I'm hoping to install my gauges and headers/exhaust this Saturday afternoon. I've had a generous offer from Spektre for the use of of his garage as mine is far too small.

I was wondering if anyone who has had some experience of swapping exhausts might be able to lend a second set of hands and help me out. There will be alcoholic remuneration on offer.

All the pertys is attached and light up but only the AFR is operational. The sensors supplied for the Water Temp and Oil Temp were the wrong size.

Remember when the oil temp wasn't reading even when the car had been running for ten minutes. That's because the oil was now on the outside of the block.

BTW I'm still finding hidden auto meter stickers on my car. Thanks.

Thanks to Master D, Spektre and KAMImages for all the help yesterday afternoon/last night. Car sounds mint. The drive home was lots of fun. Gauges looked sweet. Now just need to get the correct size sensors for the Water Temp and Oil Temp and we're away laughing.

Pics and video will be uploaded soon enough.

Is the exhaust tip actually touching the bumper Scott?
I have seen them melt the bumper occasionally.
