My stock rear end took a crap shortly after i bought it and because its a sedan it was an open diff anyway, so i found and bought a 3.73 limited slip from cali off a user on here. im not to worried about the rear end, it should hold up well but thanks for the suggestion!

Well waiting for more parts to get here so we decided to do some cleaning, the head came out super awesome, cleaned up real nice then a little cast aluminum paint to top it off,

Then we decided to start cleaning up the engine bay a little, more tomorrow then a little paint and she should be looking good!


PS: I hate waiting for parts lol.Comment

Brought more parts home from powder coating today, Im going to lay everything out tomorrow and take a few more pics, the parts turned out awesome!

Didn't think we had enough high temp powder left to finish my stuff but we had just barely enough lol.
Then we took a quick trip to Summit Racing (30 mins away) to get the rest of the little stuff i needed, Couplers, vbands, etc etc.


I would like to say how completely awesome Pelican Parts is, I bought every little o-ring, gasket, belt and seal I could think of on the M20 and my total was under $100 and I had a tracking number in less then 3 hours lol. They are an awesome company with fantastic service :)Comment

Guten parts has had the best prices I have found. And Levent is amazing when it comes to customer service. I emailed him a pretty detailed question, and he CALLED me with the answer in 5 MINUTES. I was blown away.
Also, im jealous about your trip to Summit. I have been meaning to go to the one here in Georgia forever.Comment

Got all my parts back to the garage from powder coating and laid every thing out in the driveway, turned out real good. All the hot parts are coated in a high temp black powder coat, rated for 1300 degrees but im not super confident in that lol




Also got my oil filter housing tapped and read to go.

Love coming home to this :)

This how i left her yesterday, cant wait for more parts to get here! hopefully tomorrow or saturday. Those packages are my billy rear shocks (the only piece of the suspension still stock) and my Condor engine mounts.Comment

Great work so far! I love a fresh batch of powdercoated parts. :)
Are you going to do anything to the head while it's off?
Oh and good call on staying with a stock headgasket. It will be just fine!Comment

Thanks! and nope just a quick clean for now but in a month or so im going to pull the trans and do a clutch and at that time i plan to throw a cam in it. but for now its in good shape so im just leaving it. My HG actually just showed up at my door, rather excited about that! now just waiting on the studs which should be here today and ill have a busy weekend getting everything back together!Comment

Got my package from pelican today :)


Made a little block off plate for the coolant lines and the tube for the VC breather, turned out nice id say lol

Cut my Magnaflow 14815 off the stock exhaust for use with the new turbo back I am going to be making shortly

and tore the threads out of the O2 getting it out, fail fail fail. time for a new one

Then since the gaskets came in i decided to get the manifold mounted up to the head, it so much easier on the bench then in the car. Everything bolted up nicely!



Still..... waiting on the studs to get here, ugghhComment

Looking good.
Might make myself one of those plates. Unless you care to make another one?
