Or so I thought.  Apparently it's been decided that I'm going to be working this whole week, aka my spring break.  It's kind of good and bad, the extra money would really help me out immensely, but I did have plans other than work that I now have to abandon.  Oh well...
So annnnnyway, Sunday, I did a quick little oil change to the tC using nothing but the best (in America), Royal Purple.  Went out to Ontario Mills to sell my SC wing that I had lying in my room for probably over half a year.  Came back and started working on the SC as I had planned to do this week. 
So for a while now, I've been doing a little project on the SC just for the  hell of it and for a bit of maintenance, which consisted of me taking the whole intake/throttle body/ intake runners off so that I could clean the insides of the pipes, throttle body, and also to get to my IACV which the prev. owner or someone that worked on it had completely stripped the screws to.
I took off the throttle body and thoroughly cleaned the hell out of it
The inside of that and the butterfly valve used to be completely brown from the carb buildup, as you'll see with the intake mani.
Y-pipe:
That was actually after a bit of cleaning...
and then:
All that on the rims of the openings is sealant that I have now wiped off because I bought brand new gaskets for a reason.
Aaaand so I shot the SOB with throttle body cleaner, and it made improvements.
Never knew there were butterfly valves inside of these mani's.  See? this all wasn't a huge waste of time. +1 for me
Now that i was pretty satisfied with my work, I started putting it together, and before I knew it,
I was pretty much done.  I just have to go over it tomorrow and check connections, and find out why the hell I have 2 leftover nuts (that's not what she said).  And as it sits.. and has been sitting for probably way over a month now,
