Another Update - 3.15.12
Today i got up early (10:30 am...lol) went to town on this beast:
Installed the new exhaust manifold gasket with some copper coat:
I then installed a new pilot bearing in the sr and a new throwout bearing in the tranny and proceeded to the install of the motor.
I like installing the tranny separately because its easier to scratch the paint when installing them together.
so i proceeded to install the tranny...on the floor...alone...with a jack = pimp status...
Once the tranny was on and ready to bolt down i went home and got the avid mount to find out that the holes are too small on the stock crossmember??? no problem tho, i drilled the holes alittle and BOOM!
Heres a sneak peak of my new drift spares...can anyone guess what they are???
I also hit the oem heat shield with a wire wheel on my drill and it looks...well not that great, i might paint it white but idk yet
I also worked inside the car on plug in all the wires and ziptie-ing them in place.
Ill finish up the wiring tomorrow, test fit the dash, and install other engine parts that have been waiting in my room lol.
Heres where i ended today around 5:30:
