Continued the scorched earth baseline all Mr T OEM
- Steering rack and tie rods
- Front LCA
- Front UCA
- CVs
- Diff mounts
- Calipers all four corners
- Brake booster assembly
- Races and bearings
- Hub flanges

Some aftermarket stuff too I guess
- Slee brake lines
- DBA Rotors
- DBA Pads
- Trail Tailor sway mounts

Very surprising how smooth it is now. Brakes bite hard and no more goose sounds from the master.
 
I brought my first 100 series home from the delivery truck today.

Shout out to @Riverrunner for excellent customer service and execution.

How it started....

Time to get rid of that annoying exhaust manifold tick!

My lord those are so pretty!!! I just installed a set of headers at work for a 16 GT350 Mustang. It was extremely difficult, but much tighter space. These have to be easier. It's a very tedious and slow going job. Turning the nuts 1/4 turn at a time while smashing your fingers lol.

The custom turbo manifold on my car has wrenches/sockets Ive modified to take it on and off. Shaved down box end wrenches, wrenches cut down, wrenches bent, sockets shaved down to be ultra thin.......what a nightmare lol Headers on the 100 has to be easier

Seems like it can get pretty difficult based on what I've read around here. Once you get the right combination of extensions / swivels to even get a socket on there, then you have to pray they come loose without breaking or rounding off especially if your dealing with any level of rust.

It's definitely a can of worms. Sometimes it goes smooth, sometimes it can take 3x longer than expected!

At work today I began pulling the engine out of this 100 series. It was surprisingly very easy, compared to the 80 series. After a couple hours, it's ready to yank out.
