The transfer case all painted and nice.. also is org. and has 172k And while we at it we also did the NON ABS This is what is coming to the car once I get a head done for it. It is a fully built block. bored .20 over, JE pistons, Eagle rods, All ARP hardware. I want to get rid of the eagles and get manly TT I-beams. And get it blue printed/balanced

Thanks man. yes lol I am very devoted to learning and doing as much as I can. That sucks about your garage sit! lol I do all my work on the ground in the dirt hhahah! I have a garage out back but its not like big enough to do the work inside. And not lit up enough. So if it rains or snows and something happens im stuck doing it in the mud lol. Why don't you rent a garage?

don't have a garage close enough to bother with. Don't get me wrong, I've replaced two turbo setups, done exhaust swaps, suspension installs...etc. All in my parking space. Just not motor builds..haha. The stuff i'm doing now is already against assocation rules. i get in trouble all the time for working on my car.

And I will post everything that gets done to the car up then. Just being unemployed right now is really slowing me down from doing everything else I plan to do.

Wow that's a nice crack on that piston. These DSMs bring back painful yet pleasant memories. Good move on ditching the ebay turbo, it can only be a crap car if you put crap in it.

lol well the kid who I bought the car off of back in 2008 had the 16g on it. ha so I ran it until it blew. I don't like anything ebay. Its junk. Yes painful in deed lol. Painful to the wallet/purse lol! But they are fun cars when they work lol. I have a lot of plans for it. Hopefully soon I will get hired some where and can continue ordering parts for a head build for my built block. =)

b/c I didn't have a choice in the matter if I went with puck or street disc. My boyfriend pulled the clutch and puck out of his 1g for my 2g when my throwout barring went. I don't have a job so I don't have money to buy the street disc. Do I like that I have a puck.. no. but for right now its guna have to do. =/
lol Nick do you even know who this is? haha.
