Got my o2 bung welded in finally. Extending the o2 wire now. My stillen front lip is painted and I need to install it but that's going to have to wait. I accidentally cut the top of my finger off yesterday. So the cv shaft install is going to have to wait too

What's worse is the clotting gauze is stuck to the wound. Looks like I'm going to have to go back to the doctor to have it removed.

First I'm putting this dang stillen lip on

No, I just bought the muffler and 240sx Test Pipe. Those together $135. Then had them weld in a custom 3" pipe for $150 parts and labor. I must say they did an amazing job.

You'd be deaf if you did that indoors with the cattman, especially without a resonator

Got my exhaust fixed.

Blew my cat, almost complete blockage forcing the flex pipe to leak the pressure difference.

Funny story, same thing happened to my previous car, 2 in a row now lol. (mazda mx-6 back then). All about that red line on a standard

Went to the same guy, this time i did:
Flex pipe
Cat delete
Res. delete
2.5inch
"Flow 409" muffler (magna flow replica)
$400 cash

my car sheet to date:

Installed 4" intake and ~550cc injectors (Power Enterprise 510cc) WITHOUT ANY TUNING LOL (TS F-spec reflash). Runs great overall. A little lean under 2k, but is 13.6-13.7 up top. Misfires slightly at idle when warm, but I think that's due to the intake being made wrong. MAF is getting turbulence. It's stoic when cruising and at idle.

Why no tune? B/c Utecs are pieces of ****ing ****!

6th gen valve covers with a 10an oil fitting tapped in for a return. Fitting had to be placed just right, in line with the cap to avoid oil in the tubes. Came out very easy. Also new ngk coppers one step colder. Only took about an hour and a half.
