      So I got it up and running took it to the exhaust shop got a nice exhaust setup ill have to take some pics later headers to down pipe to a single 2.5" into a nice magnaflow it sounds so good. Then after driving the swap around for about a week I noticed the heat gauge climb up past 70% or so on the way home from work, pulled over waited for it to cool and drove a few more exits, did this all the way home. I check it out and saw oil leaking from the HG and I figured I might as well get a new head with a cam and HD rockers and a 3.73 LSD.

      Mmmmmm this nice.



      I also got some more goodies
      leather back seat with arm rest

      french smiles tail light gaskets, and a zhp nob with a blunt tech short shift kit. also a 3.73 lsd not pictured.

      sexy bushings and yes that sub frame riser kit



      here is how the front sits with the new stuff


      I'm going to have to flair the fenders a little in the front but I'm okay with that. =)


      That's all for now. Maybe ill have some time to work on it around x-mas vacation.

                Did some work today, I cleaned up the exhaust and painted a few things.

                Got my all red tail lights installed with new gaskets.

                Got one of the few things I need to put the rear end back together.

                And I got the head torn off, so now I need to clean this bish.

                  Got a little time to work on it today.
                  I did a home job of port matching the intake mani.
                  Not to bad, I'm going to get it hot tanked with a few other things then paint and I should be all ready to put everything back together.

                  Here you can see the humps inside the mani, and how much material there is.



                  humps all gone


                  nice and smooth.

                    I started on installing my short shifter / DSSR.
                    Found this gem from the PO lol. This whole car has been full of shit like this. At least it has a new flex disk.

                    got my new shifter carrier bushing in place

                    and instead of buying a new one of these for $40 Ill just cut this one down.

                                This car used to be yours remember

                                replaced my selector shaft seal, installed my DSSR, delrin shifter bushings and z3 shifter with zhp weighted nob, condor tranny mounts. Then I finished installing my subframe, and SS lines and new e-brake parts/ pads and rear brake pads/rotors, then I got my new 4.10 diff all clean and sealed up I will install this in about 10 hours got to sleep then change a co-workers oil and fix my friends honda, then I'll be back at it hopefully I can get the rear completely finished and set this thing down on the ground I cant wait to see it. I'm getting close now!
