I just received mine today. I've just got to find some time to install it without the SO knowing. I don't hear complaints about me spending more time and money on my car than on her.
Did you drop a 1.8 into a 93?? Did I miss a thread describing that?Originally Posted by Adam Payrot
Also, the guy on the phone at Rspeed said the heat shield is cosmetic and pretty much optional. Did u leave that on?
He also said to wipe it down with brake fluid and get it clean before you fire it up and bake on the greasy fingerprints from installation, which will then never come off.... (Probably common knowledge to most here, but I wouldn't have thought of it)

That is nice to know. I never thought of that before. I have always either lived with the finger prints or used clean rags when handling a new header.
I haven't made it "public" I guess you could say. Yes, I have been putting a 1.8 into a 93. There are quite a few other things I've been doing too, hopefully tomorrow I can pick up a dremel and a few cut-off wheels and whatnotDid you drop a 1.8 into a 93?? Did I miss a thread describing that?

I will probably use the heatshield as it sort of ties in w/ a few of the other parts that I have been putting into the car or will be putting in soon. Guess it wouldn't hurt to have it in there either as my filter will practically sit on top of it.
The car should make some decent power after I get the last (and hardest to find part at this point) part. I'll dyno it sometime in the next month or so and post the results. I'm also looking forward to seeing how much power I'll be making WAY up top
