Update: Maryland continues to get crappier.

I was wondering, are you going to be doing any reinforcements like front or rear subframe?

At some point, yes. I've got the IE reinforcements already though. Regardless, it should be fine. I've been doing some research and its never come up as an issue with anybody who has done the swap. I am swapping to a 3.25lsd, don't think I've mentioned that.

Time got in the way, and we needed to start getting the rallycross car that I'm helping build together, updates by sunday I promise! Ordering lots of stuff today.

:(

:(

Never fear! Mostly just painted. Parts of the interior again, valve covers, wiper arms, finishing up the oil pan. My parts should be here tomorrow. I'll get pics of all those and some of the parts I painted when I can, trying to find the parts place to order the brake set-up. Sorry for lack of pics :(

[FunfGan]

Well, some parts came early. I'm still waiting on the Wilwood clutch kit, but its a custom item so it will take a week or so. Anyway;

Extra clutch line, with some extra adapters and fittings:





Some bolts for the bell housing:


Whats in here?


Upgraded throw out bearing, exciting stuff!


Intake mani gasket:

Are you keeping the viennas?

[FunfGan]

Are you keeping the viennas?

Trying to sell, I may have them sold to a local...

But yes, they are for sale :D

[jaywood]

Why no viennas?

Parts! ;)

[FunfGan]

Want to save up for wider wheels and flairs :D

And yep, nothing like coming home from parts in the mail!

Always wanted flares but could never justify the price

Always wanted flares but could never justify the price

I mean, If you're looking for performance, its more than worth it to run wider rubber. But yeah, idk what you're looking for, but I wouldn't pay that just for looks. Can get them for about $400 though...

[FunfGan]

S'more small updates.

Spencer got the pan all but done. Needs to be ground down, re-welded and then leak tested.





Got Gretta out for the first time in a while, what a sad sight..





I hate wiring.


Her main use the past few months...



Andddddd, engine in correctly!






Hmm... Big enough bottle of nitrous?

This about made me fall on the floor laughing!!!! My buddy spent about $8000 there and didnt get nothing. I spent like $100 in stuff and got that free hat. He called up and asked if he could get a hat, and they told him he had to buy one....LOL

Hahah! I've "only" spent about ~$600 there so far, I like to think that the hat is license to drive a car with a domestic power plant
