LOL! I was born into a family of car enthusiasts, so I naturally got into cars. Though, I seem to be the only one that gravitated to 4 cylinder cars. I enjoy the feeling of accomplishment when I install a part myself and working on cars is oddly therapeutic for me. Plus, I'm also a cheapskate who refuses to pay somebody else to work on my car when I can simply do the research, ask questions, and work on it myself. Despite the testosterone battles that rage here sometimes, this forum is full of highly skilled and knowledgeable people, and I owe many of them thanks. As for the X-47, I'm very excited about it, and I cant wait for it to get here!
Yeah, I HATE that heat shield, as I've removed it before when I installed my IWG. So I'm not looking forward to doing it again. As for the o2 sensors, I got a good deal on a set of new ones, so I went ahead and purchased them, along with all the gaskets I would need for this install and the 3 DP to turbo bolts, just in case the threads stripped or something. For removal of the top one which seems to be the most troublesome one, I have an o2 socket, lots of extensions, and a 24" breaker bar on 1/2" drive. It's gonna come out, one way or another. LOL! Please keep making the excellent (and funny) videos!
