    SI batteries and odometer fixed and back in. Need to order the shifter seal then I can put the new driveshaft in. Then its on to the timing belt, water pump, cam seal and front main seal for good measure.

      I've had that clutch for about a year now, no complaints. I drive pretty normal most of the time, but my car loves accelerating so it gets a work out pretty often.

        Yeah, for it being a pucked clutch it is pretty smooth. Nice ride btw.

          Got the driveshaft back in and also replaced the rear output seal. I also topped off the trans and diff oil until I figure out what to replace it with. Any suggestions?

              looks nice, power is so easy to get with water meth injection.

                  How are the big power guys keeping the axles in one piece? Just a fluke or should I stock up?

                    I'm going to say fluke.

                    the only person I know who continiously keeps breaking axles and getting free warranty replacements (lol) has around 500wtq+

                            Ok so the project is moving along nicely. Most of the quirks are ironed out. Got a rust free hood, still need to fix the sunroof though.

                            Parts being ordered this weekend
                            - Lugtronic VEMS with boost solenoid, internal 1 GB data logging.
                            - DSS driveshaft with no CSB. ORDERED
                            - AWIC setup.
                            - Maybe a PTE turbo.
