Protowrxs 111 Report post Posted December 23, 2006 Likely the last time I do much on the car for 2006. I started my own EFI export brace and mocked up the Unisteer rack. I like the look of the beefier 1 1/8" pipe for the brace. I'll bent up a mont carlo bar after mocking up a motor with the EFI intake, etc up. I'm undecided on welding the bar in or making it removable using heims or pins. Looks like I'll be replacing headers as well since I can't see how what I have will clear. I'll still drop a block down in and mock up a head and header before finaling the rack config to make sure though.

bnickel 10,004 Report post Posted December 23, 2006 oh, depending on what headers you have you might be able to make them work with the rack. i think hooker super comps will work, but the competition headers won't. you could always go with a shorty like the hedman's i have too.

Protowrxs 111 Report post Posted December 23, 2006 I might just go shorties and leave it at that. It would make the O2 sensors setup easier to make work as well and likely make it easier to route the hydraulic clutch slave and hose. You have any pics of the drivers side of your shorty Headmans? -Stephen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Protowrxs 111 Report post Posted December 23, 2006 No big rush.. just curious on how they route. The headers that Pak have look like they have a nice hole in the right place as well. -Stephen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
