    The drift stitching builds its character. That's what you need to tell yourself after any damage. Lmao

    Nice! Turns out PO hollowed out the cat and I can't get her to pass without one now that I have fixed all my exhaust leaks. Figured I would finish up the rest of the exhaust and have a flowmaster and tip installed as well.

    Stock wires are a tad short for the LCE wire loom but sill and improvement.

    Where does your pcv hose go to? I have a breather filter on the front crank vent and the pcv goes into the air filter box for my weber.

    It's the same with the live wires. You might want to try putting the wires on the other side. A little cleaner and might give you the slack you need.

    I have no idea why my PCV is run like that. Looks like it feeds back into the intake manifold?

    Yes, PCVs generally should feed back into the intake manifold somewhere - basically pulls gasses back into the intake to burn off, among other things.

    I believe the LCE description states the stock wires are going to be too short, surprised you got that to fit since they mention it specifically.
    PO of my truck splurged for the LCE pro wires (at least I think they are - they're red and say Magnecor on them). They don't really look that much longer than your wires aside from Cyl#1's wire, which I know loops up to that wire separator thingy before coming down to the spark plug.

    Wow one of my biggest fears along with wrecking. I was hoping thieves would want nothing to do with these old 2wd mini truck. Hope it gets found and is not in Mexico.

    Omg. Im glad you got her back. How bad is the mess up?

    I recommend getting a removable steering wheel. It turns most thieves away that just want to joy ride. And since our truck can be started with a screw driver and getting inside the cabin all is needed is a coat hanger. You need to start thinking about anti theft methods.

    After my truck got broken in for the 4th time and the start key lock broken. The nail file found inside the lock that they tried to start it with. I got the removable steering wheel lock. I take of all the time even at grocery stores. Lucky for me, it took me a while to get a good working starter, the truck will turn for a good minute before it cranked over on a cold engine so the thief that tried to start it gave up on trying to take it. Now I have an alarm, the removable steering wheel, and a kill switch. You really need to want it to take it. But the removeable steering wheel turns 90% of thieves away. Just my 2 cents. It sucks to put this much energy and money into a project just to lose it.
