Ok, the only things stopping my Swap are a lack of downpipe, intake pipe, and hotpipe. I am running out of funds, so I was hoping if someone has old stock pieces they are willing to let go cheap, or peices I can borrow for a couple months. My plans include an aluminum hot pipe with a Greddy type S BOV, and a 3" downpipe. but right now, I need to get the car running. Thanks for your response. answer here, or my e-mail, [email protected], or my cell, which I will give you if you e-mail.

I might do that, I dunno though. The real problem is the downpipe. I guess I will let the car sit, and just get a 3" one in a week or two. I can always run it with no exhaust ;) not for long, though, I don't need any tickets. lol

find some SR piping... it will work

and for downpipe, if you can find an SR o2 housing, you can use that with an SR downpipe. I'd say SR stuff is much easier to find:)

it's angled wrong, you have to cut the (top?) flange off and rotate it a few degrees and weld it back on.

^^LOL^^ You're not getting anywhere near my car man! JK! I had to teach myself to solder. I'm still not the greatest, but they always hold, just look like crap.
