Planning on refreshing my motor next week, head gasket, studs and other seals. Would anybody be willing to make a parts list for a mild refresh so I don't forget anything?

[mbonanni]

That is what I figured.

I am leaning towards an f1 racing oe, stage 1 (maybe 2?) clutch with flywheel, or that sachs clutch with flywheel.

[mbonanni]

For a refresh I did

Timing belt
tensioner
waterpump
thermostat
cam seal orings
camshaft seal
head bolts
intake elbow
intake gaskets
throttle body gasket
exhaust gasket
valve cover
timing cover upper/low
rubber timing seal
oil pan
head gasket
water pump gasket
Heater return gasket
cap
rotor
crankshaft f/r seal
spark plugs
exhaust flange

This was no more than 300-$350.
If I had more money I would do a bottom/top end rebuild cause the motor is apart and out, but i don't have enough.

I had a stage 2 (clutch masters) with a jb racing lightweight flywheel. i loved it, had a tune, intake, exhaust, and a 4.10lsd.

but then stage 2 it kind of overkill for a NA IMO. I wanted to go with a turbo, thats why i had it, but it all was put on before i ever got a turbo or a full setup.

id say the SACHS because i have no experience with f1 racing.

[mbonanni]

I have not read one negative review on f1 racing clutches stage 2 and up, but I have not read anything about stage 1 or oe replacement.

For the difference of $30 I think I will go with f1, depending on how much the flywheel is.

I got my fenders rolled/pulled/fixed (front lips were kinda pulled out) and installed 15mm spacers in the rear as well as put the spring pads back on. Pretty good day :D

Got my car painted alpine white III by Jesse Stacks. here are some pictures to show his work.

What kind of prep work did you do? Side mouldings, grills, taillights, headlights, emblems, front trim?, rain gutter, side mirrors, door handles? ETC.

Mine turned out amazing, I paid for the color sanding and door jams though so there's no runs. Well, one, but it's not as bad as yours. Did you choose to paint your chipgaurd at the bottom white? I told him to keep mine black...

My only compaint from the shop was a little overspray in the engine area, which came off EASILY with a little paint thinner, and the arm that holds up the hood. It was painted white (like yours), so I took it off and painted it black. It also doesn't look like you took your front lip off?...Also I have that same fucking dent in my rear passenger apron, it blows.

If you aren't happy with that run, talk to him and work something out. I noticed they missed a dent on my front drivers fender and he told me to bring it back asap, it was fixed perfectly a few days later and he was more than apologetic.

Also, what's up with your fog lights? Is that just tape over them or what?

And finally was this a color change? From what to what?

Sorry for the million questions, just curious.

My car was alpine white when i got it (So i didnt have to do jams). It had dents with bondo and spraypaint all ovet . i took off my bumpers(put rear bumper on for paint), bumper trim door trim, replaced a fender, door handles, emblems ect.. I told him to paint the chip gaurd cus it was well..... chipped up and i have to repaint it anyways. I took my lip, grills, and kidneys off. and i have fog light delete panels. im hoping the runs will buff out and i was talking to him about taking it back for wet sand and to paint an IS lip. Any more Questions?:p
