Feb 25, 2011 Pulled a couple of bits off the motor after dinner today, replaced the plugs while I was at it. Clutch has seen better days.... Pressure plate is done as well Flywheel is looking just as bad as the pressure plate Slight leak on the rear main seal

Feb 20, 2011 Was just going through the donor car to pull the boost, water temp and oil pressure gauges out along with the pillar pods when I noticed a manual boost controller stuffed on the side of the drivers seat, and the HKS turbo timer I somehow completely missed before. :)

Feb 19, 2011 Pulled the transmission this morning to have a look at the clutch and flywheel. Turns out both are original, so I'll be replacing those and the rear main once they come in. Cleaned up the bellhousing and fork while it was all apart too. Did a little bit of garage straightening...

Up UP! and AWAY!

Sep 28, 2010 Circuit Sports Oil Filter relocation kit, walbro 255 (wish I'd known the donor car had one and a brand new spare before I ordered it), and turbo gaskets showed up today, new corner lights are on the way as well. About to order a new thermostat and water pump along with belts now...

Sep 25, 2010 The donor car is in my driveway, already has a wired up and running S14 SR20DET in it, along with z32 brakes (front and rear) and a host of other parts. It has the most obnoxious exhaust I've ever seen and heard (come take the cat-back away $100!!), and a completely fubar passenger...
