Need some advice on an exhaust manifold I currently have a tubular mani but it keeps springing leaks lol partially because my car is lowered and I kept hitting the big speed bump in my apt I got it fixed since then and have avoided the bump as much as possible to day I was getting on the freeway and shifted from 1st to 2nd and all of a sudden got a leak its f*** retarded.

So I'm in the market for a new one if any of you have any suggestions (other than stock) I would greatly appreciate it.

Only real options are stock manifold or the eGhey manifolds. You can try and fit an HKS T4 flanged manifold, but trust me, it's a HUGE pain to make it fit.

If only the block was taller so the head would sit farther away from the steering shaft. If only......

Taller head wouldn't help. it's not the steering linkage that' was the problem. It was the brake booster/master cylinder. The wastegate and oil drain all cleared perfectly fine.

This year, I won't be paying off credit cards anymore and I'll have the money to ship that awesomeness over here. I hope I still know where the crank is! My garage is like yours. I often find things I forgot I had, like turbo's, and heads, and cams, LOL!
