As the title states i sold my baby today.. Ive owned it since 2001. It will be missed, especially since the guy that bought it lives in my town so ill still see it every now and then. Maybe one day ill get back in the seat of a toyota but it will prolly a mr2. I still have all my 3s engine stuff that i havnt decided if i wanna sell yet. I might hold on to it for now just incase i find someone selling a shell for cheap. But i hate to leave this community cause this is a good forum board, all the people that are nice, as far as i know, and most everyone gets along. Ill prolly check back in every now and then to see whats goin on but for the most part im outa here. Peace everyone.

everything that is in the post is correct and thats the way it was when i got my header too. i just drilled out the bolts holes ofr the downpipe.

as for the gasket what i did is take a small saw blade and make like 8, 1/4 inch cuts all the way around, and then i took a pair of pliers and i rolled it back. thus making the hole bigger. its worked great on mine and celiracer's car too. i installed his too. hope this helps.

the main reason i sold my car is that im like alot of people, i have debt that needs to get paid, and there was a guy that wanted to buy on of my 4 cars that i own, and he wanted the most reliable one and looked the nicest. he offered me a little less than what i wanted but we met in the middle. so it was a deal. i didnt even really want to sell it but money talks. he wanted to buy one of my civics but all 3 of them currently have their own issues so my celica was the only one that would have worked for him.

Thanks dude! The gasket advice is great b/c that way I don't have to smash the gasket down when I bolt up and wonder how it de-formed around the end of the downpipe.

Good luck with your Civics. You could take the best parts from all three and make one healthy Civic lol. We have a 2007 Civic Hybrid and I love it...not fast, but it feels luxurious compared to the Celi biggrin.gif But the pick up on it is surprising as long as you don't smash the accelerator too hard.
