is there an easy to follow write-up available for the dreaded oil pan pull? I don't need to do it to mine yet, but if the process is not too difficult, if like to try it. Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Really clean engine you have there! I like the look of those headers. At times I do get a bit impatient and just want to get everything wrapped back up as soon as possible, but think I'll wait and order the intake/manifold bolts and possibly a set of headers and downpipe combo Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

easy pry with bar and a few taps with rubber mallet releases the exhaust manifold from the block. Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

just checked my intake/manifold and it looks like it only requires 15 bolts. I guess the 17 piece kit is to accomodate other years? zcardepot.com/stainless-steel-bolt-kits/engine-kits/intake-and-exhaust-manifold-stainless-steel-stud-kit.html Sent from my LG-D850 using Z Car Club mobile app

so no need for a heat shield between your aftermarket headers and intake manifold? Sent from my LG-D850 using Z Car Club mobile app

do you already have motor tramny mounts for the s2000 setup Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

what's the consensus on the benefit of headers? at this point it would be super easy to add them. Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

but now I have to wait for a new gasket to arrive. the one I ordered was delivered in bubble wrap, so suffice to say, it has bent and contorted beyond use Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Hey are there any Z Tech Days (usually weekend day where Z enthusiasts get together to help each other do or finish a half-day/day project) in the northern California area?
-
Yeah take it step-by-step, and you'll get there. Keep us updated on what the body shop results show. As far as forum talk; take the good with the bad and just keep working towards your goal. Everyone has an opinion, and just as unhelpful as some of the posts are, there are more helpful posts.

It will take a good methodical approach to detemine the issue: looking at each corner suspension component, connecting links, bars (along with a manual for the car) and see if every piece is in proper working rder.
-
One suggestion if you have the time, and want to try, is to swap the Left/Right side suspension and see if that creates the same lopsided height; just reversed now.
-
The level of a car is mostly determined by the quality and type of springs. The springs are what determine vehicle height, not shocks. If you question that, then ask yourself why springs are cut to lower cars instead of changing to shorter springs. That said; worn out shocks can cause sag - a 1"sag? Possible I suppose.

SteveJ, I wasn't aware there was a NorCal group. Thank you for the info!

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I'm going to give both places a call.
