Manifold removal in process.

[rhipsher]

I started the removal last night. So far I've got the Borla exhast dropped and the passengers side manifold removed 5 hours of work so far. Tomarrow night will be the drivers side turn. Now thats supposed to be the fun part because the stearing shaft is in the way. It looks like only one nut connects it to the stearing wheel side so I'll mark the orientation, disconnect that side and zipp tie it out of the way. Then there will be alot more room to work in. Just make sure you have plenty of 1/4 3/8 1/2 extensions and swivels and gear wrenches. You'll need them. And almost everything is metric. You will use 6,8,10,15mm often. I should be done by this weekend. The funny thing is, I've been a member of the largest corvette club in Houston. Out of 250 members I'm the only one in the club with a ZR-1. I've put out the word if anybody from the club would like to help me that the beer and pizza would be on me. So far no takers. Such loyalty HaHaHa.

Hey brad, what's up. Yeah I'm putting on the stock headers I bought from corey. Man I would love to put Jeal headers on with Corsa exhaust. And have my injecter housings ported. And my intake ported and polished. But my wife became a registered nurse a year ago. So we are playing catch up with student loans and mortgage ect. By next fall we will be caught up with everything. Maybe then.

Hey itman, I was in Chicago for 2 weeks one time. It was bone chilling cold. I walked from the John Handcock building to the Sears Tower and went to the top. I'll never forget that. Chicago and New York have the best Pizza. Barbacue and mexican food is real big down here. Almost everything has hot peppers and chili in it.

I hear it warms up here in Chicago for July & August, every year, no matter what! otfl

I salute you for the walk you did from the Hancock to the Sears! I would have grabbed a cab!

We do love our pizza, for sure!
