Nice Mustang.

Nice fr s

I've been loving that style of aftermarket taillights on the frs/gt86/brz

Yeah a C3, I'm curious what gave it away though.

Good job OP, that is going to look nice for all of about 10 seconds.

New chrome shorty headers and an x-pipe

I got myself one of these for the AW11 I don't own yet. Insurance against the shitty three spoke steering wheels

How easy is doing headers on a 5.0 without pulling the motor?

>Riven
die.

Very easy. Took two people. Total install time accounting for food break was 8.5 hours. I could do it much faster now that I know what I'm doing though.

Interesting, I want to get a 5.0 of my own some day and do a bunch of bolt on mods. That's a bbk shorty, right? Also, why are all the wires out?

Currently replacing everything that isn't the body or the glass.

Headers won't go on with wires in place.

oh now i see i feel silly

I put the blc slap on, and now my rod bearings are migrating into my oil at a pretty fast pace.
still need to pull the pan and see if i can get away with bearings alone.

tfw my I4 sounds like an H4 with unequal length headers

was about to say the same
