Looks very nice...
Um, how is the header ... sunroof bezel ... Down tubes ... manifold porting... projects going?
Can you discuss a little of the theory in the making of that part? Why would I want one?
Thanks.
I'm hopin' this booger holds up to my testing program, got numerous offers but I'm gonna put it under my mostly stock '94 5spd for a week and see what happens.Originally posted by Billabong089
hmm nice, I had to replace that part a while back and what a bitch to find a new one, mine broke in half and I assume that was from wheel hop or something crazy lol....very very loud noise when that thing breaks( guess something was rubbing on something ) , cost about $120 to find a brand new one... good ol' ford making everthing hard to get for these cars

I'll be sure to post my results, those that know the thrashing I put my '94 through on occasion will tell you the test will be authentic .
