hood bra i actually got from trading a obd1 ls ecu for it but its made by LeBra which could be found on ebay for $39.99+free shipping.

from stock intake manifold is well its stock lol
skunk2 intake manifold has no fita valve like the stock one does, its ported larger, and a preformance gain. i havnt seen anything yet since my vehicle isnt drivable at the moment. Also thanks! i have alot of plans for it :slight_smile:

finally fixed all the fuel leaks!!! car idles perfect! tomorrow installing a new oil pan gasket and cleaning out all the gunk and switching to mobil 1 full synthetic oil & synthetic oil filter, taking out my short shift and installing a stock shifter in it and going to install my header and in a few weeks install my catback exhaust :slight_smile:

on the bad side im pretty sure my transmission is on its last legs :frowning:

header installed

I recommend the 3G Duel bend shift linkage with shifter if your changing that out. One of my 2 favorite things I ever did to my car, cheap, easy, and so nice. Nice DB by the way!

thankyou sir. i ended up putting the stock shifter in. i actualy dont really like short shifters i just plan on making my car an nice show car/ reliable DD.

yesterday installed my 2.5" catback and of course its about 4" off. any suggestions?? doesnt bolt up to testpipe. :frowning:

Just go to an exhaust shop and get it extended. I have to do that all the time when I order exhausts for my 4 door.

Pretty surprised how good the Le Bra looks, unless the pic is semi deceiving, lol.

I’m jealous about the price you paid for the car. I really dig it. The body looks good. Kudos.

cant because im running a testpipe and car never came with a cat in the first place lol
