I can help a little, but I will be working on some stuff in the house. Do you feel comfortable doing most of it yourself? PM or text me your new number.

Thanks for the help and shop today! It was a bit warm but lots of action going on,

1st impression of the Crawford Powr blocks are real nice, seems to move the power and torque curve into more usability in the powerband

Thanks again for letting me come by to take care of that, and I have no idea how I didn't turn my shoes black after that!

Yeah man, no problem. Can't have a fellow 86er's car falling apart on an epic roadtrip like yours! Anytime.

For those of you anywhere near Portland who haven't had a chance to stop by Darren's amazing shop, I highly recommend it. Great guy and a wonderful resource.

I'll have to be hitting him up again soon once I figure out what to do with the terrible-fitting P.O.S. Manzo exhaust (you get what you pay for).

Pics:


Endcaps are so close to the center piece, we were worried about melting.


The exhaust is fully impacting the car. Absolutely zero clearance. (Angle 1)


The exhaust is fully impacting the car. Absolutely zero clearance. (Angle 2)

Major bummer, but Darren was an incredible help throughout the entire process putting on the exhaust and then reinstalling the OEM. I just stood there and drooled most of the time. :P
