    I lied, I will probably be back to that JY next week sometime. There are a few more things I need to get. I just ran out of time to get them.

    Those 2 Aspires didn't have anything that respire wanted. Both engines were gone and the clusters were your basic. No tach clusters.

      That sounds like a blast!!
      Or take it to a muffler guy I know in KY. He can set you up for around $170 to $200 for a whole new exhaust in whatever you want. He only takes cash and make sure you call him 1st to let him know what you want. Let me know and I can give you his number.
      Just to give you a few options.

        Back to the JY this morning, got me 2 more smooties, a distributor, rear hatch off the LX, & an air filter container.
        All was $65.
        My next visit will probably getting the engine out of one of the festies which the JY guy says it's good. He would let me have it for $200.

          I just want to get the downpipe hooked up to a oem intermediate pipe with no leaks, and preferably without having to cut off the oem pipes flange, I don't care if the catalytic convertor is there or not, but I would prefer it be removed since I do believe it has gone bad. It will need to be cut off if it's going to be removed since it is welded onto to downpipe.

          I already have a new OEM Intermediate pipe, and muffler on there, I just need the front half of the exhaust sorted.

            I gotcha, if your cutting the cat out tho one of the pipes will need extended and some custom work will have to be done. There isnt a muffler shop around that will put an exhaust together w/o a cat (unless you sweet talk them and dont get a receipt and stuff but..)

            Anyway my offer stands if you ever need some help.

              Visited the JY this morning and got me an ECU, speed cable, coil, & fuse box.

              I got the ECU and fuse box for Silver Streak. The ecu is the same as the one that came out of Silver Streak (B376). I will see if the ECU is the problem later this week.

              The speed cable is for Blue to replace the one that is shorter.

              The coil is an extra part.
