What did you do today to your 3/S?

Which begs the question what other parts are different lengths. I suspect the downpipe is longer than the USDM one. Looks like I won't be ordering a downpipe online and will have to get one custom made. Anyway cut the cat shorter. Mate will collect tomorrow to weld up.

Wouldn't it be easier to cut the cat back to a shorter length and put the flange on it?

Breaker bar and a bump .. works like a charm.
New 3SX lightweight drive pulley installed.
Also ordered two new rain seals that mount where the doorl meets and seals the window from rainwater.
Front clip on the drivers side door was broken when I took it out of the plastic.
Wonder how much trouble this will be to find solution?

I began fixing the damaged DS front seat's lower trim piece and cleaned up the leather some more on both front seats.

Not when the car is on jack stands and that would require taking the car to an exhaust shop. I have already cut the cat to the right length. Just need it welded. Far easier if you ask me.
