Was there any of the things I listed wrong with yours?

[wallace78]

Which shock and spring is it? Also which engine? Just curious. Rear shocks and springs are quite easy to replace. I have not tried fronts yet but bought some spring compressors last year.

As for the manifold, I haven't tried to do one. If it were my car, I probably would, though.

mate you own a vec, you should be used to this by now

to be fair you should really get 1 and 3 sorted anyway

Definatly 1 & 3, thats basic's, I guess 2 may effect the smoke test but thats just a guess.
