Yeah that was an odd one. I guess it is a Mitsubishi FTO? Something we never got here. Its really odd walking around and only recognizing maybe 1 out of 5 cars.

Oh ok, yeah i've heard of those. Probably from a driving/video game.

That would be an odd experience. So much of what us car people do is regularly looking and identifying cars and their characteristics. Be like almost having to learn another language lol

I only came really close 1 time. Definitely had to duck quite a bit though.

Yeah I didn't really see any marks on your forehead so you managed pretty good I guess, even when out drinking

That FTO sort-of looks like a Supra. Nice pics!

Yeah it makes me think of the FRS/BRZ in a lot of ways.

Ok so I started to install the ASM header and figured I would take a few pictures to compare things. The T1R and Berk test pipe are for sale BTW is anyone is interested.

Top is T1R bottom is ASM

I decided that since I have the ASM titanium exhaust that it was the right time to pick up a Tomei titanium test pipe. The price is surprisingly affordable considering it is titanium and tapers from the header to the exhaust size. Very happy with it.
Top is the berk bottom is the Tomei

Now the T1R header dropped right out really easily. The ASM however did not want to fit so for the first time I had to remove the passenger side motor mount to get the header in there. I just moved the mount to the side and the header slid right in no problem. As I was pulling it up to bolt it to the head I noticed a growing pool of oil or some kind of fluid on the ground. Great what the heck did I do. So pull the mount all the way out to find the top is totally cracked open. Soooooo now I'm ordering new mounts. Hopefully they get here quickly. I also ordered a new heat shield that should look nicer than the OEM and match my engine bay better.
