To make installing headers fun.

But what is fun is making my wife start the car with no exhaust!

Damn, between the tubular K memeber and fancy UMI motor mounts, my headers literally fall out. Had to put some header studs on my car so they could hang and not fall to the ground when I unbolt them.

The stock K member is an engineering marvel. The engineers of that piece must have been really proud of their design. They somehow managed to designs a piece that not only supports the engine and the front suspension, it also manages to catch every single nut or bolt or tool that I drop. It truely is amazing. I swear if I dropped a bolt while working on the rear end, I would find it sitting on the cross member.

Funny but I had a similar experience once with a 3rd gen. I was replacing the cap and rotor once and the socket fell off and disappeared. Could not find it anywhere. I figured my buddy found it and moved it back at some point. But anyways, I got the job done and a few months later sold the car to a friend. About 6 months later we pulled the engine and afterwards I was looking at the top of the transmission as it was still mounted in the car. I noticed that there was something shiney on top of the trans. I reached in and grabbed it, and discovered the deep wall socket I had lost almost a year earlier. It had somehow gotten wedged between the transmission and the trans tunnel of the car and stayed there for countless miles. Magic I tell ya.
