or crazy camber. That's my setup plus 10mm spacers all around and I'm extremely close to needing a pull

Yep sounds like coils and plugs. I think I remember you from before, You got you car at Gunn correct?

This weekend is going to be a difficult one. We are having our big tuner weekend and most of us will be in class or tuning.

I would personally be happy to give you a hand but am not sure how busy I will be.

so can someone answer me a question? I snapped a vacuum line fitting tonight, it appears to be underneath the manifold, or is it part of the manifold? Either way I'm going to have to replace it and I'm trying to figure out what part to buy. I got the car started and it ran fine putting it back in the garage, the other end is coming off a part (possibly heater related? I know squat about vacuum lines on this car) that's on the passenger side of the engine bay. My guess is it was pretty brittle to begin with and I got caught on it and next thing I have a hose in my hand. ggrrr. I'm going to search the forum but figured I'd throw this out first while I do that, thanks in advance.

pretty sure this is the part I need, any ideas on what this is called or a part number?

edit: I figured it out, it's just called the oil filler neck and there's tons of them all over the internet, looks like pita to replace though...ugh.

good, that's a relief, looks like I have to pull the manifold to get to it, which looks fairly simple other than disconnecting a ton of stuff, I have a new intake and catch can to install so I'll probably do it all at once and give it all a good cleaning while I'm at it. I found a replacement on ebay right after posting, just hope it gets here soon.

I have an extra upper intake manifold, did you just break the actuator? Did you order it already?

I only broke a vacuum nipple off the filler neck assembly thankfully, everything else is intact and it even runs fine when I start it, luckily that's all I did, I was reaching around tracing lines and when I pulled my hand out it caught the line and snapped the plastic, I saw a thread where a guy dilled out the hole and put a barb fitting on it but I found a used replacement on ebay for 45 shipped so I'm not too worried about it, I freaked at first until I did some looking on here and google and figured out it's not a catastrophe, just an inconvenience.
