    Wink ** All the pictures of my new/old headers and flexpipes ***

    Ok guys, Let's start from the begining.

    A week ago a bought a set of DC Sport headers from my buddy Steve (88lxi68).






    On tuesday 12/31/02 I took the car to Steve's shop ( my mechanic) to put the headers on.




    He then started to work on it .............



    This is what the engine bay looked with the old headers on.

    After heating every single bolt to take the old headers and flex-pipe off, this was the result:




    Look at that flex pipe......... I knew it was bad but not like that

    We had to replace every single bolt and it looked pretty good

    The whole piping is custome made execpt the Cathalic converter ( I'll get that later)










    *Hey Steve, after heating it for like 3 min, it finally came off! **

    Wow that header looks nice. I'm putting on my pacesetter header after I spray some alluminum spray paint on them and clena them up. Why didn't you put on a straight pipe dude? That cat looks ugly. Got any pics where it shows the headers looking down at them next to the valvecover?

    and after all that exictment, I took it for a test drive and guys ................... let me tell you all that I almost broke my neck when I stepped on it! cough:: cough:: torque, torque ::cough ::cough :lol J/K

    Then, took it to the car wash so it could look nice for the new year!









    *** I wanna thanks Mark (markmdz89hatch), Steve (88lxi68), Juan (oldschoolswap) and Jay (neuspeed87lx). Throught out the time that I've been a member here; I've bought a couple of parts for my car from this guys :: and girls ::

    I got the Headers from Steve, the fuel regulator and the front bumper lip from Juan, my 17" rims from Jay and ................ I know I'm forgetting somebody here .................... what that fuck is his name .................. Oh yeah! Mark! I've never bought anything from you but you gave me a pair of rear shocks for my car and I thank you for that.

    This guys are pretty cool guys and very serious when it comes down to business.


    Oh! here is the NOS fuel pressure regulator that I bought from Juan.




    I love it too! my car feels so much stronger and faster than a couple of months ago and it also looks much better. I'm happy with my Sei!

    I'm not gonna post any pics of the lip right now because I have different plans for it. It's just my little secret! hahahaha but if you're wondering what it looks like right now, just look at oldschool's car. That's the one

    Looks good Maurice and I am glad you like the header. if that check engine light comes on make sure you switch the o2 sensor plugs. (green plug to white socket and white plug to green socket)

    Yo man, my check engine light came on like you said! and the sometimes when the car is iddleing, it shakes a little and sometimes when I'm accelerating, it feels like no gas is going through the gas lines. You know what I'm talking about????? I checked the light under the driver seat and it blinks one time. That's suppose to be the O2 sensor right? does that sensor make the car do that???

    yep.. its actually like 2850lbs.. now your car weight negative 300lbs.. thats why you can accelerate so much better! :P

    yeah the headers are fun, but believe me, in a month you will feel slow again and need another mod...
