HOLY S!@#....
My Progressive Insurance just revised my policy since I went paperless.
They dropped my monthly payment by $15!
$15 off per month just by going paperless.... wow!
I'm not complaining!
Thanks to John for the suggestion (I called him for some "insider advise")

I'm glad I missed this thread for a few hours...
Anyway my front o2 sensor is completely boned and I need a new one. Anyone have suggestions on where I can get one?

well you need more than just the O2 sensor...you need the bung to go with it which means new headers I think. If it is just a generic O2 sensor though i would pick it up locally. Mine ran like $50 for the Stealth.

If any of you experience loss in connection with the AccessPort dongle, I made a DIY on how to thicken the pins and create a better, more solid connection:

As promised, pictures!
And here's the box
Front end off
Another shot
Empty engine bay
Turbo mounted!
Putting the right engine mount back on
Piping and air intake in. Also the intercooler, but I don't have a picture of that.

Neat. One question tho is there supposed to be a gap where you installed the snail or should it be flush? Kinda looks like there's one circled here:

Technical background? Nothing formal, my dad taught me a lot. The worst problems, SO FAR, are limited, but major none the less. For example, my front o2 sensor was killed. The damn thing after thousands of miles apparently welded itself into the exaust manifold. Also getting the unit into position was a royal PITA. I have a nice bruise around my eye from where it fell on me while I was mounting it. And no, I'm not taking a picture of my eye, I'll get some more pics up pretty soon, I'll be sure to get a couple of the intercooler.

If you do start a thread about your install post a link on here so that we can follow it. I'd be interested to watch your project and someday see it in person. ( I assume you'll bring it to a get together when it is done)

hi fellas...long time no see. I only get to watch posts from my yahoo mail these days. Since the shinka's finally coming out to play and I've melted the Kumho spt's in back I wanted to get a poll on what rubber everyone has and recommends for ohio summer/rain/track and if NEone has run 245/40/18's vs stock 225??? I've read a loss of "road feel" but better grip obviously but I trust u guys more... any feedback is appreciated. Seems the SPT's are pretty popular...
