Well the s/c will be here some time today. So I decided to start on it earlier by removing everything up to taking the intake off. I thought it would be easy and so I started on removing the front facia. Well 2 hours later and it's off. lol NO lie, that thing was a pain in the butt. I didn't take any pics or video, since it is straight forward. It's just getting access to some of the bolts and nuts. I did video where the highest nut is on the facia and luckily they were just hand tightened. But one bolt (on each side) has a piece of hard plastic covering about 1/6th of the bolt, so getting a socket on the bolt was fun-not really. When I go to install I'm going to cut a notch in the hard plastic-which does NOTHING-so I can tighten the bolt easily.
Then getting access to the support brackets attaching the intake to the block was tricky too. I bought an assortment of fasteners and I'm glad I did, I've broken quite a few.
Oh that reminds me.. who's damn brilliant idea was it to use rivet fasteners on the fender splash guard. I broke every single one. I first had to pry it out a little so I could use my cutters and cut the thing in half. I marred up my drivers side fender corner a little, that pisses me off.
So I started around 1545 and finished around 2100 hrs. And I just changed my pcm -which again- was in the tightest place ever. But I'm going to bed soon.
Tomorrows plan, is to drain the coolant.
If anyone has any questions, I'm glad to answer them. On wednesday I will finish removing the intake and replacing the injectors and then install begins. So part two will be that night-hopefully. Or thursday. Thanks for reading.
