motavated Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) When I picked the part up the header it was 170$. 900$ For the accident. 150$ for the exhaust shop muffler and installation, times 3. so its like 1,580$! That header I owned was bad luck! I think I sold mines to Phatdave... I couple months later he had a stroke and had to re-sell his parts. Coincidence? I think not! I wonder who has that header now. I'll pray for that guy.... Edited July 29, 2009 by Motavated Quote Link to comment

I'll pray for that guy.... sounds to me like you just had bad luck and that header particular header is cursed :P the one im looking at the guy bought brand new and has never gotten around to installing it and since then he has picked up a long tube troy ermish header so hes willing to part with this one its brand new and he paid $220 for it Quote Link to comment

Hyphy Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 perfect shot to do some photchoppin with for color schemes, but as you can tell from this one...finish out the bodyline over the rear wheel and the colors youve already got started. Quote Link to comment
drummingpariah Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 No way! I like this paint scheme as-is. It's quirky and cool as hell! Just ... match up the wheels, and paint 'em black. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 the current paint scheme may stay idk yet im getting opinions from everyone cause i honistly have no idea what i wanna do for paint :P i got a question for you weber gurus out there im looking at my carb and there are some things im curious about there is a second nipple on the body i think its a return though im not sure there is also another spot for a wire to connect i remember seeing a pic somewhere that makes me think its an anti deisal device not sure yet the 2 items in question are circled Quote Link to comment

It needs 12v keyed ignition, or you can replace it with a normal weber idle jet holder. Can buy them at racetep.com. They require the Large body idle jets/holders. Quote Link to comment

Hyphy Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Not a fan of the purple...I vote blue, but its gotta be a blue.....no teals or off shades. Lighter shades are better. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) I like greens and think they have a certain classiness to them, but as above it has to be the right shade. Edited August 4, 2009 by 72240z Quote Link to comment
Dat620guy Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 PURPLE!!!!! plum crazy is a badass color. but then again so is panther pink. Yeah, I think plum crazy would be an awesome color for the car. Quote Link to comment
