Steven is right!!!! 3-5 hours!!! only for the intake!!! grin . I installed it today, in the freezing temp. took me around 4+ hours. The hardest part was getting the bumper off, the stock intake, and reaching into tiny places to unscrewded bolts. grin .

QUESTION: How would I know whether everything is correct, and nothing will happen? As of now: No check engine light, no nasty smell, just a hissing sound when i turned off my engine. I also check all the clamps and tighten real tight. anything else i should check?
thumbsup or thumbsdown

I live on North Lake Shore Dr. between Addison and Waveland... That's the 3600 block... Definately, it'd be cool to meet up and work on our cars.

I go to my brother in Elgin then down to Chicago. Any mod on your car yet? When are you planning to install your springs? and what kind of springs do you have? I got Eibach Pro-kit. And do you have all the necessary equipments? I got 2 jackstands and 2 hydraulic jacks (that's it grin ). Other equipments, i think i'm gonna rent.

If you are serious, I will go home to get my tools... I just moved here from Mich. I have one hydraulic jack, two jack stands, torque wrench, and other misc. stuff. We need to rent a spring compressor from Autozone. Its free to rent so, no prob there... Maybe we should write a suspension install, I haven't seen one on this site. I need to look up the torque specs for our suspension too...

Or we can do it @ your place or wherever there are free space. My brother will helps too, he's all about it grin . I will only available sometimes Saturday or Sunday (i work & have clases). Let me know before hand when or we can do on spring break ( i'll asked a few days off work grin ). Installing springs ain't easy, more help the merrier. so let me know or hit me up @ AIM = m3 n u
