okay first things first what motor do you have under the hood. If its a stock motor your strut bar won't fit unless you bought the one for the 1.5L motor that goes around the throttle body. The mini breather not exactly sure where that goes you have to ask one of the pros for that. That strut bar will however fit if there is a zc motor or si motor under the hood. That weird fuel injection on the 1.5 L makes it hard to fit the bar it is practically impossible. Get the engine swap or the other bar and everything will be all good, by the way which company is the bar from ?? I have to wait to mount mine on until i get the zc put in, however i did install my bar on the rear looks cool Any other questions let me know

You got something you dont know where it goes?

I dunno how to explain where it is

Its located on the block, somewhere near the dipstick?


I heard a breather does nothing, but Ken has one on his old dragger.

Um.. you might not want to install that breather.. It's actually an emissions issue and you can get a nice ticket for that. If you didn't know already. I'm sure it's a standard PACER price of $110.

Yup, what he said.

Actually I heard of someone that got one of these tickets and the fine was upwards of $300+.

Instead of having the crank case vapurs re-introduced into the combustion process, they escape through the breather and introduce pollution to our lovely green citys In other words, it's emissions that can't be measured, plus it stinks... Hence, breather = bad
