@aristo, Check out this thread, it will help you out a ton! http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73146
I did not have a lift so that slowed the process down. Also, the gaskets come with the Tomei headers. Good luck! |

The install is cake, the only difficulty involved is loosening bolts -- mine came free without issue except for one of the o2 sensors.
Total install took me maybe 30-45 minutes using 2 jack stands. It would have been quicker if I didn't have to soak o2 sensor/bolt in wd40. |

I replaced the front and rear flashers, front and rear side markers, LP lights, reverse lights, dome light, and vanity lights with LED's from GTR Lighting. The flashers look much cleaner because the LED's are chrome looking until they flash amber. Makes the head light assemblies look crystal clear.

Started to dislike the license plate being off to the side (see here), so with my amazing fab skills I cut and bent a couple pieces of aluminum (because lightweight because racecar!!1) and put it in the middle:
![]() ![]() Couple more pics: http://imgur.com/a/SWR9k I did add bolts to the top holes to gussy it up since taking the pics. Had to drill some scary big holes to fit the 1/4-20 rubber nut inserts I sourced from Home Depot, but it sure worked nicely. Just need to decide if I want to sell my Grimmspeed plate relocation kit now... |

Finally disconnected my stock axleback from my midpipe. Can't believe how rusted the bolts were for such a young car.
Ratchet started to strip the nuts. Air ratchet would not budge, with torch used for heat. So I spent the best $25 ever. Screw the bolts ![]() ![]() Anyone have similar experience? I bought a catback, so I was glad the spring bolts weren't seized. |

Started coating the car with Optimum Gloss Coat.
Wish they still sold opticoat 2.0, but we'll see how this holds up. 2 years would be nice Application is much easier than I thought. I only did the trunk and bumper for now. The rest of the car needs hours of buffing, so I'll do the rest in a few weeks. I'll review when I finish. Just hoping to protect the car for the winter |
