I ordered the unicorn semen aka Porsche Coolant. I purchased the "rainbows and sunshine" variety of rainbows. Will I have a negative experience if it's not the original "Rainbow" variety? M96 experts tell me I MUST use the sunshine additive or I may as well start counting my days till the engine goes.

I loosened the bolts and clamps that hold the muffler to the main output piping. Amazingly enough, i didn't strip them or break them off(I don't think they've ever been loosened since factory installation). I've been reading up on maybe doing a muffler delete, but don't really feel like spending any money until I know if I'll like it, so i thought i would see if I could create a gap, I would get a feel for what it sounds like. Unfortunately, I was unable to create a gap without actually removing the muffler, so I put the bolts back on. Exciting stuff, I know...

Pop off the IMSB grease seal, rms, clutch and then the fuel rails, wire harness, intake and runners put back on.
I really hope to be mounting the motor next Monday.
