new header just arrived...$145 shipped...how can they make this stuff so cheap??...might not give me the world beating performance increase a big $$ header would, chrome might discolor quicker as well...internal welds were cleaned up pretty nicely and welds look good...hopefully fit is ok...it has the bend for the 6spd mount...all gaskets ect...whole package only weighs 23 pounds...should at least take some weight off the front end

took a break from working on the CL this week...took the old civic down to Pacific Raceways in Seattle for a double-7 endurance race...small field but the old girl took home 3rd on a roll-over plagued weekend

MDX calipers are a no-go for sure...it was worth a shot.....

the koyo rad for the 02-06 sentra spec-v has the same overall dimensions...hoses are on size larger so I used a double gear clamp at the engine...nothing will get by them...hoses are a but odd but 2009 malibu with 4 cyl is what I used...pisser tube points to the right instead of the left-loop a longer hose....hardwired in the sentra fans-easy peasy...only right lower peg lines uo with rad support...slot the left peg hole and the rad will drop right in...top mounting pegs line up perfect

yap...is factory cls6...I did as the little tutorial of the check valve removal showed and sure enough there is a little plastic restrictor in there...tossed it over my shoulder...also removed the dampener in line...over the shoulder...clutch feels the same...hopefully on the track it will last longer from a more instant grab and release...have to wait and see

abs unit off

6.1 lb off the nose

new prop valve in place...only .1 lb....just need to build a little bracket to support it...a little more will be shed when prop valve under master gets eliminated.....I want it to be my fault if the wheels lock/don't lock not some computer controlled valving system
