Hey fellow R3V members! I still haven't started an official build thread yet so here it is.
The car started off as an m20 with an automatic trans. I bought this car last summer with the intentions of swapping in an s50 that I had from a previous car and obviously converting to manual. I decided to tear down the s50 and sure enough the pistons were all chewed up and there were 2 inch sections of piston rings that were gone. Instead of dropping the car in n.a. I made a decision to build it for boost.

-Nitto nt01 tires
Plans

So far I have pulled the stock motor thursday and sold it to a local mechanic. Anybody have a good way to get rid of auto transmissions? I have had one for years that no matter how hard I try I cant sell. And now I have another...

Before cleaning the bay

And after several hours of cleaning(still not done)
