would we need to rent a spring compressor? i think that'll make the much easier.

and oh yeah, if someone can get me an OEM header gaskets and a y-pipe gasket that'll be awesome. or if someone has a extra pair, that would be cool too. i wont have time to get them since i'll be comin in on friday night. i'll pay you back if you do.

i can bring some extra wrenches and whatnot.

You dont have the gasket for the header to ypipe? I am not sure if the OEM one will work with your setup. But I dont know much about headers. What brand of headers/ypipe do you have again?

I have the header gasket and the ypipe to bpipe gasket, that will work. I will just have to go buy another one, another time. If no one else is going to help out in buying you the gaskets.

Or you can call Lexus of Bellevue and talk to Eric in parts. He can give you a discount and they are open on Saturdays. If you need, he can leave it at the front desk for you.

well i have 2 gaskets for the header to y-pipe that came with my header, i just didn't know if i should use them or get OEM. i have alphawerks header, but i'm gonna be using my stock ypipe.

i won't need the y to b-pipe gasket. deek, are the header gaskets you have OEM? if so, is it cool if i just use yours, then later on next week i'll pick one up from lexus of bellevue, then drive it to you? i think i'll be goin down to lacey to pick up something anyways.

if not, shoot me a PM with that eric dude's name and number.

Yep, the header gasket is OEM. If you cant pick it up by Saturday morning on the way up to Matt's house. Then you can use the one that I have

Looks like I'll have less to do then I planned on that day. My trim seems like it's been getting worse day by day and I couldnt take it anymore so I fixed it yesterday. At least I still have visors to put on. Hopefully my curtains/neckpads show up in time but doubtful.

When are you guys doing this?

I'll be home next week (Federal Way) and would be down to help, or just chill.

PM the details or what'not. We can chat about Wazzu.

I have some things that I can add to the DIY list.

Install LED's in my doors and dome light.
Maybe cut open my tails and get them painted.

Mark, are you still going to install your headers tomorrow?
