I think the moral of the story is... avoid ebay! But hey, you appear to know what you're doing for the most part (trust me, without detailed instructions, I would have done it upside- down myself). Me, I'm more like a Lego kinda guy. Everything snaps together with colored pictures as instructions (no hard words to read) that most 3rd graders can figure out.

Yea I ripped that lower up... I think at this point my FMIC install counts as weight reduction. I mean it def isn't the best looking thing in the world, but not that bad.. but its not done and I honestly think its coming together "okay".. I'll keep posting pictures as it.... improves?

O and getting the car that high involved a bunch of solid concrete blocks, 2x8 planks, jack stands next to the blocks, and lots of time jacking up each corner of the car. I'm also replacing the trans..

I seen that "lift" you had there and thought it was a great idea!

Thanks just make sure to use solid blocks and not cinder blocks... and screw the wood blocks on top in. It has been sitting like this for months and is rock solid.. Its the only way I felt safe getting under the car to pull the trans.
