Kansei said:nice work.. now get that s*** fixed
lol yea... look on the bright side buddy... at least you didn't have to pull your motor
The transmission bolts don't fit through the engine stand brackets. And to drill those out requires a 1/2" drive drill, which I don't have. So it'll have to wait. But yea. That little freaking tee that is broke in the block looks 1000x worse up close (pissed)
I guess I'll just start cleaning the engine bay and working on the wiring! Tomorrow, of course

I could pick one up at the autoparts store and throw it in the box of junk I'm shipping out to you, if you want.
well i ordered an OBX Header today. hopefully it gets here soon!! has anyone used a header w/o gettin different motor mounts? I dont have the money right now for them (even for just the front) so I was wondering if I would be ok using the stock mounts

You'll be fine. A header alone isn't going to give you enough HP to matter. A header, an intake and an exhaust aren't going to give you enough HP for it to matter if you've got upgraded motormounts. Put in the header, drive the piss out of it, have fun.

You said your mounts weren't torn so you'll be fine. Congrats on the header you'll like it.

one of my friends just told me i will get wheel hop like crazy. but i dont have the money to spend on a mount right now. so no mount it is. woot. thanks guys!
You won't get wheel hop any more or less than you do right now. The header doesn't change that
Just pick up an SLS front motor mount when you gots the cash
Edit: today I went out to my car , started it up, let it warm up.. was going to change the oil, but my craftsman jack broke >_< lifetime warranty should fix that up, don't really feel like carrying the jack into the store though haha I'll just stick it in my trunk and tell them they can come out to the car to inspect it if they want.
Edit: My plans for today include changing my oil, inspecting my spark plugs (they've only been in for 1500 miles but I dunno if they are cold enough for the boost level I'm running), and repainting my front calipers to match the rears (rear are gloss black, front is matte black and it kinda looks dumb).
So far I took of the fscking unauthorized license plate frame the shop put on my car.. (encourage. To put their crap frame on they removed the adhesive that was holding the bottom of my plate on to prevent it from rattling, and also had to use longer bolts... bolts which dug through the paint on the car beneath the bracket >_< >_<
why oh why do people feel the need to ruin my car?! (yupnope)

Do you have any other upgraded mounts installed? I was goign to get the SU mounts but I might try the SLS ones instead. I currently have the AWR front mount and well its vibrates the car pretty bad at times, but thats due to my rear mount being shot for the most part
