installed RB header today some info to know.

hey guys i got home from work today and was waiting in my yard with my dog for the ups man to show up. yes iam a bastard that likes freaking out the ups man.
so i got my header and mini presilencer today plus the 3 gaskets i bought.
one of which was wrong but for some weired reason i also got the right gasket, the block off plates and bolts need to use one plate.

i already bought the block off plates a few weeks ago,so i have a spare set now. but when i bought them i didn't not get bolts with them.

it took me 4 hours to get the top left bolt out on the mani. if i spent the time to remove my upper intake it would of been much quicker. putting the racing beat stuff on took about 30 mins.

is was too dark to take pics but i think most of you know wat a rb header on a 12 in a sa looks like. o yeah it was a perfect fit.
by the way this was done on jack stands.

hes kinda a dick when i got the floor pan's dropped off for my capri iam building with a friend he chewed me out about how my house is back wards on the street and he had to go up stairs. my house is on a circle(sp? iam buzzed 240 am) when they started making the house there it had a different address. then they made the circle. me and my nabors house are back wards. how hard is it to walk around to find the front door.

update's. so i finshed installing all these parts
respped parts
front and real coil over/adjustable spring perches.
front sway bay.
what ever brand bushing kit billy sells


new ball joints.

racing beat parts
block off plates,
header mini muffler thing and gaskets.

i got the car off the jack stands and need a jump start i had my step dad with his f250 turbo diesel jump me. big mistake burnt out a fusible link. i freaked out and didnt know what to do. i didnt touch any wiring. so hopefully when i wake up after sleeping off this buzz ill get that fixed and fire it up.

now all i have left is front break line's body to breaks not the hard lines. and figure some thing out for my grill. i have a sa and the square plates where rotting a way.
i was spose to be getting a kamie(sp?) air dam off a member on the rx7 club but now hes
sending it to billy at respeed to make a mold, when he gets it back iam spose to be able to buy it from him. but i dont know if hes jerking me around or what. i really want to get my car back on the road befor the 29 when my g/f gets back from spain. any ways iam little drunk now and depressed because i miss my gf ad need to sleep

man law you cant tell but that shirt says not safe at any speed lol.

Those rear adjustable perches are the shit, aren't they? I ordered my front Respeed bar last week, can't wait until it gets here.

In the photo, you look stoned! And your girlfriend is way too cute for you. Are you hung like a mule, or what?

I was thinking the same thing, except my guess is that he just keeps her stoned so that she doesn't realize she is too cute for him.

I just wanted to use one of the smilies that won't get much use.

i mite of been stoned in that pic i dont like to drink at partys because ill drink a few beer or i get black out drunk. she is too good for me and she likes my rx7. she went with me when i frist went to see the car. even tho it need's body work she told me to buy it cause its a cute little car. and she loves to drive it. what more would a man need. o yeah for my car to start.

i fixed the problem, didn't use a plastic washer on the alt,between the cable that goes to the battery and that signal cleaner thing. a 2 cent washer was making me go nuts.

my buddy worked on the car when i was at work, i stopped by my house before going to the dentist. he was checking all my wire's and figured out the problem before i left. when i got home he re wrapped all my wire's and washed the car. i dont know why but with the racing beat header it starts so much easyer and doesn't shoot flames(couldnt find a sad enough face) like it did befor.
my buddy said the cat/thermal reactor must of been cloged and holding raw fuel. any other ideas or you think he hit the nail on the head.

ill be posting a video of the car running once my buddy stops by with his mac. i broke mine a year ago and cant figure out how to put video from my cam on my house pc.
