Update:My front bumper came in today. And since I pulled my mud flaps off I had to go and find the trim pieces that go in their place. After looking around the house I gave up and went to the junkyard and lucked out and found these on an '03 and sure enough they fit even though the fenders are different
Not bad for $20. Also just checked and my Exhaust arrived in Atlanta today.
Looks like i will have a busy weekend.

Thanks man. i sent them an email. I bought it on ebay and it says that their return policy is that I pay for shiping but since i just want to get the right one and not return as this was a mistake on their part i sent them an email saying i wasn't paying for shipping this thing back or the new one.

Well here are the pictures from the teardown last night.

looks cold in that garage, cuz i dont see no HEATER!
It's actually not that cold it was 20 degrees outside last night and it was like 50-60 in the garage so it wasn't to bad. the real problem was that between it being so cold and the car being 7 years old 2 of the 5 screws snapped their heads. the rest i did very slowly with lots of wd-40. rust FTMFL.
I'm still pissed about my intake being the wrong one.

Epic Foxbody Thread Crew Member #10Originally Posted by AlanŽ

thank you i appreciate it. Got a lot of work today so. I just got up gonna go get a shower and get this intake in and then ill start on the exhaust once it gets a little warmer.
Epic Foxbody Thread Crew Member #10Originally Posted by AlanŽ
Just got done with the intake. And overall it wasn't too bad but the coupler's were almost too ****ing small. Took me and my dad to stretch one of them so that it would go on to the MAF sensor but it's on now.

but they are online all over best bet is to find a site that has free shipping, because they are all about the same price.. 45-50$. google "intake air bypass valve"
well i'm putting my exhaust on right now and we are having problems breaking the bolts so. hopefully we get everything broken soon.

Have anyone put the 3000gt twin cam n/a or twin turbo into a 3rd gen
92 mx3
i think they have on the na but the TT motors no way to expensive.
so after spending the entire afternoon and night we were only able to get the axleback portion of the exhaust off. the midpipe bolts are so rusted it's not even funny. we have tried everything. we just took a torch to them and then sprayed them down with penetrating oil and it still didn't break loose. we sprayed them down again and are going to let it set overnight. if it doesn't work I will be driving the car with only the mid pipe up to he dealership to let them have at it.if anyone has any more ideas please chime in.
