Intakes will take all of 1-2 hours depending on who is smart enough to give me a power tool...

Exhaust will be knockout out quickly enough. Again... power tools

oil cooler, no a freaking clue. You stick it to the roof, right?

clutch? Madwi and Susan can screw around with that. I'll make sure she wears yoga pants for visual stimulation.

Everything else is small and won't take longer than a half hr each.

you're ambitious sir.. especially for having never done this work before

I did swift springs and axle back exhaust last year. Axleback took me half hour. And 20 minutes of it was adding random assorted washers to the hangars to better seat the tips since they were uneven.

Springs took about 4 hours with frequent breaks and watching youtube videos on how to just those compression bar things. No power tools. I cranked each spring by hand with a wrench.

LOL I'll be shocked if you can do it within 4 hours. I'm not sure how much help you'll be - don't you weigh like 130 lbs? If anyone is going to melt those bolts off it'll be Mr. Scott

Nah. 170ish now. I plan to jerry rig an amazing breaker bar using my tekton bar wrapped into the long handle used for the jack. Tappy tap with a hammer if needed. Otherwise, I go to a local parts store and ask to borrow a blowtorch for the day.

and mr. leingod, you need to pb blast the upper and lower areas of the cat where the o2 sensor enters the cat.. both sides.

I don't like to use power tools on the exhaust either. O2 sensor damage from the vibration is a very real possibility. I've learned my lesson.

Leingod · 04-12-2018, 09:58 AM

Oh yea. And then 3 hours wondering why my front right wheel was making a wubbing noise around corners. Turns out, spacer was just loose.

Leingod · 04-12-2018, 10:02 AM

I just had a freaking genius idea!!! I need the car inspected anyways before the trip.

So I have the techs loosen the demon bolts before hand and just have them retighten to normal tq.

I'm not sure that's such a good idea unless you're just willing to pay them to do the work. You might want to check with them on how much it will cost you when one of the bolts breaks and they have to cut it out with a torch...
