  - so how high does the body of the car need to go up before it clears the motor? nm DanNY (91SE) 10:43:47 9/09/2002 (13)
    - Higher than your average Jackstand. :( nm Matt (93SE) 11:32:39 9/09/2002 (12)

          - That Tial looks added on. Did you go from an internal to external? --> Jeff92se (92se) 17:38:07 9/09/2002 (3)
            - Uses an adapter between the mani and turbo... Jacob ('93 SE) 17:54:08 9/09/2002 (2)

                - Ah thanks. Some of the pics were taking along time to load. I can't do it that way rats n/m Jeff92se (92se) 18:04:58 9/09/2002 (0)
      - I raised mine pretty high. Front = aro 4ft / Rear = aro 3 ft. --> Jeff92se (92se) 12:07:27 9/09/2002 (4)
        - That's why I'm thinking of pulling it from the top.. --> Matt (93SE) 13:14:44 9/09/2002 (3)
          - i might bite the bullet and get a cherry picker and go from the top..tranny and engine..ugh! nm DanNY (91SE) 13:17:11 9/09/2002 (2)
            - Either way, you're going to have to rent something unless you have a HD pulley/cherry picker n/m Jeff92se (92se) 13:56:09 9/09/2002 (1)

- well separating the trans might be more of a PITA while in the bay..nm DanNY (91SE) 10:27:24 9/09/2002 (1)
  - No, separating the engine from the tranny is a piece of piss. nm Uncle Pete (89 SE) 12:20:06 9/09/2002 (0)
