ok now for the updates

This is the current and new clutch/puck. My throw out barring took a crap. So we pulled the trans and discovered that the act clutch and puck was shot. And the fly wheel surface was trashed. So now I have a Clutch Masters FX 400 with a 4 puck disc and the findanza light weight fly...

The throw out barring







The trans all nice and painted. haha still kickin and has 172k on it!


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

And this is the current bay as of today haha. Fresh crappy cell phone pics! As soon as I get the money I am planning on getting parts powder coated to give the bay that extra clean nice look.

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.

haha yep! im a girl lol. And also how it says up above... "along with my man" haha. Ive put a lot of hard work and time into this car and I plan on continuing. 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.
