Mike Posted January 2 Author Share #8 Posted January 2 For me, the list is small but complex: Find and install a rebuilt brake switch distribution valve Install higher temp brake fluid (damn headers are too hot) Buy and install a Mikuni heat block shield (again, headers) Buy and install Nismo electric fuel pump and bracket m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That gives a signal when there is brake unbalance? If no one has one i think i can restore you one and send it to you. (Note that spareparts are expensive overhere.. as it is a small part the shipping should not be to awful.. Also at the moment i'm slower than a snail..)

Yarb Posted January 3 Share #11 Posted January 3 Mine were reasonable $425 for header & collector. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted January 3 Share #12 Posted January 3 If he decides to go through the trouble of getting his installed header coated, these folks do MSA's work. http://www.embeeperformance.com/ they're a little closer. Ask me how I know??? This was on my front porch, damaged. I contacted Joseph at MSA and we figured out that Embee sent them the coated headers in a flimsy box by the pallet load. His shipping guys weren't re boxing them and sent mine across the country in pretty much a paper bag. So good communication worked again, problem solved. I got another one shipped ASAP without anything but sincere apologies. Great Z supplier! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
