Seriously.. As if lining up the dp's to the manifolds isn't hard enough, they decided to throw in some challenges. First off, the studs in the manifolds are not studs, they're loose bolts. And on top of that, the flanges on the dp's are loose (as in not welded in place.) So even if you get the flange lined up properly, it still might just push the bolts out the other side (which is almost impossible to reach, unless you squirm your way under the car. I mean c'mon! Makes me want to beat the car with a fvckin sledgehammer. <end rant>

Default Things will never come apart as easily as they go together in the factory.

Oh, and your post made me think of this:

We just want to pump you up.

Default My overall experience is they come apart easy...

..putting it back together requires Japanese technology---small hands &amp; patience.

Default Update: With the help of my sister ( :P ) I was able to get the car back together.

Now that I'm done dealing with that ****, I'm going to install my spacers. That should hopefully improve my mood a little
