Hell yeah it is good, for $17.99 it is boss. I use the hell out of it... it is holding up really good. I use it most of the time on my bay... I use my air die grinder for hard to reach spots, but the grinder is great. Defintely worth the money and if it ever takes a dump on me I will be right back there to get another!
Sweet good to know i made a good purchase...haha
Should be trying it out tomorrow or wednesday.
I took my oil pan to wash it at school, so i could get the AN fitting on there for my return line, but then i realised how banged up it is.. its so banged up that you can see a print of were the bottom of the pan hit the oil sump. I'll snap some pictures of it tomorrow. It actually took the paint off the inside of the oil pan...
DAMAGE. haha
So im gonna make a trip to the junk yard tomorrow hopefully and see if i can get a better oil pan. Any D SERIES should be the same... right?
If i cant find one i'll probably have to try and straightend the bottom of my pan..
We'll see.

I have a question might be a stupid one... How would i torque My manifold bolts, if i cant get a socket with a wrench in there?
EDIT:
I almost got the Intercooler to fit underneath the bumper.. Gonna take a bit more trimming and stiff, but its coming out pretty good. That Grinder from harbor freight kicks ***.


This was before i did some trimming. It looks much better now, but Im still not satisfied with it yet. lol

Told you it is a nice grinder lol. Which mani bolts are you unable to get to? When it comes to tools I get all excited haha... get a set of swivel sockets. My personaly favorite are Matco 3/8" impact swivels (http://www.matcotools.com/Catalog/to...select=&page=6). Most people wouldn't justify spending that much for sockets... but me on the other hand... well I spend to much on tools lets put it that way. But even a Craftsman or Harbor Freight will work... if anything just get a universal joint and slap that on the socket, give you some extra angle. Just make sure you torque in a criss cross pattern as if you are tightening head bolts/studs so that the manifold sits evenly.
By the way... did you put in ARP head studs? I forsee possible problems in the future if you didn't.

Well i have a little swivel adaptor thing, but once i put it on my socket it doesnt clear =/
Thats another thing i was gonna ask about, Head studs. You think they will be neccesary for low boost i'll be runnning?
When i was at summit i asked if they had some ARP head studs and they didnt =/
And putting them in... I would probably have to take the car to my dad's friend house to see if he can do it for me. Not sure if im ready to put in my head bolts in myself...

I would HIGHLY recommend head studs no matter what. You will have a good chance of blowing through headgaskets with out them, I don't even have any boost even close to being on my car and I got a set for mine right away. I got mine for $98 shipped on eBay. And there's got to be a way to get to the bolt, you might have to pull the turbo and bolt the manifold on, then bolt the turbo back on.
Your right i'll probably get them after i get my exhaust on. before getting tunned.
I'll talk to my dads friend, hopefully he'll help me do it for free...LOL
Lemee go snap a pic of what im talking about real quick. (the bolts)
