update
huzzah time for an update.
its been a fun 2 days off from work. After living in my new house for a month i finally got to use my garage.
so i pulled her in and took the hood, headlights, bumper and grill off.
safety first, jack-stands and tires in place
then i took out the radiator, hoses, short ram and header. while these were all out i also installed my Mishimoto Thermostat.
now that the DC sports header was out it was time to install the PLM RMF replica header.
painted my short ram, A/C U bracket and overflow brackets black. also threaded a 10mm bolt into the short ram where the hose off the V.C. went to in order to plug it up. Then i replaced and rerouted the T.B. coolant hose.
to end the day off i installed the Mishimoto radiator hoses, 2 core aluminum radiator w/ 12" slim fan and called it a night.
then the next day...
got everything back together and started the car up, short vid of it on cold start.
