Once i have the rad piping made up, i don't think i'll have the room, so i plan on sticking with the festiva sway bar for now

i wonder how well this whole setup would fit into an aspire by comparison.

hopefully I'll be finding out shortly, a buddy of mine's truck broke down so I was helping him and another one of his friends asked if I was interested in a V6 for my car. He has a 95 626 that was T-boned but still runs great, it drives in circles though lol. He's practically giving me the car and its pretty low miles!

Look what i've started :p but thats a great deal!!


Well here's how i modified the header to clear the steering rack, i cut the pipe bent it til i closed the gap and welded it back together



And when installed, theres now tons of clearance for the steering rack



But i went too far and now it doesn't clear my axle



So tomorrow i'll be moving it back towards the rack so it'll work

Wow nice job!

[Damkid]

Wow nice job!

Too nice though :lol:

[hofficergrover]
