Thanks, without dropping the turbos and downpipes my skinny arms can change plugs in about 1.5 hours... funny thing is, it takes the same time to do by dropping the turbos/downpipes, just a few more things on the floor during the process. Not too bad really, considering what it is.

haha yeah yeah i know...i get made fun of all the time for that. My sheet metal brake is not long enough to bend a peice big enough for the whole radiator...so I need to get someone to make me one...and i dont like having people build stuff for me...plus, zip ties rule... as ghetto as it looks, they have never broken on me.

Man that looks like some work! How in the world you get the headers on? Also where did you put the ICM? Nice work but way too much for me even though I would've loved to gone TT's.

The headers go on fine, just have to take off the valve covers first. ICM? you mean the stock lt1 ICM? It's gone with the rest of the stock ignition system, the megasquirt II runs the coil directly.
