it officially has an engine and transmission....plus a new hood to boot since Jeff screwed me out of the original hood the car had, bastard! :biglaugh:
Hey, we agreed to sign on terms and contracts.
So, I guess now would be a good time to tell you that you've also signed your life away as well......
LITERALLY.

everything is kinda slow going right now with all the cutting back on OT at work, hell they just recently decided to save money and take all the newspaper away in the break rooms. I'm actually thinking about going to school in the evening to work my way to being an IT....
alrighty...I got a temporary drop in motor w/ 60-1 and some other stuff I'll be getting in 3 weeks time or so. Plan is to drive this one till I get the other one built.... :naughty:

I suppose you're right...I keep forgetting to bring my Rebel XTI with me to go sit in my car and make turbo spooling noises. I really need to get started swapping driveshaft, pedal assembly, and center console(gear shifter)...I'll see what I can do.

Oh sweet. You're talking about that 7M w/ the RK/BHG/RF?
Niiice... :evil2:
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang, already got RF?
He's pretty kick-ass...
Just be glad your not swapping pedals in a mkII, that's a bitch. In the mkIII you have room and all the places to put bolts are already installed.
Lemme know if you need more RF, I got teh hook upz.

yea? only thing holding me back is all the cutting back on OT, so getting everything is going slow. I did pick up some items though, even have a few pictures....
Not pictured yet is the pipe going into the intake manifold, thanks jeff...

Aight...this deal fell thru but I found a built motor that comes with everything to get going, downside it cost more then the last deal. However the Wiseco Pistons, Eagle Rods, HKS MHG, and APR bolts/studs makes up for the difference in price, just need to send the turbo the guy is throwing in with the motor to bigaaron for a brand new upgraded 57 trim. Next up would be a clutch...either clutchnet, execdy, act, or clutchmaster are my current choices for what I'll be putting in depending on priced and performance(even go the extra mile when I can to support the venders). I'd still need IC pipes, battery, radiator, and 11 pound spring for my TiAL. If I can, I'd like to get an SAFC II and a wideband...probably a Zeitronix Zt-2 + ZR-1 Blue Digits AFR and Lambda Gauge Combo.

yea, not much is happening around here at the moment....just doing some misc researching on what clutch to use, SAFC, tires/wheels fitment, etc....
AutoBone lifetime warranty ftw.
The last clutch you, or your friends, will have to buy if you play your cards right....

pffttt.....
If you can drive a clutch halfway decent, it shouldn't be a problem until you hit numbers a lot higher than most ever will.
I'll run the AutoBone clutch in my swap.
