Do you really want those parts hidden behind the dash?

Be more specific. If you're talking fuse box or ecu it's actually really easy to get to that stuff when the heating/cooling ducts are removed.

but you will have a dash and center console right? If you don't mind it, that's fine with me. I hope you don't have to troubleshoot any ecu codes. I am uncomfortable doing it with everything in the stock location.

Really, it's all pretty easy to get to when you remove the blower, ducts, climate control, etc. That's the majority of the stuff under the dash. Besides, pulling an EF dash takes all of what, 15 minutes if you take your time?

I know, but I'm simply saying IF it came down to it, still wouldn't be a huge issue. But everything I see in those photos should be relatively accessible with the dash in place.

So excited about that sedan BLU, can't wait to see it in motion.

True...maybe run the wire used to ground and check for codes out from behind. I have that wire tucked under the carpet for easy access.

Lol, you are weak.

Its really easy to get at, esp with toggle switches on the d5 ground and my laptop next to me.

The barb thing is a battery kill solenoid, google it.

I guess my new fabbed up **** wont get posted in this forum anymore, since apparently it not good enough for you guys.

Right. Only post stuff if you think everyone will

I said its fine as long as you don't mind it. And I even wished that you don't need to troubleshoot any CELs. Please re-read my posts without affixing negative tones in your head. I was just trying to have a conversation.

Wish I had some better info but my car isn't together yet.. and my beater has a stock header still.
Exactly why I was asking for a thread where maybe this has been all discussed before. I'm a boosted kinda guy so I never worried about header options in the 10 years I've owned the car... I personally have a couple things I'm looking for and just wanted to see pics of what people are running to better my decision. LOL, thanks for letting me know it's a HEADER and not HEADERS, lol!!

WAY too low in my opinion. I've really enjoyed my Innovative "race" x-member as it doesn't hang low at all, but with my Innovative mounts, my JG/Edlebrock header is still scraped up (from the occasional jaunt on the street vs. the track where surface is pretty smooth).

I can leave you with this bit of advice...if it's an EF/ED, and it's lowered with a B-series, you're going to scratch/ding your header
Yeah, the header question can be a can of worms. I kinda think there might be some value in showing some variations and fitment options. I've banged up my ITR pretty bad, and I'm no stranger to scrapping stuff with the car, like I said, I've owned it for a pretty long time.. it kinda just comes with the territory when owning and EF... I don't ride "SUPER DUMPED" or anything like that, as I actually use my car from time to time to beat up on, but I do like being low...

That RMF narrow header looks like it would get me the fit I need, even with the issue of using a half radiator, does anybody have pics of that in an EF/ED?

Please be mindful that written words are difficult to interpret for emotion. You often come off as negative/rude. It's all perception. Much like the Clipsed guy.

This thread fell off lately. Let's get it back on track.

edit: My new bumper. I have to figure out how to paint this thing so that it matches the rest of the car's black trim.

Wow a lot of stuff going on while I've been busy moving...

A bumper not being bolted on is something different then fabricating custom **** to fit, function, and look good. You're right, it is his to deal with... If you can't take constructive criticism, then you shouldn't be posting on an open forum. I like the car, **** is badass, I will say again for the last time though... All the money and time custom fabricating ****, and the radiator is half *** and sticks out like a sore thumb... Why one would invest so much time and money into the car and put a radiator in like that is beyond me... The only logical explanation is they were excited to get it finished and running and half assed a radiator. Whatever, I'm over it...

I also threw a half assed radiator in there at first to get it running, then a GTi rad, and now I am in the process of completely redoing the entire engine bay, using a modified half rad, with AN fittings. I hope he redoes his radiator as well, but honestly it is just a car he takes out in the desert, and beats the crap out of, so not sure if he will.
I don't understand it though, simple as that. Everyone is different though, I prefer to do things right the first time around anymore. Too many bad previous experiences, plus you waste time and money. Do it right the first time be over and done with it. Just FYI though, you can call me Clipsed or Clipse, no need to add guy after. I don't refer to anyone in that fashion, and would appreciate to not be referred to as such either, I call people either by their real names or their forum name. Thanks...

I'm not usually like this, biterness has overcome with a few good guys unfortunately from people not being able to take things with a grain of salt. It's hard to interpret tone and what not over a message board. As of late, it seems in my eyes that people are misinterpreting my statements or just like to get into it for whatever the reason may be. The whole radiator thing was as simple as an opinion. Bart and I started chatting about it, and HotSauce had to put his $.02 in, and it just took off...

lol Matt, funny figure of speech... Not really, maybe I'm just too expressive in my opinion, it is what it is, seems like everyone is just too touchy.

Glad you don't, not looking to make enemies with anyone here in this thread. We all share the same love for EF's up until someone brings up the hatch, rex, sedan, wagon battle... We are all here for the same reason, really we shouldn't be bickering in the fashion that we do, and I'm not saying I'm not also guilty of it. We are all similar in the fact that we all want to express ourselves. It's a good thing, because this world would be **** if it were like Henry Ford and his Model T, if you know what I mean...

You're absolutely right... How the **** am I supposed to interpret, "the Clipsed guy." Am I not a person? I must be a thing...



On an EF related note, I've been moving the past few days, I have gotten about 80-90% of my car parts moved, and wow... I have NEVER realized how much you can accumulate over time. Sure one thing here and there, but jeez!

I also started a new job two days ago, and still waiting to hear back from another place I interviewed at, would be nice to have two jobs and bring in a nice bit of money to get my EF painted quickly.

Hope everyone is going to have a safe and Happy Holiday's, anyone doing anything exciting this year?
