On that T3 manifold pictured above they all connect to that nipple closest to the head, sticking up at the camera, but I don't know where that would go from there on a stock car.

I'd like to see that RX7 jack. Less weight while still having a spare tire? This is a mod that all of us can enjoy.

Found out my speedometer reads between 4 to 6 MPH slow.

Your odometer may be more off than that. You could very well be getting 50 MPG on a regular basis when accurately evaluated.

My speedos are all significantly slow in all my metros, including those with the right size tires... Gas gauges are all bad too...

The VSS reads correctly. The odo seems to be accurate.

Head still at shop.

Found out that Maryland"Safety" inspection failed to tighten the lugnuts after putting the wheel back on. Almost lost the wheel.

I am full of rage.

Oh, that's just grand. They make you bring your car in to inspect for something that is none of their damned business, and create a severe safety problem that was not there before. Your tax dollars at rest.

I could start a whole thread on the absurdity of things I've run into at MD inspections.

And a whole forum on my tax dollars :/

Start a thread on that,
I'll give you some observations from the other side of the wrench.
I was a licensed inspector for the Commonwealth of VA. from 1978 to 2008. (The inspection manual went from about 1/2 inch thick to 2 1/2 inches)
I've seen a lot, sometimes thought I had seen it all,
-------------BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
then something new and exciting comes along.
JM is and inspector for PA. I am sure he has some good ones as well.
