Milltek install pics...Finally got off my butt... (Radiator too now...)

P-Car Milltek exhaust day.
Old stuff off...

Headers going on

Couldn't get the exhaust on without removing the bumper cover.

S2000 is a shelf

So is the little Deere...

Need some tips.

Done.

Looks clean! My exhaust appears to be hanging lower than yours and has a lot of heat dis-coloring. Wonder if that buffs out...

Just fired it up, warmed it up and it sounds great. Got it hot, I'll now let it cool completely and recheck torques.
Now I remember when I parked it I smelled antifreeze up front.
After warm up, more new smell. Can't see any weeping, but it's probably the rads...
More parts, more wrenching...

Is that the stock exhaust tip placement? They look to be sticking out a bit (leftside moreso in the pics; maybe it's just the angle).

Yeah, they stick out about 3/4" from stock.
It's the angle. I measured them to make them exact even...

Best to replace all three at the same time. With all the effort it takes to access the radiator, might as well replace the others too. They are just going to leak eventually anyway.

Radiators not a bad job.
Prices are all over the board. Suncoast, who are usually my preferred vendor, are the highest priced on this part.
Who do you guys source a drivers side radiator from ?

I've bought plenty of parts from Pelican. They usually are reasonably priced and parts come very fast usually within a couple of days.
