    Alright, so...I bought a TON of parts to begin really modding my car. I'm not very mechanically inclined at all but I had a friend that's real good with this stuff especially the GPs and actually ran his own shop for a bit that was gunna help me out...but...I took too long to get the parts together and now he took off for college. So now I have:
    -Topswap
    -180 T-stat
    -3" DP
    -High Flow Cat
    -Full Dynomax Exhaust
    And have no way of actually getting it all on the car. Please don't post comments telling me to just do it myself, because I know I'll **** it up, which would usually be ok so I can learn but this is my DD so I can't afford to do that.
    Im in McHenry, IL if there's anyone around that can help me out, I have no problem compensating you well for your time. Thanks.

    I'll have to look up how much that'd cost. Where are you located?
    Yes I do, all gaskets and fluids are here. I was ready to do it then the guy took off on me.

    Yeah it is, plus my head gaskets and LIM are fried so this needs to be done regardless of the power increase. If you're serious and it wont cost more than a few hundred I'll do it..

    Do you have a pcm tune or a way to tune? tq wrench? breaker bar? harmonic balancer puller? all tq to yield bolts?

    Alright, wanna try and find a cheap set of round trip tickets, or give me your zip code and I'll look around?
    Tune - Yes. FastKatt.
    Tq wrench - Probably. I have a very large random assortment of tools.
    The last three im not sure.

    Haha, If I had $ I'd be down.

    Went to disney about 4 times the past 2 months, so I'm broke.. and was just up in NC for a week.

    I'm pretty much stuck for a while now.

    This is getting interesting. Plan for about 3 days to do the job, let me know what you want to do. If a local chimes in and would do it, i wouldn't be heartbroken or anything. Just to bad we don't live closer

    Yeah if you lived close it'd make things easier but what can ya do, when are you available? I was hoping to get this done asap because I've got bad gaskets and lim.

    preferably on a weekend, if im gonna be goin out there, prolly fly out on a Thursday or something, and go home Sunday. The only problem is, if we run into some sort of problem and it takes some extra time and i have to get back to the airport to get on the plane, then that leaves you stuck with an opened up car.

    That brings me to my next question. Do you have a good impact gun?
