Was there any drilling involved?
Can you show me the process of screwing in that ****?
Looks like it might have been hard to install...
You didn't strip down too much before getting it in there- Must have been in a hurry..?

Your such a smartass.
It was a 3 second install, with my left hand.


But yeah, car can't go into the body shop next Wednesday. Mid-November before I can actually drive it. Things keep happening, and dates keep getting moved back.

I don't really have a "build" going on here. More like, a quest for fitment...

Nice SC project you have going on there. I am not to crazy about the offset in the front but I bet it will all come together with a proper pull and camber adjustment.

Lol I have a shifter kinda like that that I put on sometimes. I'm scared to post pics though out of fear of losing my manliness haha. The car should look great once its out of the body shop though!

So anyways, finally got the crank pulley bolt off to access my waterpump. That thing was ridiculously torqued. Drove a hour to get a chain wrench, so I dropped some cash on a tool thats just gonna sit around. Oh well, thats how it goes.
Anyways, I thought I'd share a picture with you guys. Its really a thinker. I have a funny feeling about this motor. To me, it looks like theres some water in my oil. If the head is toasted, it would explain a lot about the car.



Guess what that is. Oil? No... Poo? No... Chocolate? No...
COOLANT! Nothing like chunky coolant.

Once everything gets put back together, I'm going to do a compression test to see whats up with this motor.

Its not off of Ebay. Tommy, from Gotuning got it for my from Japan. Your going to pay top price right now because the yen is really strong right now. I paid top dollar, but oh well. I wanted it.

Well, you have a lot more leverage. Personally I like it, some people can't get used to driving with them. You just can't be slamming it into gears as you might shatter the shifter itself. Also they've been known to break trannys because of the leverage.

Yo Saurah, Have you ever worn pantyhose while driving in that SC? I hear that it's bad luck, so if you've done it before, don't do it again.

This goes out to all the other female members in this forum...Don't drive in your SC wearing pantyhose.

Wow, this might just set ya back a bit! That SUX! Good time to break it down and do valves and cams though- hehehe, j/k! Good luck with the car- I'm always happy to see another girl jump headfirst into this stuff...even if you have very strange taste in shifters.

So, finally I got my wheels to fit. A lot of stupid stuff came up, and I couldn't decide which route to go with my fender modification. Finally I just said screw it the other night and jumped into getting my fenders rolled. I'll get some better pictures later, since this is all I have.



I also got new rubber


But yeah, in case anyone was wondering what was up. Car is dumped, my mud flaps have about a inch of clearance.
